Custom Deck Builders

From new wood and composite builds to full deck replacements, Core Structures Inc. designs and constructs custom decks built to last across Lehigh County and Eastern Pennsylvania. Whether you're starting from scratch or rebuilding, we handle the project from first conversation to final walkthrough.

What We Build

Deck Services

Wood Decks

Classic, natural-looking wood construction using cedar, pressure-treated lumber, or hardwood species. Wood decks offer a timeless aesthetic and are a cost-effective starting point for most residential builds.

Composite Decks

Low-maintenance composite materials engineered to resist fading, staining, and moisture — no sanding, sealing, or painting required. Composite decks are built for longevity and come in a wide range of colors and textures to match your home's exterior.

Deck Rebuilds

Aging or structurally compromised decks don't always need a patch — sometimes a full rebuild is the smarter investment. We assess existing decks, identify what's salvageable, and replace the rest with materials built to last. Before-and-after work is a specialty of ours.

How We Work

Our Process

Every deck project with Core Structures starts with a conversation — not a sales pitch. We walk the property, take measurements, and listen to how you actually use your outdoor space before putting anything on paper. From there, our process moves through four clear phases:

Consultation. We meet on-site to discuss layout, materials, intended use, and budget. No guesswork — just a direct conversation with the people who will be building your deck.

Design. Our team develops a custom layout sized for your home, incorporating your preferred decking material, railing style, stair placement, and any special features like built-in benches or lighting prep.

Permitting. Where required, we assist with permit applications and coordinate with the local township so the project stays on the right side of local codes from day one.

Construction. Our crew handles all framing, decking, railing, finish work, and concrete footings on-site.

Common Questions

Deck FAQs

Do you build with wood or composite materials?

Both. Core Structures Inc. builds custom decks using natural wood — including cedar and pressure-treated lumber — as well as composite decking products from leading manufacturers. We help each client choose the material that fits their budget, maintenance preferences, and aesthetic goals.

Do I need a permit for a new deck in Pennsylvania?

In most cases, yes. Permit requirements vary by township and municipality across Eastern Pennsylvania. Core Structures Inc. has experience working with local permitting offices and helps guide clients through the process as part of every project.

Can you rebuild or repair an existing deck?

Yes. Deck rebuilds and structural repairs are a regular part of our work. Whether your existing deck has rotted boards, compromised structural posts, or simply needs a full replacement, our team will assess the condition and recommend the right approach — from targeted repairs to a complete teardown and rebuild.

Do you build screened-in decks or deck-and-roof combinations?

Yes. Core Structures Inc. has experience building screened enclosures, covered decks, and combination structures that add roof coverage or screening to new or existing deck builds. Each project is designed and scoped based on the client's specific needs.
