WATERFRONT DECKS
Sound-side, ICW, bulkhead-edge, and lake-side decks designed to frame your view — with cable rails and hardware specified to the water you build on.
THE CHALLENGE
A standard 36-inch picket rail on the sound is a wasted view. We design every waterfront deck around the sight lines first.
MATERIALS WE USE
WHAT'S INCLUDED
HOW WE BUILD WATERFRONT DECKS
We sit on your existing deck or footprint and sketch the view-first layout.
You see the layout before any framing goes in.
PT framing with hot-dipped hangers, decking in your chosen material, stainless fasteners.
Cable, glass, or composite rails — installed to keep the view open.
We walk every detail and hand you a maintenance schedule.
PRICING & TIMELINE
Free site evaluation. Most waterfront decks fall in the $25 – $70 per square foot range installed, depending on material and rail.

Mark and Family Crew replaced our 4 year old wood pergola with a Modern Owens Corning Composite Material one in just a few days. We could not be more happy about how it looks and how it was done. They do high quality work and cleanup as they go.
Worked with Mark on a set of docks off of Wrightsville intracoastal. They are very great to work with and do awesome work that looks great and lasts long! Highly recommend using them for any dock or coast side needs!
VERY, VERY happy customer! If there were ten stars to grade them, I would rate their product a 10! Superb workmanship on a complicated custom dock. Excellent customer service and responsiveness. Ethical business that exceeded every expectation.
OUR APPROACH
We sit at your eye-level sightline before drawing a single rail post. Every waterfront deck is designed so the railing system — cable, glass, or low-profile composite — preserves 100% of your water view from seated position.

FROM THE FOUNDER
Waterfront Decks done right is invisible — it just works through the next storm and the next ten tides. That's the standard.
