Hi, I’m Marcus – founder of Deck Builders Sarasota.

I started this company to give Sarasota homeowners what they really want from a contractor. Someone local. Someone who listens. And someone who builds it right the first time.

We don’t treat your deck like a job on a checklist. We treat it like the entrance to your backyard lifestyle — and we take that seriously. From first contact to final cleanup, you’ll get local service, real communication, and a team that cares about the details.

Thanks for stopping by. We’d love the chance to earn your trust.

Sarasota Deck Builders — Custom Decks, Pergolas & Outdoor Living

Welcome to Sarasota Deck Builders, Sarasota County’s premier custom deck construction company. We design and build beautiful, code-compliant outdoor living spaces for homeowners throughout Sarasota, Sarasota, Venice, Lakewood Ranch, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, and the surrounding Gulf Coast communities. From custom wood decks and composite decking to pool decks, pergolas, and covered outdoor living rooms — we deliver exceptional craftsmanship, transparent pricing, and a seamless build experience from first consultation through final inspection.

Why Sarasota Homeowners Choose Us

Sarasota’s Gulf Coast climate creates unique demands for outdoor decking — intense UV radiation, high humidity, frequent afternoon rain, and salt air from the Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay all require materials and construction methods specifically suited to Florida’s environment. Our team has deep expertise in building decks that thrive in Southwest Florida’s conditions. We are fully licensed under Florida DBPR contractor requirements, carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation, and handle every building permit through the Sarasota County Building Department — so you never have to navigate the permitting process yourself.

Our Decking Services

We offer Sarasota homeowners the full range of outdoor deck and living space services:

Custom Wood Decks — We build with pressure-treated pine, cedar, Ipe (Brazilian Walnut), Tigerwood, and Cumaru. Each species is selected for its performance in Sarasota’s climate. Ipe is our most popular premium hardwood choice — lasting 40–75 years in Florida’s environment with minimal maintenance. All wood decks are designed to Florida Building Code 2023 standards with 150 mph wind load compliance.

Composite Decking — We are authorized installers of Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon, and Deckorators composite decking systems. Composite is the lowest-maintenance choice for Sarasota homeowners — no staining, no sealing, and resistant to UV fading, moisture, mold, and salt air for 25–30+ years. Ideal for pool decks, waterfront properties, and any homeowner who wants a beautiful deck without the ongoing upkeep wood requires.

Pool Decks & Patios — With Sarasota’s year-round sunshine, a professionally designed pool deck is one of the best investments you can make in your home. We build pool surrounds in composite decking, tropical hardwood, pressure-treated wood, and travertine pavers — all with proper drainage design, slip-resistant surfaces, and Florida pool barrier code compliance.

Pergolas & Covered Decks — Sarasota’s 260+ sunny days make shade structures essential for comfortable outdoor living. We build open-top pergolas, motorized louvered pergola systems, fully covered deck structures, and attached lanai additions in aluminum, cedar, and pressure-treated wood. Louvered pergolas are particularly popular in Sarasota — letting you dial in exactly the right amount of sun and protection as Florida’s weather changes throughout the day.

Service Areas Throughout the Gulf Coast

Sarasota Deck Builders serves homeowners throughout a 45-mile radius of Sarasota, covering all of Sarasota County and much of Charlotte and Manatee Counties. Our primary service areas include:

The Sarasota Deck Builders Process

Every project begins with a free on-site consultation where we assess your yard, existing structures, sun exposure, HOA requirements, and your vision for the space. We provide a detailed, itemized estimate — no vague “per foot” quotes with surprise add-ons at the end. After you approve the design and contract, we obtain all required Sarasota County building permits on your behalf. Our crew builds your deck to the approved plans, and we schedule and pass all required county inspections before your project is complete. We don’t consider a job done until you’re fully satisfied.

Florida Building Code & Permitting Expertise

All deck construction in Sarasota County requires a building permit, and all structures must be engineered to meet Florida Building Code 2023 wind load standards — 150 mph for Sarasota County’s high-wind zone. We handle the complete permitting process for every project including drawing preparation, Sarasota County Building Department submittal, and final inspection coordination. Our decks are built by licensed Florida contractors carrying Florida DBPR credentials, comprehensive liability insurance, and workers’ compensation coverage.
