Decks, Fences & Pergolas in Myrtle Beach

Outdoor carpentry built for salt air and summer storms

Outdoor projects on the Grand Strand have to survive humidity, sandy soil, salt air and the occasional tropical storm. We build and repair composite and pressure-treated decks, deck stairs, privacy fences and gates, and freestanding or attached pergolas with hardware that is rated for exterior use. Posts are set to the right depth, framing is fastened with coated or stainless fasteners, and gates are built to stay square.

We handle the smaller outdoor builds that big contractors pass on: a set of stairs, a fence run with a gate, a pergola over the hot tub.

01

Measure and design

We walk the site, check grade and drainage, and agree on layout, materials and permits.
02

Frame and build

Footings, posts and framing first, then decking, pickets or rafters fastened with exterior hardware.
03

Walk-through

We check every board, latch and railing with you and haul away all scrap.

What is included

Good outdoor carpentry adds usable living space and protects your yard. Composite decking needs almost no maintenance, and a correctly built fence gate will not sag after its first season.

  • Composite and pressure-treated decks and stairs
  • Wood privacy fences, gates and fence repairs

Signs you need decks & fences help

Signs your outdoor carpentry needs attention:

  • Deck boards that are soft, split or loose, or railings that wobble when you lean on them
  • Fence posts leaning after a storm, or a gate that drags and no longer latches
  • Rusty fasteners and hardware, common within a few miles of the ocean
  • A patio or hot tub with no shade or privacy that you would use more if it had both

What affects the price

Fence and gate repairs are priced by the visit, with posts and lumber at cost. New decks are priced per square foot and depend on height off the ground, stairs, railing style and composite versus pressure-treated lumber. Pergolas depend on size, wood or aluminum, and whether they attach to the house. Permits, when Horry County requires them, are listed on the estimate. See the starting prices below.

Sandy soil, salt air and hurricane-season wind are tough on outdoor wood. We use coated or stainless fasteners, set posts deep in concrete and brace gates so they stay square, which is what makes the difference between a fence that lasts and one that leans after its first storm.

Frequently asked questions

Most attached decks and many freestanding decks need a permit. We will tell you during the estimate and handle the drawings for smaller projects.

Composite costs more up front but does not need staining and resists splinters and rot. Pressure-treated pine is the budget choice and works well when it is sealed every couple of years.

Yes. We replace broken pickets, rails and leaning posts and rebuild sagging gates with new hinges and a diagonal brace.

A small deck or stair project usually takes three to five working days depending on the weather and the materials.
