How We Approach a Deck Build

Framing, decking, railings and finish work for decks around Miami-Dade is what fills the schedule here, and most of that work started out in general carpentry before decks became the focus. Decks sit in an odd spot between construction and finish carpentry, since they have to carry weight like a structure but still look good like a piece of furniture, and that mix is what keeps this interesting.

If you're on this page, chances are a board's gone soft under your foot, a railing post has started to lean, or the whole thing just looks tired and gray after years in the sun. We check the framing first, because a deck that looks fine on top can still have rotted joists or rusted hangers underneath doing the actual work. We replace what's failed, upgrade the hardware to something that won't corrode in salt air, and reseal or resurface the rest so it looks like one deck instead of a patch job.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

You're covered if something goes wrong on site, and we can show you proof before we start. That matters more with decking than most trades, since it's structural work that has to hold weight for years.

Permits Handled

Miami-Dade has some of the strictest wind load rules in the country, and we build to them, not around them. We deal with the permit office directly so you don't have to learn the code yourself.

Clean Job Site

Deck framing throws off a lot of cut-offs, screws and packaging, and we bag it as we go. We sweep and check the yard with a magnet before we call a job finished, since a stray screw in bare feet is how decks get bad reviews.

Written Quotes

The quote breaks out material and labor so you can see where the money's going. If you want composite instead of wood, or a bigger footprint, we adjust the number in front of you, not after the fact.

On-Time Scheduling

Florida rain delays outdoor work more than people expect, and we build slack into the schedule instead of pretending it won't happen. If a storm pushes a pour or a stain job back a day, we call before you notice the truck isn't in the driveway.

Corrosion-Resistant Materials

Standard zinc screws and joist hangers rust out in a few years this close to the ocean, and a rusted hanger is how a deck fails quietly from underneath. We spec stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware on every frame, even though it costs more upfront.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

What homeowners want to know about who's doing the work.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck construction and repair make up the core of the work here, built on a background in general framing and finish carpentry before specializing in decks. Experience with Miami-Dade's wind load code and coastal material requirements comes from working within that code repeatedly, not just reading it.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
Deck framing, decking installation, and railing work are handled by an in-house crew rather than passed off to subcontractors. That keeps one team accountable for the whole job instead of splitting it across different companies.
Can I see photos of decks you've built before?
Photos of completed deck installations, repairs, and staining jobs can be shared on request, including examples close to the size or style being considered. Seeing similar work up close is a reasonable ask before committing to a design.
Why should I use a smaller deck builder instead of a large contracting company?
A smaller operation means direct contact with whoever's actually building the deck, rather than a project manager relaying messages from a separate crew. Decisions on things like board spacing or railing style get made on site instead of going through layers of approval.
Where is Coastal Deck Solutions based?
Coastal Deck Solutions is based in Miami Gardens, FL, and works throughout the surrounding Miami-Dade and Broward area. Being local means faster response for site visits and a working knowledge of local permit offices.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Booking lead time depends on the season, with spring and early fall typically busier for new deck builds than mid-summer. A repair or staining job can usually be scheduled faster than a full new build.
Do you clean up the site after the job is done?
Cut-off lumber, packaging, and hardware scraps get cleared from the yard before a job is called finished. A final walk-through, including a check for stray screws or nails near the work area, happens before the crew leaves for good.
What happens if something gets damaged on my property during the work?
Insurance coverage applies if property damage happens during a deck build or repair, and it's discussed upfront as part of being a licensed, insured contractor. Any damage gets addressed directly rather than left for the homeowner to chase down.
Will you finish a deck another contractor started or walked away from?
Picking up a partially built or abandoned deck project is possible, though it starts with an inspection of what's already in place. Framing done to the wrong spec or without proper permits sometimes has to be redone before continuing, and that gets explained before any new work starts.
How can I tell the deck work is being done correctly?
A permitted deck gets inspected by the county at key stages, footings and framing before the decking goes on, which is one built-in check on the work. Asking to see joist spacing, hanger hardware, and footing depth before boards go down is a reasonable request during the build.
