Certified Contracting Services Inc has been serving Westchester County homeowners who expect quality work done right. We understand that in Tarrytown, your outdoor space is an extension of your home’s character and your family’s lifestyle.
We’re not the cheapest option—and that’s intentional. You’re investing in fewer callbacks, proper permits, and materials that hold up to our New York weather. We know the local building requirements, work with the right suppliers, and stand behind our installations.
Our clients appreciate straightforward communication and realistic timelines. No overselling, no cutting corners, no wondering if we’ll show up when we say we will.
We start with an on-site consultation to understand your vision, space, and budget. No generic proposals—we discuss what actually works for your property and how you plan to use the space.
Next, we handle the design and permit process. You’ll see detailed plans before we break ground, and we manage all the paperwork with local authorities. No surprises about code requirements or additional fees.
Installation happens on schedule with our own crew. We protect your landscaping, clean up daily, and keep you informed throughout the process. Final inspection ensures everything meets both code requirements and your expectations before we consider the job complete.

In Tarrytown’s market, your deck needs to complement your home’s value and your lifestyle. We work with premium composite brands like Trex and TimberTech—materials that resist fading, scratching, and weather damage while requiring minimal maintenance.
Composite decking makes sense for busy professionals who want the look of wood without the annual staining and sealing. These materials are engineered for our climate, with warranties that back up their performance promises.
For clients who prefer natural wood, we source quality lumber and provide honest guidance about maintenance requirements. Whether you choose composite or wood, you’re getting materials that justify your investment and installation that ensures they perform as intended.
Most residential deck projects in Tarrytown take 5-10 business days from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. This includes time for permit approval, which we handle for you.
Weather can affect the timeline, especially during our New York winters. We schedule projects realistically and communicate any delays immediately. Rush jobs typically mean corners get cut, so we focus on doing it right rather than doing it fast.
Complex designs with multiple levels, built-in features, or challenging site conditions may take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline during the initial consultation based on your specific project requirements.
Composite decking costs more upfront but requires virtually no maintenance—no annual staining, sealing, or board replacement. For busy homeowners, this often makes financial sense within 3-5 years.
Wood decking offers natural beauty and lower initial cost but needs regular maintenance to prevent deterioration. In our climate, that means annual cleaning and staining, plus periodic board replacement.
Both options can enhance your property value when properly installed. Your choice depends on your budget, maintenance preferences, and aesthetic goals. We’ll walk through samples and help you understand the long-term costs of each option.
Yes, we manage the entire permit process with Westchester County and local authorities. This includes submitting plans, scheduling inspections, and ensuring code compliance throughout construction.
Permit requirements vary based on deck size, height, and proximity to property lines. We factor permit costs and timeline into your project quote so there are no surprises.
DIY permits often get rejected for technical issues that delay projects for weeks. Our experience with local requirements means faster approval and fewer complications during construction.
We primarily install Trex and TimberTech composite decking because both brands perform well in our New York climate and offer strong warranty coverage.
Trex Transcend and Lineage collections feature heat-mitigating technology that keeps boards cooler underfoot during summer months. TimberTech’s capped composite lines resist moisture, fading, and scratching while maintaining their appearance over time.
Both brands use significant recycled content, which appeals to environmentally conscious homeowners. We’ll show you samples and explain the specific benefits of each product line based on your priorities and budget.
Quality deck installations typically recover 70-80% of their cost in home value, according to remodeling industry data. In Tarrytown’s strong real estate market, well-designed outdoor spaces are particularly attractive to buyers.
The actual return depends on the deck’s size, materials, and how well it complements your home’s style. Custom features like built-in seating, lighting, or privacy elements often provide additional value beyond basic deck construction.
More importantly, a properly built deck enhances your daily enjoyment of your property. The financial return is secondary to creating a space where you actually want to spend time with family and friends.
Composite decking requires minimal maintenance compared to wood—typically just periodic cleaning with soap and water. No staining, sealing, or board replacement needed.
In our climate, you’ll want to clear leaves and debris regularly to prevent staining, especially during fall months. Snow removal should be done carefully with plastic shovels to avoid scratching the surface.
Annual power washing helps maintain appearance, but isn’t required for structural integrity like it is with wood decking. Most composite manufacturers provide specific care instructions that we’ll review with you after installation.
