Our Services

We are experts at creating custom decks, pergolas, and gazebos that compliment your home. We have the skills to make your dream a reality and get it done efficiently without sacrificing quality.

We also specialize in working around pools and landscaping so that everything looks natural and compliments your home. We pride ourselves in building your dream project.

Composite & Wood Decks

Choose a composite deck for lasting beauty and minimal maintenance. Made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and plastic, composite decking offers the look of natural wood without the upkeep. These durable boards resist fading, staining, scratching, and mold, and won't splinter or rot. Enjoy a barefoot-friendly surface that stays cooler in the sun and doesn't require staining, sealing, or painting. Available in various colors and textures, composite decks provide a long-lasting, eco-friendly alternative to traditional wood. With a composite deck, you'll spend less time on maintenance and more time enjoying your outdoor space.

Pergolas & Gazebos

Enhance your deck with our custom pergolas and gazebos. These structures add function and style to your outdoor space. Pergolas provide partial shade with an open lattice roof, perfect for plants or lighting. Gazebos offer full coverage, creating a sheltered spot for relaxation or gatherings. Built directly onto your deck, these additions define areas, improve aesthetics, and extend outdoor living. We use quality materials and skilled craftsmanship to ensure durability and seamless integration with your existing deck.

I had a great experience working with Morris from Imagine Decks. He listened to my ideas, offered helpful suggestions, and really knew his stuff. Morris and his crew were professional, hardworking, and paid attention to every detail. The end result is a beautiful, well-built deck that I know will last for years. I highly recommend Imagine Decks and Carpentry to anyone looking for quality work and great service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

How long does it take to build a deck?

It depends on the size and design. Most decks can be finished in a few days, but decks with intricate designs over 1000 sq ft may take longer.

Do you recommend composite or wood decks?

The choice between composite and wood decks depends on your priorities. If you value low maintenance and longevity, composite decks are a great choice. They require minimal upkeep and can last 25-30 years or more. However, they have a higher initial cost and may have a less natural appearance. If you prefer a more natural look and don't mind regular maintenance, wood decks are a good option. They offer a wide variety of wood types and stains, and can be sanded and refinished to extend their lifespan. However, they require more upkeep and are susceptible to rot, warping, and insect damage. Ultimately, consider your budget, desired appearance, and maintenance preferences when deciding between composite and wood decks.

Can you assist with permits?

Yes we can, but this is something you can do on your own that will speed up the process. You can get this done before you decide who your hiring to build the deck. We recommend doing some research on applying for permits and getting that done asap, but if you're unsure and want guidance, we can help.

How much will my deck cost?

This largely depends on the size and design. Some railings can add an extra $20k+ to your project if you want to get fancy on a big deck. Best thing to do is give us a call so we can give you a rough quote. If it's in your ballpark then we can come out for an on-site estimate to give you a more exact number.

Are you licensed and insured?
