ES Custom Construction is a licensed deck builder in Connecticut. We provide professional deck construction services on residential properties in Connecticut, including new deck builds, deck replacement, pressure-treated lumber decks, composite decking, hardwood decks, railings, stairs, and pergolas. Every footing, ledger, and joist gets installed by our own crew.
Our deck building crew works in Fairfield County and the surrounding Connecticut area. We dig footings below frost line, set posts in concrete, lag ledgers into solid rim joists with proper flashing, hang joists to span tables, and screw boards down clean. Connecticut decks built right last twenty-plus years.
As a Connecticut deck contractor, we cover Danbury, Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich, Fairfield, Westport, and the rest of the area. You hire Edwin and the crew direct. No franchise installer, no random subcontractor showing up to dig the footings. The contractor running the build signs the deck permit.
Every deck we build in Connecticut holds to the same standard: footings below frost, ledgers flashed and lagged into solid framing, joists sized to span, fasteners rated to material, and railings code-compliant. Connecticut homeowners hire us because a deck built wrong shows up in five years, sagging, rotting, or pulling away.
Standard pressure-treated lumber decks built to last. Posts in concrete, joists hung tight, deck boards screwed down with stainless or coated fasteners rated to ACQ lumber.
Composite decking installed clean. Trex, TimberTech, and AZEK on properly spaced joists, hidden fasteners where specified, and matching composite fascia tying it all together.
Ipe, mahogany, and cedar decks built with the right fasteners and pre-drilled to prevent splits. Hardwood decks installed to last decades, not a season.
Wood, composite, aluminum, and cable railings installed code-compliant. Newel posts anchored solid, balusters spaced to four inches, top rails set straight.
Code-compliant deck stairs with proper rise and run. Stringers cut clean, treads fastened solid, and railings tied in tight on both sides of the run.
Pergolas, arbors, planters, and built-in benches integrated into deck framing. Shade structures sized to span, anchored to deck posts, finished to match the deck.
Every footing dug below the Connecticut frost line and poured to bear load. No surface piers, no cheap shortcuts. The deck stays put through every winter.
Ledger flashed properly, lagged into solid rim joists, and isolated from the siding. Water cannot get behind it, and the deck won't pull away from the house.
Joists sized to span, fasteners rated to material, railings code-compliant, deck boards spaced right. Connecticut decks we build hold up twenty-plus years easy.
A standard backyard deck runs one to two weeks once the permit is in hand. Larger multi-level decks or decks with pergolas, built-in benches, or hardwood decking can take three weeks or more.
Pressure-treated is the most affordable and lasts twenty-plus years when built right. Composite needs no staining and lasts even longer but costs more upfront. Hardwood like ipe is premium and built to last decades.
Yes. Almost every Connecticut town requires a permit on decks over a certain size or height. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and pass on the first call.
Sometimes. If footings are sound, posts plumb, and ledger properly flashed, we can rebuild on top. We inspect first and only build on a foundation that meets code.
Connecticut deck railings must be at least 36 inches tall on residential decks, with balusters spaced no more than 4 inches apart. We build to code and to whatever style you want: wood, composite, aluminum, or cable.
