Our Services
Decks & Porches
Serving Greenport, the North Fork & Shelter Island, NY.
New decks, porches, and decking repairs for outdoor living.
Overview
What’s involved
We design, build, and repair decks, porches, and screened-in spaces that extend your living area outdoors. That includes new pressure-treated, cedar, and composite decks, porch construction, railings, stairs, and decking repairs. Coastal weather is hard on outdoor structures, so we focus on solid footings, proper flashing where the deck meets the house, and corrosion-resistant fasteners. Whether you want a simple platform for grilling or a full porch for summer evenings, we build it safe, level, and ready for years of use.
Is it time?
When do you need it?
It is time to build or repair when boards are soft or splintering, railings feel loose, the structure wobbles, or the ledger is pulling away from the house, which is a real safety concern. Many homeowners also add a deck or screened porch to create more usable outdoor space, increase home value, or enjoy bug-free evenings through the North Fork summer.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose composite or wood decking?
Composite costs more up front but resists rot and needs little maintenance, while wood is affordable and classic but requires sealing. We help you decide based on use and budget.
Can you repair my existing deck instead of replacing it?
Often yes. If the framing and footings are sound, we can replace decking, railings, and stairs. If the structure is failing, we will tell you honestly.
Do you build screened-in porches?
Yes. Screened porches are one of our specialties. We handle framing, screening, roofing, and finish work for a comfortable, bug-free space.
