Services
Custom Deck Construction
We design and build custom decks using composite, cedar, and tropical hardwoods. Our process includes structural framing, waterproofing, and code-compliant railings. Projects typically include stairs, lighting, and seating, with options for hot tub integration. Clients receive detailed plans and material samples before construction begins.
Under-deck Drainage Systems
Our under-deck systems protect lower-level outdoor spaces by channeling rainwater away through concealed gutters and downspouts. These systems prevent water damage to ceilings and landscaping while maintaining aesthetic appeal with finished aluminum or wood soffits.
Aluminum Railings
We install durable, low-maintenance aluminum railings in modern and traditional designs. Options include glass infill, cable systems, and powder-coated finishes to match architectural styles while meeting safety standards for height and spacing.
Pergolas and Arbors
Custom pergolas and arbors provide shade and visual interest using cedar, composite, or vinyl materials. We incorporate lighting, climbing plant supports, and integrated seating to create functional outdoor rooms that enhance property value.
Composite Deck Repairs
Our repair services address structural damage, fading, and wear in composite decks. We replace boards, reinforce framing, and reseal surfaces to restore functionality and appearance while extending the lifespan of existing installations.

Our project was a simple deck replacement, new stairs to the ground from the deck and replacement steps to the front porch. We are very happy with all aspects of the project. The work is solid and I felt confident that Andrew and his crew were knowledgeable about deck construction and safety. The crew was friendly and professional and focused on quality work. We wholeheartedly would recommend Andrew, Kevin and their crew to anyone looking for a deck or deck replacement.

After receiving quotes from a few contractors, we hired Dexperts to rebuild our old second story deck and add a new ground-level deck. Andrew and the Dexperts team were very responsive and great at communication. They were wonderful to work with and the decks are beautiful. The build process was done professionally, and cleaned up each day. We would absolutely hire them again, and highly recommend working with them.

Dexperts built our 18x14 Timbertek deck quickly and it's incredibly well done! They were done in 3 days and kept our backyard tidy and clean during the whole process. It's everything you would expect from a professional. We love our new deck and would definitely recommend their services! I've included before and after pictures in this review.
