Safe, Stylish, and Built for Water

Pool Deck & Hot Tub Surrounds in North Carolina

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.

  • Low-slip, barefoot-safe surfaces for wet areas

  • Framed to support spa weight and prevent water pooling

  • Deck boards spaced and sealed for drainage and runoff

Designed to Match Your Outdoor Space

Wraparound Decks, Platforms & Spa Alcoves

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

We Build to Code and Handle the Details

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.

Lighting, Storage & Privacy Options

Make It More Than Just a Deck

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.

What to Expect From Your Pool or Spa Deck Build

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
