Custom Deck Installation in Charlotte, NC

Although Charlotte’s climate can be temperamental at times, we’re lucky to have some of the mildest weather for enjoying the outdoors year-round.

For many residents, there’s nothing better than gathering with friends and family in the backyard for good fun and great food — and a backyard deck is a way to make that tradition exceptional.

Deck Plus is here to make your vision of a backyard deck come to life. For over 15 years, we’ve provided top-rated custom deck design and building services in the Charlotte metro area. No matter the scope of your project, you can rely on us for awe-inspiring results. 

Types of Decks

If you’re in the beginning stages of planning your deck project, you may be surprised to know there are several different styles to choose from, including:

  • Attached: This is the standard deck, installed directly onto your home. They can be rectangular, L-shaped, or U-shaped.
  • Detached: These decks can be anywhere in your yard and are accessible by a walkway, making them ideal for areas with sub-par drainage.
  • Rooftop: A rooftop deck could be right for you if you have a great view and a relatively non-restricted building code.
  • Multi-tier: If your yard isn’t level or features hills, a deck with one level attached to your home and stairs that lead to one or more additional levels could be ideal.
  • Wraparound: 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, durable, and has much lower maintenance requirements.

The expert consultants at Deck Plus can further expand on these options to find the right balance of beauty and budget for your new deck.

Deck Replacement

Even the best decks don’t last forever, so it’s important to determine whether your deck is worth repairing or if it’s time to replace it. Here are a few signs it’s time to consider replacement:

  • Decay, damage, or loosened railing posts
  • Unsecured or separated ledger board
  • Water damage or rot on deck posts or joists
  • Wobbling when walking across the deck

A deck inspection from Deck Plus will clearly determine whether your deck is suitable for repair or if you need to install a new one.

Decking FAQs

Wood decks can last up to 15 years, while the best composites last about 25 to 30 years.

We don’t recommend it. PVC has an obvious plastic appearance and can easily warp in North Carolina’s hot, humid summers.

The time it takes to build a deck can vary based on the project’s size and complexity. On average, most decks can be completed in one to three weeks. However, factors like acquiring permits or weather conditions can influence the 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.

Various materials are available for deck construction, including wood (like cedar or redwood), composites, and vinyl. Each material has pros and cons in terms of aesthetics, durability, maintenance, and cost.

Regular maintenance can significantly extend the life span 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.

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.
