Beautifully Crafted, Built to Last

Custom Deck Design & Construction in North Carolina

Design-Driven Decks Built for North Carolina Homes

Tailored Outdoor Spaces Start With a Custom Plan

Custom deck design isn't just about aesthetics—it's about building a structure that fits your property, supports your needs, and holds up to North Carolina's climate. Our team starts with a one-on-one consultation to understand how you use your outdoor space. From there, we create precise design plans using durable materials like pressure-treated wood, cedar, and top-grade composite boards. We accommodate slopes, integrate existing landscaping, and ensure all builds meet or exceed code. Whether you’re in the Piedmont or on the coast, we craft decks to suit your zone.

What Sets Our Custom Decks Apart

Precision Planning, Material Expertise, Built-In Longevity

Every deck starts with a clear plan, not guesswork. At Alliance Deck Builders of North Carolina, we bring structural engineering knowledge and local code familiarity to every design. Whether you're building with cedar, composite, or pressure-treated lumber, our team selects the right materials based on use, sun exposure, and long-term maintenance expectations. Our construction process ensures tight frame spacing, hidden fasteners where appropriate, and proper drainage—all factors that extend your deck’s life and safety.

Material Options to Match Your Style and Maintenance Goals

Composite, Cedar, and Pressure-Treated Options

We design decks using materials that match your aesthetic and lifestyle—without sacrificing performance. Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon) offers low-maintenance beauty with excellent weather resistance. Cedar provides natural warmth with insect resistance and a classic feel. For homeowners wanting budget-conscious strength, pressure-treated pine remains a reliable option. Our team will walk you through pros, cons, lifespan, and care requirements so your deck looks great year after year—without surprise upkeep.

North Carolina Climate Matters

Built for Humidity, Rainfall, and Seasonal Shifts

We don’t build decks for brochures—we build them for real North Carolina conditions. From the salty air near Wilmington to the dense humidity in Charlotte summers, our construction techniques are tuned to resist rot, warping, and water damage. Flashing is properly installed. Posts are anchored deep and sealed. Hardware is galvanized or stainless to resist corrosion. Your new deck will not only look great—it will hold up where it counts.

Design Flexibility That Fits Any Home

From Wraparounds to Modern Floating Platforms

We specialize in making outdoor living extensions feel like part of the original home. Whether you’re adding a classic wraparound deck in Cary, a second-story build in Asheville, or a sleek modern platform in Durham, we work with your home’s style and terrain. Multi-level builds, deck-to-patio transitions, built-in planters, or custom staircases—our team designs it all. We ensure every design looks intentional and functions perfectly.
