Frequently asked questions
Deck Builder questions, answered
Real answers from a local Kitty Hawk deck builder crew — no fluff, no upsell.
Do you build new decks or just repair?
Both — new construction, re-decks, structural repair, and storm damage.
What materials do you recommend?
The one that fits your budget and use — composite for low maintenance, treated pine with upkeep, hardwood for premium. We give the honest tradeoff.
Do you handle permits and engineering?
Yes — permitting, and engineering for wind uplift on elevated and oceanfront decks.
Can you repair instead of replace?
Often. If the frame is sound a re-deck or a targeted structural repair saves a full replacement. We inspect and tell you honestly.
What areas do you cover?
Kitty Hawk, Nags Head, Duck, Corolla, and the surrounding northern Outer Banks.
Are you insured?
The insurance paperwork comes with the written quote — ask for it before we start. We document storm damage for your adjuster.
