Whether you're adding a new deck to enhance outdoor living or repairing an existing structure, the process includes design consultation, material selection, and professional installation. Composite decking resists moisture and insects without the maintenance demands of wood, while pressure-treated lumber offers a traditional look with enhanced durability. Every board is fastened securely, and joists are spaced to prevent sagging under Garden City's heavy summer rains.

Details That Matter Most

Every deck project begins with site evaluation, where soil drainage, foundation proximity, and sun exposure are assessed to determine the best layout and materials. In Garden City, where sandy soil and high water tables affect footing placement, concrete piers are set deep and reinforced to prevent shifting. Framing is leveled and anchored to your home's structure using galvanized hardware that resists corrosion from salt air.

Cornerstone Improvements LLC builds decks with structural reinforcement that includes doubled joists, cross-bracing, and blocking to prevent wobbling or bouncing underfoot. Decking boards are spaced to allow water drainage and airflow, reducing the risk of rot and mildew. Handrails, steps, and safety upgrades are installed to meet IRC standards, with posts sunk into concrete footings and rails secured at proper heights for family safety.

Composite materials come in a range of colors and finishes that mimic natural wood without the need for annual staining or sealing. Wood decks are treated with weather-sealed coatings that protect against UV damage and moisture infiltration. Final inspections ensure every rail is secure, every board is fastened, and your deck is ready for immediate use.

Why Locals Choose This Option

Homeowners planning deck projects frequently ask about material longevity, maintenance requirements, and how to design a space that works with their yard and home layout.

Should I choose wood or composite for my deck?
Composite resists moisture, insects, and fading without annual maintenance, while pressure-treated wood offers a classic look and lower upfront cost. Both are weather-sealed for long-term durability.
How long does it take to build a new deck?
Most decks are completed in three to five days, depending on size and design complexity. Footings must cure for 24 hours before framing begins, so timelines account for concrete setting.
Can you repair just part of my existing deck?
Yes, structural reinforcement and board replacement can extend the life of an older deck without the cost of a full rebuild. Damaged joists, railings, and decking are replaced to match your existing structure.
Do I need a permit for deck construction in Garden City?
Most decks over a certain height or attached to the home require a permit. We handle all permit applications and schedule inspections to ensure your project meets local building codes.
How do I keep my deck looking good in this climate?
Composite decks only need occasional washing with soap and water, while wood decks benefit from annual cleaning and resealing to protect against sun and moisture damage.
