Deck Builders and Installation Services For Charlotte, NC Homes

Although Charlotte’s climate can be temperamental at times, we’re lucky to enjoy some of the mildest weather for spending time outside most of the year. As local deck builders in Charlotte, we help homeowners plan, design, and build spaces that fit everyday life.

For many residents, there’s nothing better than gathering with friends and family in the backyard for good food and easy conversation, and a well-built deck makes that tradition even better.

Deck Plus brings that space to life. Our custom deck builders in Charlotte, NC, handle design and deck installation from start to finish, with experienced deck contractors guiding materials, layout, and details so your backyard deck feels solid, seamless, and built for everyday use. Our deck builders guide you toward styles that match your yard, budget, and maintenance goals.

Types of Decks We Build

If you are just starting to plan, there are several styles our deck contractors design and install, each fitting a different yard and lifestyle. Our deck builders design and install options that fit your yard, budget, and routine.

  • Attached: The classic choice, installed directly to the home, often rectangular, L shaped, or U shaped, and ideal when you want easy flow from the kitchen to the backyard.
  • Detached: Set anywhere in the yard and connected by a walkway, a smart option where drainage is tricky or you want a quiet seating area away from the door.
  • Rooftop: When code allows and the view is worth it, a rooftop deck turns unused space into your favorite room in the house.
  • Multi-tier: If your yard isn’t level or has hills, a deck with one level attached to your home and stairs that lead to one or more additional levels could be ideal.
  • Wrap-around: These decks offer access from multiple entry points and may have multiple levels.

Wood vs. Composite Decking: Which Is Right for You?

At Deck Plus, we offer Charlotte customers the option of wood or composite decking. Homeowners love the timeless look and natural durability of wood, and there are multiple options when it comes to affordability.

You can choose from these wood materials:

  • Pressure-treated wood
  • Cedar
  • Ipe
  • Redwood

Wood requires more maintenance and is more susceptible to damage, but it does provide an undeniable appeal you don’t get with other materials.

Composite decks are made from a calculated mixture of wood fibers and plastic. Quality composite decking is almost indistinguishable from wood, is durable, and has much lower maintenance requirements.

Our custom deck builders walk you through materials, rails, lighting, and layout so the surface, color, and details match how you live.

Deck Replacement

Even the best structures age, so it helps to know when repair gives way to a full deck replacement. Signs to watch for include decay or damaged rail posts, a ledger that has loosened from the home, water damage on posts or joists, and any wobble you feel underfoot. An on-site review from our deck builders confirms whether repairs or a new build makes more sense.

A straightforward inspection from Deck Plus will tell you whether repairs are sensible or if new deck installation will serve you better long term. Let us revitalize your outdoor space and schedule a design consultation.

Decking FAQs

Lifespan comes down to material and care. Pressure-treated boards can run a solid decade or more with upkeep, while quality composites often push well past twenty years. For details by brand and warranty, ask our deck builders for material-by-material lifespan breakdown.

 

PVC handles moisture but can look shiny and react to summer heat. Most homeowners prefer composite for a better balance of appearance and stability. 

Size, site, and permitting set the pace, but once crews start, most projects wrap in one to three weeks. If you want the steps from design to punch list, check our step-by-step deck build timeline.

Yes. A building permit is usually required for deck installations in Charlotte. Acquiring a permit ensures that the deck’s design complies with local building codes and safety standards.

We build with pressure-treated lumber, cedar, ipe, and composite, each trading look, upkeep, and cost differently. Start with a quick pressure-treated pros and cons refresher before you compare other woods and composites.

Regular maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of your deck. Basic upkeep includes sweeping off debris, cleaning with a specialized cleaner, and, for wooden decks, periodic staining or sealing. Composite and vinyl decks usually require less maintenance than wood decks. Keep it on track with our seasonal deck maintenance checklist.

A well-designed and constructed deck can significantly boost your property’s value. Besides offering additional functional outdoor space, a deck enhances the aesthetic appeal of your home.
