Your deck becomes the center of summer barbecues, quiet morning coffee breaks, and evening conversations that stretch past sunset. You’re not just adding square footage—you’re creating the outdoor room your family actually uses.
A well-built deck in Brewster can boost your home’s value by thousands while giving you that extra space you’ve been craving. No more crowded indoor gatherings when the weather’s perfect for being outside.
The right deck builder makes this vision reality without the headaches, delays, or surprise costs that turn dream projects into stress.
We’ve been serving Brewster and Putnam County homeowners who want their projects done right. We’re the contractors who return your calls, show up when scheduled, and finish what we start.
We don’t juggle dozens of jobs or disappear for weeks at a time. We take on projects we can complete properly, using materials designed for New York’s freeze-thaw cycles and summer humidity.
Our reputation in Brewster comes from homeowners who recommend us to their neighbors—not from being the cheapest bid or flashy marketing.
We start with a consultation at your Brewster home to understand what you want and assess your space. You get a clear timeline and upfront pricing—no vague estimates or “we’ll figure it out as we go” numbers.
Once you approve the design, we handle permits and building code requirements for Putnam County. You don’t navigate that paperwork maze or wonder if everything’s compliant.
Construction begins with proper foundation work and follows through to final details like railings and finishing touches. We clean up daily and keep you updated on progress—not radio silent until we’re done.

Every deck we build in Brewster uses materials selected for New York’s weather extremes. Pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, or cedar—we recommend what works best for your budget and maintenance preferences.
We handle ground-level decks, elevated decks, and multi-level designs that work with your home’s existing layout. Railings, stairs, and structural elements all meet local building codes without cutting corners.
Brewster homeowners also choose us for deck restoration. Sometimes your existing deck just needs proper repairs, refinishing, or structural updates to give you years more use at a fraction of replacement cost.
Most residential decks in Brewster take 3-7 days to complete, depending on size and complexity. Weather can extend this during winter months, but we give you realistic expectations upfront.
Simple ground-level decks often finish in 3-4 days. Elevated decks with stairs and railings typically take 5-7 days. Multi-level or custom designs may require additional time.
We don’t rush through jobs to start the next one. Your deck gets completed properly before we move on, which means you get the quality you’re paying for.
Putnam County requires building permits for most deck construction, especially elevated decks and those attached to your home. We handle the permit application process as part of our service.
The permit ensures your deck meets structural requirements, setback rules, and safety codes. This protects you from potential issues when you sell your home or file insurance claims.
Permit approval typically takes 1-2 weeks in Brewster. We factor this timeline into your project schedule so construction begins as soon as permits are approved.
Pressure-treated lumber remains the most cost-effective option for Brewster’s climate. It handles freeze-thaw cycles well and lasts 15-20 years with proper maintenance.
Composite decking costs more upfront but requires minimal maintenance and won’t warp, crack, or splinter. It’s ideal if you want to minimize annual staining and sealing.
Cedar offers natural beauty and weather resistance but requires regular maintenance to prevent graying. We recommend the best option based on your budget, maintenance preferences, and how you plan to use the deck.
Deck costs in Brewster typically range from $25-45 per square foot, depending on materials, design complexity, and site conditions. A basic 12×16 pressure-treated deck starts around $4,800-6,400.
Composite decking increases costs to $35-55 per square foot. Multi-level designs, custom railings, or difficult access add to the base price.
We provide detailed written estimates after assessing your specific project. No surprise charges or “additional costs we discovered” after work begins.
Yes, we restore and repair existing decks throughout Brewster and Putnam County. Sometimes a deck just needs new boards, railing repairs, or structural reinforcement rather than complete replacement.
We assess your current deck’s condition and recommend whether restoration makes financial sense. If the foundation and framing are solid, restoration gives you years more use at a fraction of replacement cost.
Restoration services include board replacement, railing updates, structural repairs, and refinishing. We’re honest about whether restoration is worth it or if replacement makes more sense.
Yes, Certified Contracting Services Inc is fully licensed and insured for construction work in Brewster and throughout Putnam County. Our insurance covers both liability and workers’ compensation.
You receive copies of our license and insurance certificates before work begins. This protects you from liability if accidents occur and ensures we meet New York’s contractor requirements.
We maintain current licensing and insurance because it’s the right way to do business. You shouldn’t worry about liability issues when improving your home.
