New Deck Construction
A well-built deck transforms how you use your outdoor space. Whether you’re replacing an aging structure or building something completely new, Deep South Decks specializes in custom deck construction designed for the coastal climate of St. Simons Island.
From simple backyard platforms to expansive outdoor entertainment areas, we design and build decks that extend your living space and add lasting value to your home.
When New Deck Construction Is the Best Option
Many homeowners initially consider repairing or expanding their existing deck. However, in many cases, building a new deck is the smarter long-term investment.
New construction may be the best solution when:
The existing deck shows structural damage or wood rot
The framing was built under outdated building standards
You want to expand the size or layout significantly
The deck has experienced years of coastal weather exposure
Previous repairs have only provided temporary fixes
Starting fresh allows for modern materials, improved structural integrity, and a design tailored to how you actually use your outdoor space.

Outdoor Living Integration
Decks designed to accommodate grilling areas, seating zones, and entertainment spaces. Every deck is built with durability, safety, and aesthetics in mind.
Built for the Coastal Climate
Deck construction near the coast requires more than standard building practices. This is because the homes on St. Simons Island face unique environmental challenges, including:
Salt air corrosion
High humidity
Intense UV exposure
Seasonal storms
Deep South Decks uses construction methods and materials specifically selected for these conditions, ensuring your deck performs reliably for years.
This includes ensuring joist tape is applied to all of the necessary beams and contact points, ensuring moisture doesn’t get trapped and rot your deck.
