Ten miles from the ocean, a deck lives a harder life.
Salt air eats cheap fasteners, coastal sun cooks unsealed boards, and summer storms find every soft spot in a ledger. We build and repair decks the Grand Strand way — hardware rated for the coast, framing done to code, and no shortcuts hiding under the boards.
Stainless or hot-dipped galvanized on every job — the connectors that shrug off salt air instead of bleeding rust down your posts.
Measured quote, itemized materials, and a number that doesn't drift once the build starts.
If your deck needs three boards and a flashing fix, that's what we'll tell you — not a demolition pitch.
What we build and fix
From a new backyard deck in Carolina Forest to a marsh-battered rebuild in Murrells Inlet.
Custom Deck Building
New decks in pressure-treated pine or composite, engineered for coastal wind loads and Horry County permits. Most builds run $8,000–$25,000 depending on size and decking.
Pricing & process →Deck Repair
Soft boards, wobbly railings, rusted joist hangers, a ledger you're not sure about — diagnosed honestly and fixed properly. The safety items come first, every time.
Repair service →Deck Restoration
Sound frame, tired surface. Board replacement, sanding, cleaning, and a marine-grade seal or stain that actually stands up to beach sun.
Restoration →Composite vs. Wood
The question every deck owner on the Strand eventually asks. We wrote down the honest math — upfront cost, upkeep, and how each one ages by the ocean.

The same climate that fills this coast with new residents every year is rough on outdoor lumber. Salt carried on the sea breeze settles on every surface within miles of the beach and goes to work on ordinary zinc-plated screws and hangers — which is why so many local decks fail at the hardware long before the boards give out. Add a UV index that bleaches unsealed pine gray in a couple of summers, afternoon thunderstorms that keep framing damp, and the occasional tropical system testing every connection, and a deck here simply needs to be built better than one in the Upstate.
None of that is a reason to skip the deck — outdoor living is half the point of moving here. It's a reason to build with the coast in mind: flashing done right at the ledger, hardware that matches the environment, and a maintenance rhythm that protects the investment. That's the whole company in one sentence.
New build, repair, or restore — which one do you need?
Rule of thumb from years of crawling under decks: if the framing is sound and the surface is ugly, restoration gets you a near-new deck for a fraction of a rebuild. If boards flex, railings move, or anything near the house looks rusty, start with a repair evaluation — ledger and structural issues don't announce themselves politely. And if your deck was built by the home's builder fifteen years ago at the lowest possible spec, a new build is often cheaper than chasing failures one season at a time.
