Our Story

How We Think About a Deck

We build and repair decks for homeowners around Foley and the rest of Baldwin County. Most of us got into this trade doing framing and rough carpentry, and decks are where that work meets the part homeowners actually see and stand on every day.

If you're on this page, there's a good chance a board is soft underfoot, a post is leaning, or the whole structure just feels less solid than it used to. Rot usually starts where the deck meets the house or where a post sits in standing water, and that's exactly where we look first. We rebuild the framing where it's actually failing instead of just laying new boards over a bad structure, because that's the only way the deck is still safe to stand on in five years.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

Ask us for proof of insurance before we start, we'll have it ready. It covers you if a worker gets hurt or something gets damaged on your property.

Permits Pulled for You

Baldwin County requires a permit for most decks over 30 inches off the ground, and we deal with the paperwork and the inspector directly. That's one less thing on your plate while the crew is working.

Written Quotes

We price the job out board by board and give you a number in writing, not a verbal guess. If something changes once we open up the old deck, we tell you before we do the work, not after.

Material Options

Pressure-treated pine costs less up front but needs restaining every couple of years down here. Composite costs more but you're not out there with a brush every spring, and we'll walk you through that tradeoff before you decide.

On-Time Scheduling

Gulf Coast summers bring afternoon storms almost daily, and that can push a stain job or a pour back a day. We'd rather tell you that up front than leave you guessing why the crew didn't show.

Local Gulf Coast Crew

A deck built the same way it would be in Ohio does not hold up on the Alabama coast, the moisture and the sun see to that. We build for this climate specifically, with fasteners and finishes rated for it.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who's actually doing the work.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck construction and repair work draws on years of hands-on carpentry experience, covering everything from framing to finish work. That background carries directly into how a deck is designed and built to hold up on the Gulf Coast.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
Deck projects are built using an in-house crew rather than subcontracted labor, so the same people who quote the job are the ones building it. This keeps quality consistent from one project to the next.
Can I see photos of decks you've built before?
Photos of completed deck projects, including framing shots before the decking goes down, are available on request. Seeing the framing stage matters as much as the finished look, since that's where the quality of the work actually shows.
Why hire a smaller deck builder instead of a large remodeling company?
A smaller deck-focused contractor typically means more direct communication with the person actually building the deck, rather than going through several layers of project managers. Pricing also tends to reflect the actual cost of the job rather than overhead from a larger operation.
Where are you based?
Radius Deck Co is based in Foley, Alabama, and serves Foley along with surrounding Baldwin County communities. Being local means familiarity with the specific permitting requirements and climate conditions of the Gulf Coast.
How far in advance do I need to book a deck project?
Scheduling varies by season, with spring and early summer typically being the busiest months for new deck construction. Booking a few weeks ahead is reasonable for most projects, though repair work can often be scheduled sooner.
Do you clean up the job site after a deck project?
Old decking, cut-offs, and packaging materials are hauled away at the end of a deck project, leaving the yard in usable condition. Demolition debris from a deck removal is also hauled off rather than left for the homeowner to deal with.
What happens if something gets damaged on my property during the work?
Deck construction work is covered by contractor's insurance, which addresses damage to property or injury that occurs during the project. Any damage should be reported immediately so it can be documented and addressed.
Will you finish a deck another contractor started or abandoned?
Taking over a partially built or abandoned deck project is possible, though the existing framing and footings need to be inspected first to confirm they meet code. Sometimes it's cheaper to finish what's there, and sometimes starting over on the framing is the better call.
How can I tell if deck work is being done correctly?
Properly built decks use footings poured below the frost line, joist hangers rated for exterior use, and flashing where the deck attaches to the house. Asking to see these details during construction, rather than waiting until the decking boards cover everything up, is the best way to confirm the work underneath is solid.
