(267) 487-3426Why Choose Custom Deck Design?
Every home is different, and so is every family's vision for their outdoor space. A custom-designed deck isn't just about following a template—it's about creating something that fits your property, your lifestyle, and your budget perfectly. Whether you want a multi-level entertainment space, a quiet reading nook with built-in seating, or a functional deck that works around existing trees and landscaping, custom design makes it possible.
We've been building custom decks in Levittown and surrounding areas for years, and we know that the best outdoor spaces are those designed with intention. Our design process starts with understanding how you want to use your deck—entertaining large groups, family dinners, relaxing alone, or all of the above. Then we work with your property's unique characteristics to create a design that maximizes your space and enhances your home's value.
Custom doesn't have to mean expensive. While unlimited budgets allow for elaborate features, we excel at creating beautiful, functional designs at various price points. We'll discuss your priorities and find creative solutions that give you the deck you want within your budget. The goal is a space you'll love using for decades to come.
Our Custom Deck Design Process
Creating a custom deck is a collaborative process. Here's how we work with you from first conversation to final inspection:
1. Initial Consultation
We start with a conversation about your vision, needs, and budget. We'll ask about how you plan to use the deck, what features matter most to you, and any concerns you have about your property. This is also when we discuss timeline expectations and answer your questions about materials, maintenance, and costs.
2. Site Visit & Assessment
We visit your property to take measurements, assess site conditions, and understand opportunities and challenges. We'll look at your home's architecture, existing landscaping, sun exposure, views, and access points. We also check for utilities, drainage issues, and local building code requirements that will affect your design.
3. Design & Planning
Using information from our consultation and site visit, we create a custom design for your deck. This includes layout, dimensions, material recommendations, and special features. We provide you with drawings and a detailed quote so you know exactly what you're getting and what it will cost. We'll revise the design based on your feedback until it's exactly what you want.
4. Permits & Preparation
Once you approve the design, we handle permit applications and coordinate with your local building department. We also order materials and schedule your project. This phase typically takes one to two weeks, depending on permit processing times.
5. Construction
Our experienced crew builds your deck according to the approved plans. We keep your property clean, work efficiently, and stay in communication throughout construction. Most custom decks take one to three weeks to complete, depending on size and complexity.
6. Final Inspection & Walkthrough
After construction, we conduct a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets your expectations. We arrange for building department inspection if required. We also provide maintenance information so you know how to care for your new deck properly.
