Moisture-Resistant Materials & Proper Drainage Design

Built Tough for the Clifton Climate

Clifton’s heavy rainfall and seasonal snow require decking materials and framing built to move water away from your home. We use capped composite boards, galvanized hardware, and sealed footings to ensure your deck stays dry, strong, and low-maintenance. For sloped yards, we plan for drainage paths and erosion prevention keeping your structure safe year after year.
