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.

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.

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.

Rooftop

When code allows and the view is worth it, a rooftop deck turns unused space into your favorite room in the house.

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:

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.
