Learn MoreReach out by phone or through our contact form. We ask a few basic questions about your yard, what you have in mind, and roughly what you are hoping to spend. Nothing is committed at this stage - it is just a conversation. We respond within 1 business day.
We come to your property, measure the space, and talk through your ideas in person. From that visit, we put together a written proposal showing the scope of work, materials, and price. You review it and decide - no pressure, no obligation. If you want changes before signing, just ask.
Once you sign, we handle the permit application with the City of Delray Beach. After approval, our crew builds your project - typically three to seven business days for a mid-size deck. A city inspector visits when work is complete, and you receive your closed permit before we leave.
We hold a current Florida contractor's license and carry both general liability and workers' compensation insurance on every project. You can verify our license status through the Florida DBPR's online lookup tool before you sign anything.
We are a locally owned business, not a franchise or out-of-area company. We know the permit timelines at the Delray Beach Building Division, the HOA approval processes in communities across the area, and the specific conditions South Florida's coastal climate creates for outdoor structures.
Every estimate starts with a free on-site visit - we come to your property, measure the space, and give you a written quote. No phone guesses. You see exactly what you are getting and the price before committing to anything.
We pull permits in our own name and schedule the final city inspection as part of every job. You receive the closed permit before we leave. That paperwork protects you when it comes time to sell your home - no surprises, no unpermitted structure disclosures.

"We had been putting off the deck for two years because we didn't know where to start. They walked us through the whole process, handled the permit, and had the deck done in about a week. It came out exactly the way we pictured it."
Sandra M., Delray Beach - Custom deck design and build
"Our old wood pool deck had rot in three of the boards and was starting to feel spongy in spots. They replaced the damaged sections and resealed the whole surface. It looks brand new and they finished in two days."
Robert K., Boynton Beach - Deck repair and replacement
"We live in a community with a pretty strict HOA and were worried about the approval process. They knew exactly what documentation to put together and we got HOA sign-off before construction started. The vinyl fence looks great and we haven't had a single issue."
Maria T., Boca Raton - Vinyl fence installation
We respond within 1 business day. There is no obligation - you review the written proposal and decide whether to move forward. After you submit, someone from our office will call to schedule a free on-site visit so we can measure your space and put together an accurate quote.

Composite decking outperforms untreated wood in Delray Beach's heat and humidity because it resists moisture absorption that leads to warping and rot. Pressure-treated lumber is a real alternative, but it needs to be sealed or stained every one to two years in this climate to maintain structural integrity.
Florida's building code requires decks to be engineered for high wind loads because of the state's hurricane exposure. Palm Beach County has stricter wind requirements than most of the country, meaning posts, hardware, and connections must meet standards you would not find in states with lower wind risk.
Salt air corrodes metal fasteners and hardware, degrades paint and sealers faster, and accelerates surface breakdown on wood and some composites. Homes even a few miles from the coast in Delray Beach are exposed. Using marine-grade hardware and corrosion-resistant fasteners is not optional here - it is the baseline.
Repair is the right call when damage is limited to a few boards or the surface finish. Replacement makes more sense when the structural framing or posts show rot, when the deck is pulling away from the house, or when the cost of repairs approaches half the cost of a new structure. An honest inspection tells you which situation you are in.
Outdoor living space is consistently cited by real estate agents as a top selling feature in South Florida, where the weather makes it usable year-round. A properly permitted deck is a concrete advantage at listing time - an unpermitted or deteriorating one can complicate closing and reduce your sale price.
The three biggest cost drivers are square footage, material choice, and add-ons like stairs, railings, shade structures, or lighting. Material choice alone can double or triple the per-square-foot price. The North American Deck and Railing Association publishes consumer guides on what to expect from a professional deck project.
Delray Beach Fence & Deck is a licensed and insured deck builder based in Delray Beach, Florida, serving 12 communities across Palm Beach and Broward counties since 2020. We hold a current Florida contractor's license issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and we carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage on every job.
Since 2020, we have completed custom decks, fence installations, screened enclosures, pergolas, and outdoor structures across all 16 service categories we offer. Every project is fully permitted through the local building authority and passes a final city or county inspection before we consider it done.
Want to know more about how we work? Read about our approach.
Walk the deck and press on the boards with your foot. Soft or spongy spots usually mean rot underneath. Check where the deck attaches to your house - any gap or pull-away is a structural warning sign that needs professional assessment before the deck is used again.
A solid contract lists the exact scope of work, materials with brand names and grades, a payment schedule tied to project milestones, the permit number once issued, and a timeline with start and estimated completion dates. Be cautious of contracts that are vague on materials or ask for full payment before work begins.
For most South Florida homeowners, a screened porch or screened deck is genuinely more usable than an open deck from May through October. Screens block mosquitoes and reduce direct sun without fully enclosing the space. The Florida Building Commission sets the standards for screened enclosure construction in the state.

Delray Beach is a coastal city of roughly 70,000 people in Palm Beach County, sitting between Boca Raton to the south and Boynton Beach to the north. The city draws a mix of year-round residents and seasonal snowbirds who spend winters near Delray Beach Municipal Beach and Atlantic Avenue. The combination of warm weather and outdoor-oriented lifestyle makes well-built outdoor living spaces a genuine priority for homeowners here.
The housing stock in Delray Beach is diverse - older concrete block homes from the 1950s through 1980s sit alongside newer construction in communities like the neighborhoods around Old School Square and gated communities west of I-95. Many neighborhoods are governed by HOAs with specific rules about deck materials, railing styles, and what is visible from the street. We are familiar with the approval processes in communities throughout the city, including Kings Point, Lake Ida, Tropic Isle, and Rainberry Bay.
Delray Beach's climate - with summer temperatures above 90 degrees, humidity that stays above 80 percent for months, and an annual hurricane season that runs June through November - shapes how every outdoor structure here should be built. The Palm Beach County wind load requirements for decks and structures are stricter than most of the country, and the sandy coastal soil means footings need to be designed carefully to prevent settling. We account for all of this before we draw a single line on a plan - it is the only way to build something here that holds up long-term.
