More Than Just Decking Near Water
Engineered Platforms for Pools & Spas
Water exposure demands smarter builds. Our pool and spa decks use rot-resistant framing, proper spacing for runoff, and materials that stay cool and grippy—even when wet. We account for splash zones, drainage slope, and loading pressure from spas or heavy traffic. Whether you’re surrounding an in-ground pool or elevating a freestanding hot tub, we build safe and durable platforms.
Smart Materials for Wet Environments
Slip-Resistant, Heat-Tolerant & Waterproof Decking
Not all deck boards are suited for splash zones. We install composites, capped PVC, and sealed pressure-treated lumber designed to resist moisture, mold, and UV. These materials offer excellent grip when wet, stay cooler underfoot, and require less maintenance over time. For hot tubs, we frame to support high weight loads and seal connection points to avoid water intrusion.

Every pool and spa layout is different—so we custom-design each deck to fit. Want a walk-around pool deck with built-in benches? Need a raised platform for your hot tub under a pergola? We’ve done it all. We create alcoves, stairs, and safety railings that look great and function even better. Our designs ensure easy access and secure footing on every side.

Permits, Setbacks & HOA Rules Covered
Pool decks and hot tub platforms often require zoning approval or HOA approval. We handle all the details—from setbacks and utility clearance to permits and structural plans. Our decks meet NC building code for railing height, structural span, and stair safety. Whether it’s freestanding or attached, we ensure your water-side deck is legal and built to last.
We offer optional upgrades like waterproof lighting, under-deck storage for pool gear, built-in towel hooks, privacy screens, and more. Want to add a pergola or bar next to your spa? Need steps that match your existing deck? We’ll make it happen. Our goal is to create a pool or spa surround that works for your space—and how you live.

Don't worry, we can help!
We begin with a site review and layout planning session—factoring in slope, drainage, and pool or spa placement. From there, we create a structural plan, finalize materials, and coordinate permits. Our crews work quickly and cleanly, framing with precision and finishing with care. You’ll get a deck that looks great and performs through every season.
Deck height and access tailored to pool or spa position
Non-slip material samples reviewed before install
Daily progress updates and post-install walkthrough
We’ve built pool decks near saltwater zones in Wilmington and hot tub platforms in Asheville’s shaded slopes. In the Piedmont, we work around clay soil and rainfall. Every project is designed to meet the unique weather, terrain, and zoning needs of your region. From spa privacy to pool access—we design and build what fits where you live.
These are the most common questions we hear from NC homeowners planning a pool or spa surround.
Yes. We design level platforms with reinforced framing, even on uneven or sloped lots.
Composites and capped PVC are great for slip resistance and low heat retention. We’ll help you choose.
Do I need permits for a pool deck?
Yes, especially for anything attached or above 30" high. We manage all permitting.
Can you match my existing deck?
Absolutely. We match materials, finishes, and elevations for seamless transitions.
