Deck Builders Wilmington NC
New deck construction, repair, and replacement built for coastal North Carolina. Composite and pressure-treated decking, code-compliant framing, and flashed ledger connections installed by a veteran-led construction crew. Free consultation, no obligation.
Deck Building Options
New builds, repairs, and material choices, each handled as its own scope of work.
New Deck Construction
Custom-designed decks built from the footings up, sized and laid out for your yard, pool, or outdoor living space.
Deck Repair & Replacement
Ledger, framing, and board repairs when a deck has started to fail, or a full tear-off and rebuild when repair no longer makes sense.
Composite Decking
Low-maintenance, fade-resistant boards built to handle Wilmington's humidity, salt air, and heavy summer rain with little upkeep.
Pressure-Treated Wood
A budget-friendly classic, built on a structure engineered to last, with the right fasteners and sealing for our coastal climate.
Covered & Screened Decks
Multi-level, covered, or screened-in decks that extend usable outdoor living space through the rainy season and bug months.
Structural Integrity
Flashed ledgers, proper footings, and code-compliant railings on every build, the part that determines whether a deck is safe.
Why Homeowners Choose Us for Deck Work
Wilmington's humidity, salt air, and heavy summer rain are hard on a deck. We build and repair with materials rated for that environment, coated or stainless fasteners, properly flashed ledger connections, and decking that is chosen for how it holds up here, not just how it looks on day one. Composite handles moisture and fading with almost no maintenance; pressure-treated wood, sealed and fastened correctly, is a durable, budget-friendly option for the same coastal conditions.
We are a full construction company, not a deck-only crew, so the structural and framing side of the job (footings, load paths, ledger attachment to the house) is handled with the same expertise we bring to roofing and siding. That matters most on repairs, where a deck that looks fine on the surface can be hiding a failing ledger or undersized footing. When a deck project overlaps with roofing or siding work on the same home, we coordinate both under one crew and one schedule.
Our Process
Four steps from first call to finished work. No surprises, no hidden costs.
Design and Permit
We design the deck to your space and handle code and permit requirements.
Footings and Frame
Proper footings, a flashed and bolted ledger, and a square, level frame.
Decking and Rail
Your chosen decking with code-compliant railings and clean detailing.
Final Inspection
We confirm structure, fasteners, and finish, then walk it with you.

They are very accomidating and always give us the best quality work. We will definitely use them again."
Featured Project: Custom Pool Deck, Porters Neck
Featured Project: Custom Pool Deck built for Dale Brodeur Jr. in Wilmington, NC (see his review below).
This custom pool and outdoor living deck in Porters Neck showcases the craftsmanship, coordination, and attention to detail Howard Roofing & Construction brings to every deck building project in Wilmington NC and surrounding communities.
The project features a pressure-treated framed structure with composite decking and steel wire railing systems, designed to wrap seamlessly around a custom-built pool and hot tub. The pool and hot tub were constructed by the homeowner and his pool construction company, with our deck design carefully coordinated to integrate around the finished pool layout.
Deck Styles and Outdoor Living Options
These are the deck and porch styles we build most across Wilmington and coastal North Carolina, so you can picture what fits your home and yard.
Ground-Level Decks
Simple decks close to grade for grilling and gathering, with an easy step-out from the house.
Elevated and Multi-Level Decks
For sloped yards, second-story access or better views, engineered for load, safe stairs and railings.
Pool Decks and Hot Tubs
Built around pools, hot tubs and patios, planned for drainage, safe transitions and materials that handle sun and water.
Porches, Wraparounds and Balconies
Entry porches to wraparounds, tied into the rooflines, trim and architecture of the house.
Rooftop Decks
Framed on top of a roof structure, with railings and stairs, like the rooftop decks we have built on homes and barns.
Repairs and Redecking
Loose boards, soft spots, stairs, railings, flashing and framing fixed when the structure is still sound.
Decking Materials and Systems
The right material depends on budget, maintenance and how close you are to the water. We compare them with you.
Pressure-Treated Wood
The most affordable option and the standard for framing. With sealing and upkeep it gives years of reliable service.
Composite and PVC
Resists rot, fading and moisture with minimal upkeep, in many colors and textures.
Duxxbak Waterproof Decking
Creates a watertight surface on elevated decks, so the space underneath stays dry for storage, a patio or living space.
The Porters Neck Pool Deck Scope
The Porters Neck pool deck used a pressure-treated frame with composite decking and steel wire railings, designed to wrap around a custom pool and hot tub that the homeowner's pool company built. Our design was coordinated around the finished pool layout.
The scope included re-decking an existing elevated balcony and screen room, custom side decks and a lower pool deck with several sets of stairs, and integration with a stone retaining wall to handle the grade change. The whole project was completed in just under two weeks. See the pool deck project, and more decks in Castle Hayne and Sneads Ferry.
Deck Building Cost and Timeline in Wilmington
A deck is one of the most cost-effective ways to add outdoor living space. Price depends on size, height, materials, railings and custom features: ground-level decks start lower, while elevated, multi-level and pool-integrated builds need a bigger investment. You get clear pricing after a free consultation.
Smaller decks can be finished in one to two days. Larger or more complex projects, such as pool decks or multi-level designs, typically take one to two weeks.
The free consultation covers your yard layout, elevation and drainage, deck size, height and use, material choices, any pool, hot tub or porch tie-in, railing styles, stairs and access, and permits. Decks this close to the coast are built with corrosion-resistant hardware and pressure-treated framing. Payment plans are on our financing page.
