Wood Deck Builder in Pennsylvania

Two Classic Choices—Cedar or Pressure-Treated

Custom Wood Decks That Match Your Home and Lifestyle

Wood decks offer timeless warmth and a natural look that blends beautifully with any home. At Alliance Deck Builders of Pennsylvania, we build custom wood decks using high-quality cedar or pressure-treated lumber—each with unique advantages.

Cedar vs. Pressure-Treated—What’s the Difference?

Two Excellent Options, One Reliable Build

Cedar offers a rich, natural color and resistance to decay without chemical treatment. It’s ideal for clients who want a refined look and are willing to maintain it. Pressure-treated wood is more budget-friendly and highly durable, especially against rot, insects, and moisture—making it a great choice for high-traffic decks. We’ll help you choose the right wood based on your style, budget, and maintenance goals. Either way, we build it to last.

Cedar: Naturally beautiful, great for staining

Pressure-Treated: Strong and affordable

Both options are code-compliant and locally sourced

Framing, Finishing, and Fasteners That Matter

A great wood deck starts below the surface. We use pressure-treated joists, galvanized or coated fasteners, and drainage-smart framing to handle freeze-thaw cycles, rain, and humidity. Our cedar decks are sealed and spaced for airflow, while pressure-treated builds are designed to dry properly and resist rot. We don’t just build wood decks—we engineer them for Pennsylvania weather. That’s why our clients enjoy their decks year after year without structural issues.

Custom Layouts, Stairs, Railings, and Seating

No two properties are the same, and your deck shouldn’t be either. We tailor every build to your yard’s slope, your home’s architecture, and how you plan to use the space. Need wide stairs, built-in benches, or matching wood railings? We’ve got you covered. Whether it’s a compact deck for rowhomes in Philadelphia or a full wraparound cedar build in Lancaster, we design with flow, comfort, and safety in mind.

Outdoor Living That Feels Natural and Inviting

Wood Decks That Add Charm and Everyday Function

A wood deck invites people in. It feels warm underfoot, blends into natural landscaping, and creates a space for everything from quiet coffee to busy backyard barbecues. Our builds elevate homes by adding usable square footage and long-term value. We design every detail to fit your lifestyle—then build it to code, on schedule, and ready for years of use.

What to Expect With a Wood Deck Build

Every wood deck starts with a site visit and layout plan. We measure, design, and review materials with you—cedar or treated—before finalizing the quote. Once approved, we pull permits, prep the site, and build the deck step-by-step, with safety and code compliance at every turn. We leave every project ready to enjoy and built to last.

Care and Maintenance Tips for Wood Decks

Keep Your Deck Looking Great for Years to Come

Wood decks age beautifully—but they need the right care. We’ll walk you through maintenance basics, like annual sealing, cleaning routines, and stain recommendations to protect your deck from moisture and sun exposure. Cedar may require more frequent sealing, while pressure-treated wood holds up longer with basic care. We offer maintenance tips and even seasonal service packages to keep your deck in top shape.
