For over 20 years, Deck By Deck has combined structural excavation, positive yard drainage, and heavy-timber carpentry so every outdoor build starts on solid ground.
We will come walk the property with you and put together a clear written estimate.
Since founding Deck By Deck in 2004, owner Vance “Van” Moore has kept the business rooted in one simple rule: build every deck, porch, pier, and bridge the way you would build it at your own home. When you call us for an estimate, you are not meeting a commissioned salesperson who hands your job off to a rotating subcontractor crew.
Van Moore and the Deck By Deck crew are on your job site every day from the first shovel of red clay to the final coat of stain. Because we saw early on how often sloped yards and poor drainage undermined outdoor structures, we invested in our own excavation, grading, and culvert pipe equipment so we can prepare the earth, pour deep footings, and frame the timber as one accountable team.
Whether we are replacing a driveway culvert, framing a two-story composite deck in Raleigh, or building an octagonal pier gazebo on Lake Gaston, our standards never change.
Timber lasts decades longer when water is not pooling around the posts. We grade sloped lots, bury gutter downspouts in rigid PVC pipe, install French drains, and pour deep concrete footings into undisturbed subsoil before framing begins.
We frame with #1 grade southern yellow pine, notch and thru-bolt our carry beams to 6x6 posts, flash every house ledger board with metal and membrane flashing, and space joists tightly so floors never bounce underfoot.
We do not tear up five backyards at once and disappear for weeks. When our trailer pulls onto your property, your project has our crew’s full focus until the final walkthrough.
When Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, Van Moore and our crew loaded trailers with tools, equipment, and building supplies to help mountain families clear roads and rebuild safe access. Supporting local schools, youth programs, and neighbors in need is part of who we are.
Every photo on our website shows real work built by our own hands.
Every build follows the same disciplined sequence. Nothing gets covered up until the structure underneath is square, level, and anchored to last.
★★★★★“Deck by Deck has done multiple projects for us at our house and lake house. The work is always top notch and the crew is always courteous and respectful of our property.”
★★★★★“I cannot say enough good things about these guys. They built a screened in porch for me this past winter and did a great job. The crew is professional and easy to work with from start to finish.”
★★★★★“The crew runs like a well-oiled machine. They show up when they say they will, frame everything square and solid, and leave the yard clean top to bottom.”
