EXTERIOR SERVICE
Custom decks, built to last..
Custom decks built from pressure-treated lumber, cedar, composite and PVC. Footings to spec, joist spacing to code, and railings that pass every inspection on the first walk. We also rebuild rotten decks the right way — replace the framing, not just the boards.
THUNDER PRO DECK SYSTEMS
The right outdoor living space depends on your lifestyle
We do not treat every deck project as a simple cosmetic platform. Structural framing, weight distribution, moisture ventilation, and material longevity dictate whether your property needs a classic wood build or an elite low-maintenance composite system.
01Classic & Economical
Premium Pressure-Treated Wood
The traditional path to a robust, structurally sound outdoor space. Built with high-grade treated lumber for natural strength and structural compliance.
—Excellent structural load-bearing performance—Classic wood aesthetic that can be stained or painted—Cost-effective option for expansive outdoor footprints
02Recommended Premium Default
Advanced Composite Decking (Trex / TimberTech)
Our premier recommendation for homeowners who want a lifetime outdoor space with zero sanding, zero staining, and high resistance to fading and scratching.
—Engineered polymer capping to resist rot, mold, and termites—Hidden fastening systems for a clean, screw-free surface finish—Preferred choice for maximum long-term property value
03Elevated Safety & Design
Multi-Level & Covered Specialties
Best for complex terrains, second-story walkouts, or projects integrating custom railings, stairs, and under-deck drainage systems.
—Custom structural engineering for elevated platforms—Integrates structural steel framing or heavy-duty joist layouts—Perfect for creating dry, usable spaces underneath the deck
EARLY WARNING
things to consider
01
Warning 01
Soft or Spongy Joists
A critical warning sign that moisture has bypassed the surface and is actively rotting the structural framing underneath.
02
Warning 02
Loose or Rusted Ledger Connectors
A catastrophic hazard where the deck attaches to the house; rusted nails or loose bolts can lead to total structural collapse.
03
Warning 03
Wobbly Railings or Posts
Indicates failing hardware connections or rotted structural blocking that no longer meets safety code requirements.
04
Warning 04
Soil Erosion Around Footings
Exposed concrete piers or sinking footings mean the weight distribution of the deck is compromised and shifting.

Things people actually ask.
More questions? Call +1 (555) 123-7846 or request an estimate — we don't believe in pressure sales.
5" or 6" gutters?
6" handles roughly 40% more water and is what we recommend for most Maine roofs. 5" only if the roof is small or the look matters (6" is noticeably bigger).
Do gutter guards actually work?
Guard systems such as LeafFilter are designed to reduce debris buildup and seasonal cleanouts while maintaining water flow when the entire drainage path is properly sized.
What colors are available?
32 standard colors are available, and custom RAL colors can also be ordered.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on surrounding tree cover and debris load. Guard systems can help reduce the need for regular cleanouts.
