How much does a deck cost?
Deck cost depends on size, height, materials, layout, stairs and railings, and site conditions such as a sloped yard or hard clay soil. Composite boards cost more upfront than pressure treated wood but need less upkeep over the years. A free estimate gives you a clear scope for your own yard. Learn what goes into deck installation in Winston-Salem before you plan your budget.
Get a free estimateComposite vs wood deck: which is better?
Neither is right for every yard. Pressure treated wood costs less upfront but needs regular cleaning, staining and sealing to hold off rot in humid Piedmont summers. Composite boards from Trex, TimberTech or Armadillo cost more at first but resist moisture, fading and splinters with simple cleaning. Compare the options for composite decking in Winston-Salem to see which fits your plans.
Get a free estimateDo I need a permit for a deck?
In most cases, yes. North Carolina's residential code calls for a building permit and inspections on most new decks. Which office issues the permit depends on where you live, since some Triad towns and counties run their own inspections departments. Ask about the requirements for your address during a free estimate with a custom deck builder in Winston-Salem.
Get a free estimateShould I repair my old deck or replace it?
It depends on the frame. Loose or worn boards can often be replaced, but soft or rotted joists, failing posts and a deck that sags or sways point to a deeper problem. When the structure underneath is no longer sound, a full rebuild is usually the safer choice. Learn the warning signs on our deck replacement in Winston-Salem service.

Remodeling
Home Additions and Interior Remodeling
How long does a home addition take?
The timeline depends on the size of the addition, the foundation it needs, the design choices involved and how long permits and inspections take in your town. A small bedroom addition moves faster than a second story. The team lays out the steps and a realistic schedule during planning, so you know what to expect before work begins. See how a home addition in Winston-Salem comes together.

Home remodeling usually focuses on one room or area, such as a living room or basement. Whole home remodeling updates most or all of a house at once, often an older home that needs new layouts, finishes and systems throughout. Read about home remodeling in Winston-Salem for single spaces, or a whole house renovation for a full update.
Get a free estimateDo you remodel kitchens and bathrooms?
Yes. Kitchens and bathrooms are two of the most common rooms homeowners ask to update. Kitchen work can include a new layout, cabinets and countertops, while bathroom work can include a walk-in shower or a new primary bath.

Get a free estimateDo you install flooring on its own?
Yes. Flooring installation can be a project by itself or part of a kitchen, bathroom or whole home remodel. New floors change how a room looks and feels, and the right material depends on how the space is used.
