Deck
building in Wilmington, DE

Composite decks, steps and rails, built from the footings up across Wilmington and New Castle County.

Decks

Built from the ground
up, not just topped.

A deck is only as good as the part you stop seeing once it is finished. So it starts in the yard: footings and posts set where the frame needs them, a ledger fastened to the house, then the frame and joists laid out before a single board goes down. On top of that comes the composite decking, steps wide enough to sit on that can wrap around the corner down to a patio, white vinyl rails and skirting to close in the frame, and lights in the steps and post caps so the stairs are easy to see after dark. It is the same habit BESA brings to a tile floor: the layout and the base get done properly first, because that is what decides how the finished surface looks and lasts.

Deck questions

Quick answers,
before you call.

Do you build composite decks?
Yes. The deck on this page is composite boards on a new frame, with wraparound steps and white vinyl rails. If you have a material in mind, mention it when you call and we will talk it through.
Can you build the deck from scratch?
Yes. It starts at the ground: footings and posts, a ledger fastened to the house, then the frame, the decking, the steps and the rails.
Can you add lights to the steps?
Yes. The deck on this page has lit steps and lit post caps, so the stairs are easy to see after dark.
Do you serve Wilmington and nearby areas?
Yes. BESA is based in Wilmington and works across New Castle County, including Bear, Newark, Middletown, New Castle, Claymont and Hockessin. If you are a little outside that, call and ask.

One team, every detail.

How a deck goes

Square frame,
straight boards.

The frame decides whether the boards run straight and the steps land level, so it gets the time.

  1. 01

    The ground first

    Footings and posts set where the frame needs them, so the deck sits on something solid.

  2. 02

    Ledger and frame

    A ledger fastened to the house and the frame laid out square before any decking goes down.

  3. 03

    Boards, steps, rails

    Composite decking, the steps down to the yard or patio, then the rails and skirting.

  4. 04

    The line named out loud

    Where a job needs licensed electrical work, you are told plainly, not sold it.
