Custom Deck Builds
Wake County, NC
A well-designed deck doesn't just add square footage — it changes how you live in your home. Southpaw & Company designs and builds custom decks for Wake County homeowners who want something more than a basic platform with a railing. We build decks that are architecturally integrated with your home, built to premium standards, and designed to last decades with minimal maintenance.
We work with a full range of framing and decking materials — from advanced wood-free composite framing by Owens Corning to low-maintenance Surestone decking by Deckorators or PVC by Wolf . We help you choose the right material for your lifestyle, budget, and aesthetic. Our deck builds include various custom elements like, built-in seating, planters, low-voltage lighting, skirting, and multi-level layouts that follow the natural grade of your yard.
What sets Southpaw apart is our process. Every deck project begins by completing our simple intake form. Once complete you’re automatically provided access to a private JobTread client portal. Within your portal we’re able to share files, messages, and process payments. Once your information has been provided we will schedule an in-person consultation to gather site information and listen to your needs.
In our office we compile your site visit information and verify the project can proceed by evaluating your county and property restrictions. Through your JobTread client portal you’re provided with a report that summarizes our findings and provides you with an approximate build cost.
Our custom deck builds generally require additional refinement to ensure all elements are captured. Our more custom projects leverage photorealistic 3D renderings showing you exactly what your finished deck will look like — the decking color, railing type, stair placement, and how it connects to your home. Again, you’re provided a report with a more refined project cost.
Custom projects require engineering ollowing engineering we assembled your final build package, which includes your build and site plans, a formal estimate and build contract. You’re able to view, comment, and approve your project all from your JobTread client portal. The power of our process is that you approve the design before we ever start building. No surprises, no scope creep, just a finished product that matches what you envisioned.
We build single-level decks, multi-level decks, wrap-around decks, rooftop decks, and elevated decks over slopes or existing structures. We also integrate decks seamlessly into larger outdoor living projects that include screen porches, outdoor kitchens, patios, and landscape packages — giving you a cohesive, fully designed outdoor space rather than a patchwork of separate additions.
