Deck Building

Building a new wooden or composite deck is one of the most effective ways to expand your living space, add visual appeal to your home, and increase overall property value. Dreaming of an open entertainment area? Or a private nook off the master bedroom? Maybe even a spacious multi-level design to match a sloped yard? Whatever you’re seeking, the team at Backyard Buddy Deck Repair is ready to bring that vision to life. Our team builds durable, custom decks suited to Gainesville’s climate and lifestyle – with designs that suit every home type. If you’re weighing up the value of a new deck, explore the advantages below.
Expanded Outdoor Living
A professionally built deck gives you more than square footage – though, that never hurts – it gives you functional, versatile space that adapts to your lifestyle. Whether you use it for outdoor dining, family gatherings, or simply lounging in the sun, a well designed deck feels like a natural extension of your home. In Gainesville’s mild climate, it can serve as a year-round living area with the right layout and finishing touches. We work with you to understand how you plan to use your deck, then build a space that’s tailored to those needs – blending comfort, practicality, and aesthetics. Now, that’s a great package!
Increased Home Value
Adding a deck is one of the most cost-effective ways to boost your home’s market appeal. Prospective buyers are often drawn to homes with finished outdoor spaces, especially in Florida, where entertaining outdoors is part of daily life. A high-quality deck adds usable square footage and uplifts the overall appearance of your property. At Backyard Buddy Deck Repair, our deck contractors make sure your new deck is designed with longevity and visual impact in mind – which means you’ll not only enjoy it while you live there, but also see a strong return if you decide to sell in the future.
Custom Design and Materials
No two properties are the same, and your deck shouldn’t be, either. Our deck contractors offer custom design services that account for your home's architecture, the layout of your yard, sun exposure, and intended use. From traditional wood to low-maintenance composite options, we’ll walk you through material choices that best fit your goals and budget. Railings, stairs, built-in seating, lighting – all of it can be tailored to create something unique to your home. And something uniquely suited to you. With a sharp eye for detail and careful construction practices, we deliver results that feel cohesive, balanced, and built to last.
Built for the Florida Climate
Composite and wood decks in North Central Florida face particular challenges – from strong sun exposure and summer downpours to high humidity and occasional storms. There’s quite a bit to handle, there! That’s why we don’t cut corners on materials, fasteners, or finishes. We build with Gainesville’s environment in mind, ensuring durability, weather resistance, and safe, long-term performance. Every element is considered, from foundation supports to drainage and airflow, helping your deck stand up to the elements and stay looking its best over time. When you work with us, you can be confident your investment is protected and your outdoor space is built to thrive. We’ll even give you deck maintenance tips once we’ve finished construction!
