You’re not just getting a deck. You’re getting a space where your family actually wants to spend time.
A properly built deck changes how you use your home. Morning coffee becomes more peaceful. Weekend barbecues become easier to host. Your property value increases, and you finally have that outdoor space you’ve been picturing.
The difference between a good deck and a great one comes down to the details. Materials that handle Westchester County’s weather. Proper drainage so you don’t deal with water damage. Construction that meets local codes the first time, not after a failed inspection.
Certified Contracting Services Inc has been building decks for Rye Brook homeowners who expect quality work done right. We understand the local building requirements, weather challenges, and what it takes to create outdoor spaces that last.
You won’t find us cutting corners or using materials that won’t hold up to New York winters. We handle the permits, work with local inspectors, and build decks that add real value to your property.
When you work with contractors who live and work in your area, you get people who care about their reputation in the community. That means showing up when we say we will, communicating clearly throughout the project, and standing behind our work.
First, we come to your property to discuss your vision and assess the space. We’ll talk about materials, design options, and what works best for your specific situation and budget.
Next, we handle the design and permitting process. You’ll see exactly what your deck will look like, and we’ll take care of all the paperwork with local authorities so you don’t have to navigate that process yourself.
Then we build your deck using quality materials and proven construction methods. We keep the work area clean, communicate with you about progress, and make sure everything meets both your expectations and local building codes. When we’re finished, you’ll have a deck that’s ready to use and built to last for years.

Our deck building services include everything from initial design consultation to final inspection. We work with composite, pressure-treated lumber, and premium hardwood materials depending on your preferences and budget.
In Rye Brook, we see a lot of homeowners who want low-maintenance options that can handle the humidity and temperature swings we get in Westchester County. Composite decking has become popular because it looks great and doesn’t require annual staining or sealing.
We also handle deck restoration for homeowners who have existing structures that need updating. Sometimes that means replacing boards, refinishing surfaces, or adding safety features to bring an older deck up to current standards. Each project is different, but the goal is always the same: a safe, attractive outdoor space you’ll actually use.
Deck costs in Rye Brook typically range from $25-60 per square foot depending on materials and complexity. A basic 12×16 pressure-treated deck might cost $8,000-12,000, while a larger composite deck with custom features can run $15,000-30,000 or more.
The biggest cost factors are material choice, deck size, and design complexity. Composite materials cost more upfront but require less maintenance over time. Multi-level decks, built-in seating, and custom railings add to the total investment.
We provide detailed estimates that break down material and labor costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Most decks in Rye Brook require a building permit, especially if they’re attached to your house or over 30 inches high. The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks and involves submitting construction plans and getting approval from the local building department.
We handle the entire permit process for our clients. This includes creating the necessary drawings, submitting applications, and coordinating with inspectors during construction. You don’t need to worry about navigating the bureaucracy or making sure everything meets code requirements.
Trying to skip permits might seem like a shortcut, but it can cause major problems when you sell your home or file an insurance claim. We make sure everything is done legally and properly from the start.
Most residential decks take 3-7 days to complete once we start construction. Simple rectangular decks go faster, while custom designs with multiple levels or built-in features take longer.
The timeline also depends on weather and permit approval. We can’t pour footings in frozen ground, and we won’t install decking in heavy rain. Spring and summer are the busiest seasons, so scheduling during off-peak times can sometimes speed up the process.
We give you realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. Most delays are weather-related and beyond anyone’s control, but we plan for contingencies so your project stays on track.
For Westchester County’s climate, composite decking and pressure-treated lumber are the most popular choices. Composite handles temperature swings and moisture better than natural wood, but costs more initially. Pressure-treated lumber is more affordable but requires regular maintenance.
Cedar and redwood are beautiful options but need more upkeep in our humid summers and cold winters. They’ll last if you’re willing to stain and seal them regularly, but many homeowners prefer low-maintenance alternatives.
We help you choose materials based on your budget, maintenance preferences, and how you plan to use the space. There’s no single “best” option – just what works best for your specific situation and priorities.
Yes, we restore and repair existing decks throughout Rye Brook and Westchester County. Common issues include loose railings, rotting boards, structural problems, and surfaces that need refinishing.
Sometimes repair makes sense, other times replacement is more cost-effective. We assess the deck’s overall condition and give you honest recommendations. If the frame is solid but the decking is worn, we might suggest new boards and railings. If there are structural issues, replacement might be the better investment.
We also update older decks to meet current safety codes. This might involve adding proper railings, improving stairs, or reinforcing connections to the house. Safety always comes first in our recommendations.
Maintenance depends on your decking material. Composite decks need occasional cleaning with soap and water, plus clearing debris from between boards. Pressure-treated lumber requires annual cleaning and staining or sealing every 2-3 years.
For all deck types, keep gutters clean so water doesn’t overflow onto the deck, trim vegetation so air circulates underneath, and check fasteners annually for looseness. Small maintenance steps prevent bigger problems later.
We provide specific care instructions for your deck material and can recommend local suppliers for stains, sealers, and cleaning products. Many of our clients schedule annual maintenance visits to keep their decks looking and performing their best.
