Our Deck Services
Custom Deck Design
We provide fully tailored designs that match your property’s architecture, lifestyle, and budget. Every design takes into account the surrounding environment, ensuring your deck complements both your home and its natural surroundings. Our design process includes detailed planning, material selection, and layout options so you can visualize the final product before construction begins.
Wood Deck Construction
Traditional wood decks remain a timeless choice for homeowners. We source premium, pressure-treated lumber designed to withstand the elements, delivering durability and a natural aesthetic. With options like cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated pine, wood decks offer warmth, versatility, and a customizable finish that can be stained or painted to your preferences.
Composite Deck Installation
Composite decks are ideal for those seeking fade resistance, long-term durability, and low maintenance. These decks handle humidity, rain, and seasonal changes while maintaining their polished look for years. Available in a wide range of colors and textures, composite decking offers a modern, eco-friendly alternative to wood that blends beauty with practicality.
Multi-Level Decks
For sloped properties or large backyards, multi-level decks maximize space and views. These designs enhance functionality and create distinct outdoor living zones. Whether for dining, lounging, or entertainment, multi-level decks offer versatility and make the most of your property’s layout while adding architectural interest to your outdoor space.
Deck Repairs and Restorations
Older decks often need upgrades or structural repairs to remain safe and visually appealing. We restore safety and aesthetics through professional repairs, extending the lifespan of your existing outdoor space. From replacing worn boards to strengthening foundations, we revitalize aging decks with expert care and attention to detail.
Pergola and Shade Additions
Pair your deck with a custom pergola for added shade and style. Pergolas create inviting retreats while enhancing the overall design of your outdoor living area. Built from quality materials, they provide both beauty and functionality, allowing you to enjoy outdoor comfort even on the hottest days.
Benefits of Professional Deck Building
Enhanced Property Value
A professionally built deck adds significant resale value to homes. Buyers are drawn to functional outdoor spaces, and a well-constructed deck provides instant appeal, making your property more competitive in the real estate market. Beyond aesthetics, it signals quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design. This added curb appeal ensures your home stands out and attracts greater buyer interest.
Designed for Coastal Durability
Climate challenges require decks that resist salt air, moisture, and high winds. Our expertise ensures that every structure is engineered to thrive in demanding conditions, providing years of worry-free enjoyment. We carefully select materials and construction techniques proven to withstand harsh weather, ensuring that your investment delivers both longevity and performance.
Expanded Living Space
A deck effectively increases your usable living area. From hosting barbecues to creating private retreats, decks extend indoor comforts outdoors, offering year-round versatility. They provide a seamless transition between your home and nature, giving families more options for relaxation, entertainment, and gatherings. This extra space often becomes the heart of the household.
Customized Aesthetics
We design decks that reflect diverse architectural styles, from traditional homes to modern residences. Our customization options ensure your deck complements both your home and surroundings. Every detail—from railing choices to color schemes—can be tailored, allowing you to achieve a look that feels uniquely yours while blending with your property’s character.
Low-Maintenance Options
Composite and PVC materials are ideal for humid summers and storm-prone seasons. These options minimize maintenance while maintaining beauty, making them a popular choice for busy homeowners. They resist fading, staining, and warping, ensuring your deck retains its polished appearance for years with only minimal care.
Improved Lifestyle and Comfort
Decks create a natural hub for gatherings, relaxation, and entertainment. They provide a perfect setting to connect, unwind, and enjoy the outdoors without leaving home. Whether it’s casual family dinners, hosting friends, or quiet mornings with coffee, a deck enhances daily living by adding comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a deck in Norfolk, Virginia?
Most residential decks take two to four weeks to complete, depending on size, complexity, and weather. Norfolk’s coastal climate sometimes requires scheduling adjustments, but our team prioritizes efficiency without sacrificing quality. Larger custom projects or multi-level decks may extend the timeline, but we always provide clear schedules and regular updates so you know what to expect during construction.
What materials work best for decks in Norfolk’s climate?
