Ready to stop avoiding your backyard? We design and build custom decks in Lauderdale Lakes that hold up through South Florida summers - fully permitted and inspected before you ever step on them.

Custom deck design and build in Lauderdale Lakes means planning and constructing a deck from scratch around your specific yard, lifestyle, and home - most projects take three to seven days to build once the Broward County permit is approved. Unlike prefab kits, every dimension, material choice, and railing detail is decided for your property. We pull all permits, handle HOA submissions if needed, and coordinate the final county inspection so the structure is certified safe before your family uses it.
South Florida homeowners often start planning a deck when they realize their backyard sits empty most of the year. If you are also considering adding a pool enclosure or outdoor living area, a composite deck installation is one of the most popular ways to tie those spaces together with a low-maintenance surface that lasts.
For homeowners who want a truly personalized outdoor space at multiple elevations, we also build multi-level decks that can incorporate seating areas, stairs, and transitions to pool surrounds or garden spaces.
If your backyard has no shaded, level place to relax or entertain, that is the clearest sign a deck would change how you live at home. In Lauderdale Lakes, where outdoor living is possible most of the year, a well-placed deck effectively adds a whole room to your house.
Soft or springy boards are a sign the wood underneath has started to rot - a direct result of South Florida's year-round moisture and humidity. This is not cosmetic. The structure may no longer be safe, and patching individual boards usually does not fix the underlying problem.
In Lauderdale Lakes' humid climate, mold and algae grow fast on outdoor surfaces that are not properly sealed. Widespread dark patches or slippery green growth mean the material has absorbed too much moisture. Depending on how deep it goes, a full replacement may make more sense than repeated cleaning.
Unpermitted decks are more common than most homeowners realize, and they create real problems when you try to sell your home or make an insurance claim. If you inherited a deck with no paperwork, having it assessed - and potentially brought up to current standards - is worth doing before something goes wrong.
Every custom deck project starts with a design conversation. We look at your yard, talk through how you plan to use the space, and work through the details together - size, shape, material, railing style, stair placement, and any built-in features like seating or lighting. Most homeowners choose between composite and pressure-treated wood, and we will walk you through the real differences in cost, maintenance, and longevity in a South Florida climate. If you want the look of natural wood without the upkeep, our composite deck installation service covers the full range of composite brands and finishes.
Once the design is set, we handle the Broward County permit application and any HOA submissions on your behalf. Construction typically runs three to seven days. After the deck is built, a county inspector reviews the work - that inspection is your independent confirmation that the structure is safe. For projects that call for multiple outdoor spaces or varying ground elevations, our multi-level deck builds connect everything into one cohesive space.
Best for homeowners who want minimal maintenance and long-term durability in South Florida's humid climate.
A cost-effective option for homeowners comfortable with periodic sealing and maintenance every one to three years.
Ideal for yards with changes in elevation or homeowners who want distinct outdoor zones for different uses.
Required by code for decks 30 inches or more above grade, and a major factor in the overall look of the finished deck.
Lauderdale Lakes sits in Broward County, which is classified as a high-velocity hurricane wind zone under Florida's statewide building code. That means every deck built here must be anchored and framed to withstand serious wind loads - not just what you would find in a typical residential build in other parts of the country. If a contractor does not account for this from the start, the deck will fail inspection. Beyond wind, the combination of heat, humidity averaging over 70%, and heavy afternoon rain from May through October means the materials and drainage approach you choose will directly determine how long your deck holds up.
We serve homeowners across Lauderdale Lakes and Tamarac and understand the flat, low-lying terrain in this part of Broward. Drainage is a real consideration during design - water that pools under a deck in this climate accelerates rot and causes structural problems faster than most homeowners expect.
We respond within 1 business day. A quick conversation helps us understand your yard size, how you plan to use the space, and whether you have an HOA - so we come to your property prepared.
We visit your home to measure the space, check drainage, and walk through design options. Size, shape, materials, railing style, and any extras like built-in seating are all decided here. No obligation to commit.
We submit the Broward County permit application on your behalf. If your community has an HOA, we coordinate that submission too. Permit approval in Broward typically takes one to three weeks.
Once the permit is approved, most residential deck builds take three to seven days. A county inspector reviews the finished work and signs off. We do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything is right.
We respond within 1 business day - no obligation, no pressure. After you submit, someone from our office will call to schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for you.
(754) 812-0107We handle the full Broward County permit process on every job - no exceptions. That means the deck gets inspected and certified before you use it, and your homeowner's insurance will cover it if something ever goes wrong.
Broward County is a high-velocity hurricane wind zone, and every deck we build meets those structural requirements. The footings, framing connections, and ledger attachment are all designed and inspected to that standard - not an afterthought.
We have been working in Lauderdale Lakes and the surrounding Broward County communities since 2018. We know the flat lots, the drainage patterns, the local HOAs, and the Broward County permitting office - details that make a real difference on your project.
You get a written, itemized estimate that covers materials, labor, and permit fees before a single board is cut. The number you approve is the number you pay. We do not add surprise charges mid-project. Verify any Florida contractor's license at myfloridalicense.com
Every one of these details adds up to a deck built correctly the first time - so you are relaxing on it five years from now instead of replacing boards. Call us at (754) 812-0107 or submit a request online to get started.
