Custom Decks in St. Augustine & Northeast Florida
Hardwood and composite decks built for Florida's climate.
About Our Custom Decks Services
A deck is only as good as its construction and materials. In Florida, that means accounting for humidity, UV exposure, termites, and occasional hurricane-force winds. Wilson & Co builds custom decks using premium hardwoods and composite materials specifically chosen for Northeast Florida's conditions. Every deck we build meets current Florida building code for wind uplift and structural load, with proper flashing, fastening, and ventilation underneath to prevent rot and pest damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What decking material is best for Florida?
Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech) handles Florida's humidity and UV best with minimal maintenance. Tropical hardwoods like Ipe are beautiful but require annual oiling.
How much does a custom deck cost?
Pressure-treated wood decks start around $8,000-$15,000. Composite decks typically run $15,000-$35,000. Premium hardwood decks can exceed $40,000.
How long does a deck last in Florida?
Composite decks last 25-50 years. Properly maintained hardwood decks last 20-30 years. Pressure-treated pine typically lasts 10-15 years with regular staining.
Do I need a permit for a deck in Florida?
Yes. Decks over 30 inches above grade or attached to the house require permits in most Florida jurisdictions. We handle all permitting.
