Deck Installation

We provide complete wood deck installation for residential and commercial properties in Wilmington, NC, handling permitting, site preparation, framing, and installation using pressure-treated wood or premium hardwoods such as Ipe, Tigerwood, and Cumaru to ensure durability and lasting performance.

Deck Repair

Existing wood decking takes on wear over time and needs proper attention to stay safe and functional. We cover inspections, board replacement, frame repairs, resurfacing, additions, and full remodeling to bring your deck back to solid condition.

Deck Footing and Framing

A reliable wood deck starts with a well-built foundation beneath it. We install traditional concrete footings and driven pilings alongside pressure-treated and KDAT lumber framing to give your wood decking the structural base it needs to last.

Custom Deck Design

Our wood deck construction process starts with a design built around your property and how you plan to use the space. Platform, raised, multi-level, pool and spa, covered, screened porch, rooftop, cantilevered, and freestanding options are all available, with 3D CAD modeling for a clear visual before anything is built.

Additional Deck Features

A complete wood decking project includes more than just the surface boards. We install skirting in styles from lattice to composite, Trex Rain Escape underdeck systems, railing, lighting, stairs, privacy screens, and wheelchair ramps as part of any project scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions?

What types of wood are commonly used for decking projects?

Pressure-treated lumber is the most widely used option due to its resistance to moisture and decay. Hardwoods like Ipe, Tigerwood, and Cumaru are also strong choices for wood decking where a denser, longer-lasting material is preferred.

How do wood deck installation services ensure durability and longevity?

Durability comes from proper material selection, correct framing and footing systems, and construction that follows local building codes. A qualified wood deck installation team also accounts for drainage, fastener quality, and structural load requirements throughout the build.

Can a wood deck company provide custom designs for unique layouts?

Yes. An experienced wood deck company works through the design details with you and can accommodate a wide range of layouts including multi-level, cantilevered, rooftop, and pool deck configurations, with 3D modeling available to review before construction starts.

What maintenance practices are recommended for wood decking?

Wood decking benefits from periodic inspections to catch early signs of moisture damage, loose fasteners, or board movement. Keeping the surface clean and addressing minor repairs promptly helps extend the life of the deck and avoids larger structural issues over time.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish, everyone we worked with at DPTU was phenomenal! Christine opened up the communication by responding to our web inquiry, then Bryan coordinated with us to visit the property and look at our current deck and what we were hoping to achieve by going composite instead of pressure treated. He provided concise information that answered all of our questions before landing on a project plan. Communication was always consistent, and Mark and Jeff even made site visits to ensure everything was done accordingly. I will recommend DPTU to anyone who has similar needs, whether its an upgrade or not. Cannot say enough good things about this company and its people!

Deck and Patio TuneUp completed an entire replacement of my rotted out screened back porch with beautiful, maintenance free, custom aluminum framing. What was once an unusable porch is now my zen space! Gene is personable, professional and kept me informed from start to finish. He and his crew are top notch in their craft! Thank you!

We got the estimate on the spot along with an overall expertise that was uniquely impressive and very helpful. We look forward to comparing his estimate with the others we are waiting on.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Deck and Patio Tune Up did an amazing job on both our front and back patio. They replaced our patio railing which was made of wood and had rotted away. They came in and finished the front and back patio railing within a few days. They were quick to respond and provided a free consultation. They gave me regular updates as to when the project would start. They kept to their word and came on the scheduled day. They did a fantastic job. The job was not rushed at all. I saw how the team discussed what to do when certain unexpected things popped up along the way. The team who installed the patio railing took their time to complete quality work. They used quality materials and regularly inspected their work to make sure it was done appropriately. I absolutely recommend Deck and Patio Tune Up!