Composite and pressure-treated wood are the most popular options. Composite resists moisture and fading, while treated wood provides natural aesthetics. Both are effective choices for withstanding Norfolk’s humidity and salt air. The decision often comes down to budget, maintenance preferences, and desired style, and we help homeowners weigh the pros and cons of each option.
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Norfolk?
Yes, most deck construction projects in Norfolk require permits to ensure compliance with city codes and safety standards. Our team manages the permitting process for you, simplifying the experience from start to finish. By handling inspections and paperwork, we make sure your project meets every requirement for long-term safety and durability.
How much maintenance does a deck require?
Maintenance depends on materials. Composite decks need only occasional cleaning, while wood decks benefit from annual staining or sealing. In Norfolk, maintenance helps combat humidity, mildew, and seasonal weathering. A consistent care routine not only extends your deck’s lifespan but also keeps it looking attractive year after year.
Can you design decks for waterfront properties in Norfolk?
Absolutely. Waterfront decks require specialized design to account for moisture exposure, soil stability, and storm resilience. We create custom solutions for Norfolk’s coastal homes, ensuring long-lasting performance and safety. Special materials and structural reinforcements are often used to withstand constant exposure to water and changing conditions.
What is the average cost of building a deck in Norfolk, Virginia?
Costs vary by size, design, and materials. Simple wood decks are more affordable, while composite or multi-level designs cost more. We provide transparent estimates tailored to Norfolk homeowners’ specific project goals and property needs. Every estimate includes material, labor, and finishing options so you can make informed decisions without hidden surprises.
How do I choose between wood and composite decking?
It depends on lifestyle and budget. Wood offers classic appeal but requires upkeep, while composite provides durability with minimal maintenance. For Norfolk’s climate, many homeowners prefer composite for long-term savings and convenience. Our team reviews your priorities and helps match the right option to your daily needs and long-term goals.
Can existing decks in Norfolk be remodeled or expanded?
Yes. Many Norfolk homeowners choose to remodel or expand older decks rather than replace them entirely. We evaluate your existing structure and recommend safe, cost-effective solutions that align with your vision. Whether it’s enlarging the space, adding new features, or reinforcing the foundation, remodeling can breathe new life into your outdoor area.

Testimonials
I am so glad I found Singature Deck. After looking at several companies to build a simple gazebo with electricity and being disappointed, I contacted Todd at Signature Deck. He understood exactly what I wanted and his team, prior to construction, walked me through what it would look like on my property and made some great suggestions to enhance my original vision. The project was completed on time and the area was cleaned up well. Less than a year later, a tree limb fell and damaged the roof. I contacted Todd and his guys came the next day and repaired the roof (a 3-4 hour job) only charging for materials. I would highly recommend Signature Deck based on my experience with Todd and his team.
Jeffrey C.
I hired Todd and his team to install a paver patio and vinyl pergola. I’m not only impressed with the quality and timeliness of his work but also with how fair and competitive his rates were. He created a 3D model of what I wanted within hours of speaking to him on the phone and had my project beginning less than a week after. His crew was professional, hardworking and respectful. Of all the contractors I’ve dealt with recently with my new home he was definitely the most responsive and caring! Thank you Todd! We are very excited to spend the summer on our beautiful new patio.

Geoff E.
We recently had a new deck by signature deck and pergola company. They were extremely easy to work with. Todd the owner was patient with our multiple questions. The crew were all pleasant and professional every day. Best of all we love our new deck
Catherine C.
Todd and his crew were amazing! We hired them to build a screened in porch over our newly poured concrete. We called several different companies and none of them could give us what we wanted. We wanted a screened in porch, the other companies tried to sell us glassed in rooms, costing 3-4 times the cost of the porch we wanted. The process could not have been easier, we sent in pictures of our existing concrete pad and Todd sent us back pictures of what the porch would look like, along with an estimate, including extras if we choose after the project was complete. His crew was on time and completed the work professionally. We could not be any happier with the results, it's exactly what we wanted.
