A deck can connect your home with the way you want to spend time outside. Watson & Sons Carpentry builds and replaces decks in Tallahassee, bringing the carpentry details together with your plans for the space.
Plan around how you will use it.
Start with what you want to do: share a meal, sit outside, make better use of a backyard or improve access from the house. The size, layout, stairs and railings should support those priorities. Photos of your current space and examples you like are a useful starting point.
Wood and composite options.
Our past work includes wood decks and composite decking. We can discuss the appearance and upkeep you are looking for, then define the proposed materials in your estimate. Brand, color, product availability and any manufacturer requirements should be confirmed for the specific project.
New construction or a full replacement.
For a new deck, the conversation begins with the property and your intended layout. For a replacement, we also need to consider the existing structure. A new surface alone is not a substitute for assessing the condition of what supports it.
Stairs and railings are part of the plan.
Access and edges deserve the same attention as the main deck. Tell us where you need to enter the yard, how the space connects to the house and what you would like to change from the existing layout. These details should be resolved in the project scope, not left as an afterthought.
From idea to an agreed scope.
- Discuss your location, priorities and initial ideas.
- Review the existing space and the work being considered.
- Confirm the proposed materials, layout, stairs and railings.
- Document the estimate and discuss timing and project-specific approvals.
Permits and applicable requirements depend on the actual project. They should be checked with the relevant authority before work begins.
