Custom Decking: Improve Safety and Functionality in Your Home
Your deck is more than just a place for a grill; it’s an extension of your home’s living space. However, after 25 years in the industry, I’ve seen how quickly a poorly built deck can become a liability.
Focus on Structural Safety
In North Carolina, humidity and heavy rain take a toll on wood. To improve safety and functionality in homes, we prioritize:
Code-Compliant Framing: Ensuring joists and ledger boards are flashed and bolted correctly to prevent collapses.
Sturdy Railing Systems: Installing high-quality, wobble-free railings for children and guests.
Proper Stairs: Building wide, consistent treads to prevent trips and falls.

- 1. Identify the Source Leaks rarely start where the water drips. We trace water paths back to the source—usually failing flashing or cracked vent boots.
- 2. Inspect the Wood Decking As carpenters, we don't just cover up rot. We strip back to the plywood to ensure the "bones" of your roof are dry and structural.
- 3. Replace Transition Flashing The most vulnerable spots are chimneys and valleys. We use heavy-duty flashing to ensure these water-heavy areas remain watertight.
- 4. Prioritize Ventilation A roof needs to "breathe." Proper attic ventilation prevents shingles from baking in the NC sun, effectively doubling their lifespan.
- 5. Proactive Maintenance Keeping gutters clear and removing debris from valleys prevents water from backing up under shingles and causing rot.
Enhance Your Home's Functionality
A custom-designed deck adds usable square footage to your property. By incorporating built-in seating, multi-level zones, or SunPro motorized awnings, we turn a simple platform into a year-round outdoor room.
