There’s nothing like the warmth of a real wood deck. We build custom pressure-treated and cedar decks across Apollo Beach — properly fastened, sealed, and engineered to handle the Florida coast at a price that fits more budgets than composite.
Wood remains the most budget-friendly way to add a quality deck to your home, and it delivers a natural look composite can only imitate. With the right materials, fasteners, and sealing schedule, a wood deck performs beautifully in Apollo Beach for many years.
We help you choose the species and grade that fits your goals:
Wood decks in Apollo Beach generally run $35 to $55 per square foot installed. Pressure-treated pine sits at the low end, cedar mid-range, and tropical hardwoods at the top. We give you honest pricing for each option so you can choose with full information.
Wood decks need periodic sealing to thrive in our climate — usually every 1 to 2 years. We finish every wood deck with a quality sealant and walk you through a simple maintenance routine, and we offer re-sealing and restoration down the road.

Pressure-treated pine is cheaper and very durable when sealed. Cedar is naturally rot-resistant, lighter, and more attractive but costs more. We’ll help you weigh budget against look and upkeep.
Yes, when built correctly — proper drainage gaps, the right fasteners, and a good sealing schedule. We build and finish wood decks specifically for the coastal Apollo Beach environment.
Yes. Wood decks in unincorporated Hillsborough County require a permit. We handle the permit, engineering, and inspections as part of the build.
A standard wood deck takes about 1 to 2 weeks once the permit is approved. Larger or elevated decks take longer; you’ll get a firm timeline before we start.
Absolutely. We finish wood decks in a range of stain colors and sheens, from natural cedar tones to rich dark stains. We’ll show you samples during design.
Quality lumber, correct fastening, and regular sealing minimize warping and splintering. Neglected, unsealed wood decks are the ones that fail early — which is why we set up a maintenance plan.
Yes. We replace rotted boards, re-secure railings, reinforce framing, and re-sand and re-seal tired wood decks. See our deck repair service.
Upfront, yes — wood usually costs less to install. Over the deck’s life, composite can be cheaper because it needs no staining or sealing. We’ll lay out both options honestly.
