Hampton Roads' Go-To Custom Deck Builder

Owner-led composite decks and full deck replacements, with structural integrity, drainage and material details planned for Coastal Virginia's humidity, salt air and storms.

Local deck expertise from the structure up.

B&B Decks plans custom composite decks, full replacements, railings, stairs, covered spaces and front entries around the conditions local homes actually face. We look beyond the surface to the ledger, footings, framing, connections, drainage and corrosion exposure, then finish the project so it looks built into the home and holds up to Hampton Roads heat, humidity, salt air and heavy rain.

Structural integrity from footings to railings

Coastal-rated fastener and moisture planning

Owner-led finish work and oversight

Your local deck expert, involved from the first walkthrough to the final board.

B&B Decks is led by Brett Mathis, a veteran and deck builder with 25 years of hands-on experience. Brett personally reviews the structural condition, coastal exposure and finish details that determine whether a deck will stay strong, drain properly and age well. Homeowners work directly with a focused local deck company, not a call center or a general crew trying to do everything.

"I build decks for the long term. We look for the problem areas first, then build the details that protect the finished project."

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brett and his team from B&B Deck Builders did an outstanding job on repairing the sub floor of our 2003 sunroom.  They not only repaired the wood they braced, blocked and glued down all the foundation joists.  They are truly carpenter professionals. They did all this in one day and provided this service at an extremely affordable price. This is the same kind of outstanding support and craftsmanship that they used on our 12 x 27’ deck that they built in the summer of 2024. We highly B & B Deck Builders for all your carpenter and decking needs!

Yes. B&B helps homeowners plan around permit and HOA requirements. Requirements vary by city, neighborhood, and project scope, so final details are confirmed during the estimate process.

Which decking brands do you install?

B&B installs major composite and PVC decking products including Trex, TimberTech, Wolf Serenity, Fiberon, Deckorators, MoistureShield, WearDeck, and other options when they fit the project.

What should I do if I am not sure whether to repair or replace my deck?
