Lake Norman Deck Builder

Custom Deck Construction

We build custom decks for Lake Norman homeowners in every material, size, and configuration. Composite decking from Trex and TimberTech dominates the lakefront market for good reason -- it resists moisture, UV damage, mold, and fading without requiring the annual maintenance cycle that wood demands. For homeowners who prefer natural wood, we build with pressure-treated pine, cedar, and tropical hardwoods, applying the ventilation, drainage, and fastening techniques that help wood perform well in the lake climate.

Deck designs around Lake Norman are as varied as the properties themselves. Waterfront homes often call for elevated multi-level decks that step down toward the water, with open railing systems that maximize views. Inland homes in established neighborhoods typically benefit from single-level or two-level decks with integrated seating, lighting, and cooking areas. We design each project around the specific property and the homeowner's priorities.

Dock Construction

Lake Norman dock construction is a specialized discipline that requires knowledge of Duke Energy's shoreline management regulations, county-specific building codes, fluctuating lake levels, and the structural requirements of building over water. We build fixed docks, floating docks, and combination systems across all four counties that border the lake -- Mecklenburg, Iredell, Catawba, and Lincoln.

Standard dock features include composite decking surfaces, LED lighting, heavy-duty cleats and bumpers, and slip-resistant walking surfaces. Options include boat lifts for vessels of all sizes, personal watercraft platforms, swim platforms with ladders, covered dock roofs, and integrated electrical for boat charging and entertainment. Every dock is designed for your specific shoreline conditions, including water depth, bottom composition, wave exposure, and orientation.

Screen Porches

A screen porch is arguably the single best outdoor investment for a Lake Norman home. It provides a bug-free, rain-sheltered outdoor room that you will use nine or ten months out of the year. We build screen porches with wood or aluminum framing, standard and fine-mesh screening options, and EZE Breeze vinyl enclosures for homeowners who want the flexibility of a three-season room.

For lakefront homes, a screen porch oriented toward the water becomes the most-used room in the house, combining the comfort of being indoors with the experience of being outside.

Pergolas and Shade Structures

Pergolas define outdoor spaces and provide filtered shade without closing off the sky. They work over decks, patios, pool areas, and outdoor kitchens, and are available in cedar, treated lumber, and aluminum. Motorized louvered roof systems offer the ultimate in adjustable shade, letting you open the louvers for sun or close them for shade and rain protection.

Outdoor Kitchens

Lake Norman entertaining centers around food, water, and gathering outdoors. An outdoor kitchen puts the cooking where the action is, eliminating the back-and-forth between the indoor kitchen and the grill. We build custom outdoor kitchen islands and full cooking stations with built-in grills, smokers, side burners, refrigerators, sinks, and generous counter space, finished in natural stone, manufactured stone, brick, or stucco.
