As the local experts in deck building, we handle all the details
Cantey Foundation Specialists offers only the best wood materials for your brand-new deck.
Siting
There are many considerations, including your home’s floor plan, orientation to the sun and prevailing wind, landscaping, and utility locations.
Size and shape
Decks are often thought of as distinct outdoor “rooms.” There may not be any walls, but your deck may need to accommodate a cooking area, a dining area, a spa area, and a lounging area.
Traffic flow
For decks upon which a variety of activities take place, it’s important to plan for traffic flow.
Railing styles
Railings are often the first thing you notice about a deck! Let us help you chose a type that suits your home and landscape – and that ensures the safety of your family and friends.
Privacy
We can offer solutions to homeowners who want privacy and have close-by neighbors.
Our Deck Building Process
Consultation
Every project begins with a one-on-one consultation to better understand how you want to use the space, what features matter most, and how the new deck should complement your home. We also review the existing site conditions, discuss layout preferences, and identify practical considerations that may affect the design and construction process.
01
Design & Planning
Once we understand your goals, we develop a custom deck design tailored to your home, lifestyle, and property layout. This step includes refining the size, shape, elevation, access points, and desired features so the finished plan is both functional and visually cohesive with the rest of the home.
02
Permitting
After the design is finalized, Cantey handles the permitting process from start to finish. We take care of the required paperwork, submissions, and approvals so the project can move forward in compliance with local building requirements without adding extra stress for the homeowner.
03
Construction
With approvals in place, our team begins construction using a professional, organized process designed to keep the job moving efficiently. Every part of the deck is built with attention to structural integrity, craftsmanship, and code compliance, resulting in a finished space that is durable, attractive, and built for long-term performance.
04
Final Walkthrough
Once construction is complete, we walk through the finished deck with you to review the details and confirm the project meets expectations. This final step gives you the opportunity to inspect the completed work, ask questions, and feel confident in the quality, fit, and function of your new outdoor living space.
05
