Custom decks designed as part of the whole backyard
Deck design and build in Carmel, Fishers, Westfield and Zionsville
Custom decks designed and built for Hamilton County homes in Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, Zionsville, and Noblesville, since 1993.
Deck builders for complete outdoor living projects
Most deck failures (rot, warping, fastener corrosion, ledger failures) are installation problems, not material problems. We have been deck builders in Hamilton County since 1993. We have seen what lasts and what does not, and that knowledge is in every project we build.
As a Trex Pro Installer, we are trained and certified directly by Trex, the industry standard in composite decking. That certification means better warranty coverage for you, and it means we know exactly how to install their system so it performs the way it was engineered to.
We coordinate a vetted network of specialists, the right certified installer for every phase, all managed by us: design, structural engineering, permits, materials, build, and final walkthrough. One relationship. No gaps. Most decks we build are part of a larger deck and patio project, designed as one space from the start.
Decks that connect to patios, kitchens, and structures
We build every deck type and configuration: attached, freestanding, single-level, multi-level, and wraparound. Here is what each involves.
Composite decksTrex, TimberTech
Low-maintenance, fade-resistant, 25 to 30 year lifespan. Our most popular category. Trex Pro status means better warranty coverage on Trex products.
Pressure-treated wood decks
Cost-effective entry point. Requires periodic sealing. Best for a natural wood look and a client who plans to maintain it.
Cedar and hardwood decks
Premium natural material, rich color and grain, higher upfront cost with exceptional longevity when maintained.
Multi-level decks
Multiple platforms connected by stairs, ideal for sloped lots or walk-out basements. Adds significant usable area.
Wraparound decks
Extends along two or more sides of the home, maximizes sun exposure options, creates multiple outdoor zones.
Pool and patio-adjacent decks
Built to complement an existing or planned patio or pool surround. We handle both, so materials coordinate.
Features included on every deck: structural engineering to local code, full permit procurement (we pull every permit ourselves), ledger board waterproofing and flashing, composite or pressure-treated framing per spec, hidden fastener systems on composite decks, post anchoring per IRC standards, railing systems (cable, glass, composite, or wood), stair and landing construction, finish walkthrough with a care guide.
Composite decking done right: Trex and TimberTech certified
Trex is the category leader in composite decking: it consistently outperforms competitors on fade resistance, stain resistance, and warranty length. Certification matters as much as the product. Trex Pro Installers are factory-trained and must meet Trex's ongoing installation standards, which qualifies homeowners for enhanced warranty coverage.

We also work with TimberTech and pressure-treated or natural wood, whatever fits your project, budget, and style. During the planning phase, we walk you through options and show samples so you see and feel the difference before committing.
From your first call to your first morning coffee on the new boards.
See the full processWe meet at your home, walk the site, and talk through what you are imagining. You get a design concept, a real budget from comparable Hamilton County deck projects, and a full Master Plan before any commitment to build. The planning fee credits in full to your build.
We pull every permit ourselves, every municipality, every time. Timing varies by jurisdiction and season, we give you a specific window during planning. We handle HOA submissions if required.
Most deck builds take 2 to 4 weeks on site once permits are approved. You will have a project lead you can reach directly. We clean up at the end of every workday.
Before we leave, we walk every inch together. You get warranty documentation, a care guide, and a direct contact for questions after completion.
Built for Hamilton County homes.
Every project here was designed and built by our team on a real Hamilton County property.
What homeowners say about our decks work.
"Working with Ethan to get our ideas planned out and a design on paper and then picking out the materials was amazing. He even helped figure out and find options for specific railings that we wanted which turned out perfect all while staying on budget."
"Ethan was so patient and helpful with the deck design and was always willing and available to answer any questions. The project manager, Larry, showed up everyday to check on the work being done and always made time to check in with me to address any concerns."
What a custom deck costs in Hamilton County
Footprint, framing, decking line (Select through Transcend or TimberTech Advanced PVC), railing material, and add-ons like under-deck drainage or a screened porch all move the number, which is why we do not publish a figure that has nothing to do with your property.
Our paid planning process gives you a precise budget for your specific deck, built from real material costs and our own Hamilton County build history, before you commit to anything.

Deck building questions, answered
Deck cost in Hamilton County depends on footprint, decking line, railing material, and site conditions, so we do not publish a number that would have little to do with your actual project. Second-story installs, ceilings, and premium composite or PVC lines move the number up. Our paid planning process gives you a precise budget for your specific property before you commit.
