How We Work

From consultation through final inspection, we handle every step. Our process keeps you informed and your project on track.

1

Site Assessment

We visit your Wrightsville Beach, Airlie, or Lansdowne-area home to evaluate soil, utilities, HOA rules, and permitting needs before design begins.

2

Design & Permitting

We produce detailed drawings and pull all permits with New Hanover County Building Safety. You review the plan before construction starts.

3

Foundation & Framing

Footings are set to code, accounting for coastal soil conditions. We frame the deck, screen room, or pergola structure with structural inspection.

4

Materials & Systems

We install composite decking, aluminum railings, vinyl windows, and screening chosen for salt-air durability and minimal upkeep.

5

Final Inspection

County inspector signs off. We walk through the finished space, test operable components, and answer your questions.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Our Services

Custom Decks for Coastal Living

We design decks for waterfront estates near Airlie Road, traditional subdivisions, and elevated homes in Eastwind-Piney Acres. Composite decking resists salt spray and humidity. Proper drainage prevents rot beneath screened additions.

Built-in seating, custom railings, and integrated lighting options available.

Screen Rooms & Enclosures

Screen your porch, patio, or existing deck to block bugs, wind-blown sand, and salt mist. Aluminum frames and heavy-duty screening handle Wilmington's coastal weather and frequent rain.

Three-season rooms add comfort; four-season enclosures heat for winter use.

Louvered Pergolas & Shade Structures

Motorized louvered pergolas give you control—open for shade, close against sudden storms. Aluminum construction won't rust in salt air. Ideal for entertaining on patios throughout the county.

Fixed pergolas offer traditional timber or modern aluminum designs.

Why Coastal Durability Matters

New Hanover County's outdoor spaces face salt spray, wind, and 119 annual rainy days. Standard wood decks fail fast. We use materials and methods built for this climate.

Our decks, screens, and pergolas are engineered for coastal salt air, humidity, and storm winds without warranty-voiding shortcuts.

Low Maintenance, High Performance

Composite decking doesn't splinter or rot. Vinyl windows don't swell. Aluminum railings don't rust. You spend more time enjoying your outdoor space and less time staining, sealing, or replacing.

HOA & Code Compliance Built In

Many New Hanover County neighborhoods—Landfall, Bentley Gardens, Autumn Hall—require design approval. We know those rules and submit plans that get approved the first time. Building permits are pulled and tracked by our team.

What Does Deck Construction Involve in New Hanover County?

Building a durable deck in our coastal climate requires proper footings, code-compliant framing, and weather-resistant materials. Here's what the process involves:

  • Soil evaluation and footing depth (accounting for New Hanover County moisture and frost line)
  • Structural engineering to handle wind loads and snow loads in building code
  • Composite or pressure-treated framing with proper spacing for drainage
  • Composite or aluminum decking rated for coastal conditions
  • Aluminum or composite railings (balusters spaced for code safety)
  • Permitting and inspections through New Hanover County Building Safety

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a deck in New Hanover County?

Yes. New deck construction requires a building permit from New Hanover County Building Safety. We pull it for you and coordinate inspections.

What's the difference between a screen room and a sunroom?

A screen room blocks insects and wind but stays unheated. A sunroom (3-season or 4-season) adds insulation and heating, extending usability into cooler months.

Can composite decking handle salt air?

Premium composite brands resist salt spray, mold, and staining far better than wood. We select products proven in coastal Wilmington conditions.

Does my HOA need to approve my deck or pergola?

Many New Hanover County neighborhoods (Landfall, Autumn Hall, Bentley Gardens) require architectural review. We include HOA approval in our design process.

Why do decks fail in New Hanover County?

Poor drainage, shallow footings, salt spray corrosion, and wood rot caused by high humidity. We design for all these factors from day one.

Can I add an outdoor kitchen to my deck?

Yes. Built-in grills, mini-fridges, and stone counters are popular in New Hanover neighborhoods. We integrate them into the deck design with proper utilities and drainage.
