Custom decks, built to last.
Decks in Orange County, NY.
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 (845) 234-9871 or request an estimate — we don't believe in pressure sales.
Composite or wood?
Composite costs more upfront but needs no staining and carries 25–30 year fade warranties. Pressure-treated wood is economical; we recommend composite for low maintenance.
How long does a deck build take?
Typical single-level deck: 1–2 weeks including footing cure time and inspections. Multi-level or composite builds may run 2–3 weeks.
Do you pull permits?
Yes. Decks over a certain height and all structural builds require permits in Orange County. We handle drawings, permits, and inspections.
Can you rebuild over old framing?
Only if the ledger, joists, and footings pass inspection. About 30% of re-deck calls need partial framing replacement — we tell you before we start.
