Custom Decks
Why Rochester Homeowners Choose Maressa for Deck Projects
Built for Rochester Weather: Western New York sees over 100 inches of snow each year, along with intense summer heat and constant freeze-thaw cycles. We build every deck with proper footings, hardware, and materials rated for these conditions so your investment holds up season after season.
Professional Expertise: Our team handles every phase of your deck project in-house, from design and permitting through framing, decking, and railing installation. One point of contact means consistent quality and clear communication throughout the build.
Safe and Code-Compliant: Every deck we build meets or exceeds local building codes for structural support, railing height, stair dimensions, and ledger board connections. We pull the necessary permits and schedule inspections so you never have to worry about compliance issues down the road.
Curb Appeal and Home Value: A well-designed deck is one of the highest-return exterior improvements you can make. It adds usable square footage to your home and creates a natural transition between indoor and outdoor living that buyers notice.
Top-Quality Craftsmanship: We use premium fasteners, structural-grade lumber, and manufacturer-recommended installation methods on every project. Details like properly spaced boards, concealed fastening systems, and sealed end cuts are standard, not upgrades.
Customizable Designs: Your deck should fit your home and how you use it. We design everything from simple single-level platforms to multi-tier layouts with built-in seating, pergolas, and lighting. Each project is planned around your property’s grading, sun exposure, and access points.
Long-Lasting Results: Between proper drainage planning, corrosion-resistant hardware, and materials selected for our climate, the decks we build are made to perform for decades with minimal maintenance.
Deck Materials and Styles We Install
Every property and budget calls for a different approach. We work with a range of decking materials and can help you weigh the pros and cons of each option based on your priorities for appearance, maintenance, and longevity.
Composite Decking: Engineered boards made from recycled wood fibers and plastic polymers. Resistant to rot, warping, and insect damage. Requires no staining or sealing and holds up well under Rochester’s heavy snow loads.
Pressure-Treated Wood: The most common and cost-effective decking material. Treated to resist rot and insect damage, pressure-treated lumber works well for structures, framing, and finished deck surfaces. Requires periodic staining or sealing to maintain appearance.
Cedar: Naturally resistant to moisture and insects with a warm, rich grain pattern. Cedar weathers gracefully and can be left untreated for a natural silver-gray finish or stained to maintain its original color.
PVC Decking: A fully synthetic option that contains no wood fibers. PVC boards resist moisture, staining, and mold, making them a strong choice for pool areas and ground-level decks where water contact is frequent.
Hardwood Decking: Premium tropical hardwoods offer exceptional density and natural rot resistance. These materials deliver a distinctive look and outstanding durability, though they come at a higher price point and require specialized installation.
Multi-Level and Wraparound Designs: For properties with sloped yards or homeowners who want distinct zones for dining, lounging, and grilling, we design and build multi-tier deck layouts that work with your property’s natural grading.
Covered and Screened Structures: Extend your outdoor season with a covered deck or screened-in porch. These additions provide shade, rain protection, and insect control, making your deck usable from early spring through late fall in Western New York.
