A well-built deck adds outdoor living space and value to your home. Built On Trust builds new decks and repairs old ones for homeowners in Raleigh, Garner, Cary, Fuquay-Varina and across Wake and Johnston Counties, from simple single-level platforms to multi-level designs with stairs, built-in seating and arbors.
Javier, our founder, is on the job himself. Customers who hired us once often call us back for the next project, because the job was built right and finished on schedule.

Repairs are common in the Triangle
Humid summers, heavy rain and termites wear outdoor wood down fast. The most dangerous problem is one you can’t see from above: a rotted ledger board where the frame attaches to the house, or posts rotting at ground level. When the framing is still sound, replacing just the decking and railings with composite or vinyl can extend its life at a lower cost. When it isn’t, we repair or rebuild the structure so it is safe.
We help with design plans, City of Raleigh or county permits and inspections, which most new and rebuilt projects need.
Why choose Built On Trust for your deck
Your outdoor space has to carry people, furniture and weather for years, so the structure matters as much as the boards you see. We size footings, posts, beams and joists properly, flash the ledger board where the frame meets your house, and build stairs and railings to code. Customers often hire us again after their first project. Javier is on the job himself, and you get a written quote with the design, materials and timeline before any work starts.

FAQ
Questions Raleigh Homeowners Ask
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Raleigh?
Anything attached to a house or raised off the ground usually needs a building permit and inspections. We handle the plans and permit for you.
Should I repair or replace my deck?
If the posts, beams, joists and ledger board are solid, replacing the boards and railings is often enough. If the framing is rotted or it moves when you walk on it, rebuilding is safer. We’ll check and tell you honestly.
Composite or wood decking?
Composite costs more up front but doesn’t rot, splinter or need staining. Pressure-treated wood costs less but needs regular sealing. A common middle ground is composite boards on a pressure-treated wood frame.
How long does construction take?
A typical project takes one to a few weeks to build, plus time for permits and inspections. Your quote includes a timeline.
What is the best wood to use in Raleigh?
Pressure-treated pine is the most common choice for the frame. For the boards you walk on, many homeowners choose composite to avoid splinters, staining and rot.
How often should I stain or seal my deck?
Wood usually needs cleaning and a new coat of stain or sealer every two to three years in our climate.
