- Wood and composite material options for different priorities
- Railings and stairs coordinated with the overall structure
- Deck installation planned around the property and home access
Every Good Deck Starts Below the Surface
Outdoor deck construction depends on more than the boards you see. From the supporting structure to the final railing, each component plays a role in how the finished deck looks, feels, and performs.
Footings & Support
Proper footings create the base for the deck structure and are planned according to the deck layout, site conditions, and required support.
Deck Framing
Deck framing establishes the shape, strength, spacing, and elevation of the structure before surface boards and finish components are installed.
Wood Deck Construction
Wood deck construction offers a traditional outdoor appearance with material choices that can be matched to the home, layout, and maintenance preferences.
Composite Decking
As a composite deck builder, we can incorporate low-maintenance decking materials that offer a consistent finish and an alternative to traditional wood surfaces.
Railings & Deck Stairs
Railings and deck stairs are integrated into the overall layout to support safe movement while contributing to the finished design and access between levels.

Why Build With Us
Structure First. Details Never Forgotten.
A custom deck builder needs to think about what supports the finished surface as carefully as the surface itself. Baptiste General Constructions LLC brings 23+ years of construction experience to deck construction, site conditions, material coordination, and exterior project planning.
Built Around the Property
As an experienced deck contractor, we consider grade, home access, yard dimensions, existing exterior features, and the intended use of the deck before construction begins.
Material Choices With Context
Wood, composite surfaces, railings, and other components are considered for appearance, upkeep, exposure, and how they relate to the home.
New Builds & Existing Decks
Our work can include new deck installation, deck remodeling, and deck replacement when an existing structure no longer suits the property or homeowner’s needs.
Exterior Details That Work Together
When nearby siding, trim, or painted surfaces also need attention, review exterior painting to coordinate the surrounding exterior with the updated deck.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in deck construction?
Deck construction can include footings, structural framing, decking boards, railings, stairs, trim, and related finish details. The final scope depends on the deck size, elevation, materials, site conditions, access, and how the outdoor space will be used.
Should I choose wood or composite decking?
Wood and composite decking offer different advantages. Wood provides a traditional appearance, while composite materials generally require less routine maintenance. The right choice depends on budget, desired appearance, upkeep preferences, exposure, and how frequently the deck will be used.
Can an existing deck be remodeled instead of replaced?
Sometimes. Deck remodeling may be appropriate when the supporting structure remains suitable, but surfaces, railings, stairs, or layout elements need improvement. Deck replacement may make more sense when structural deterioration or extensive changes affect most of the existing deck.
How long does deck installation take?
Deck installation timelines depend on size, design complexity, materials, site access, weather, structural requirements, and permitting where applicable. A straightforward deck may move faster than a larger custom design with multiple levels, extensive railings, or complex stair configurations.
How do I start planning a new deck?
Start by deciding how the deck should be used, how many people it should accommodate, and how it should connect to the home and yard. A deck builder Allentown, PA homeowners work with can then help define layout and construction priorities.
