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.

Beauty starts underneath.

A great-looking deck deserves careful work beneath the boards. Our new deck builds include these four details:

Raised concrete piers with standoff post bases

Stone beneath the deck

Joist tape applied before the decking

Construction progress photos

We plan the footing connections and water management for your site, then document the work behind the finished deck.

See What Goes Beneath Your Deck

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 Brett to review the project scope, materials and construction details.

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

A calmer way to plan a better deck.

Premium work feels better before construction starts. The B&B process is built around clear decisions, practical design guidance and steady communication.

Site consultation

We review access, ledger attachment, footings, framing, railings, drainage, coastal exposure, code needs and how your family wants to use the space.

Design and materials

We compare deck boards, railings, stairs, lighting, skirting and covered options before the scope is locked in.

Build plan

You get a clear plan for budget, schedule, permits and project details so there are fewer surprises once work begins.

Owner led install

Brett stays involved through construction, final details and the walkthrough so the finished deck matches the plan.

Repair and planning

Find the right path for an existing deck.

Worn boards and unsafe framing need different scopes. Start with the condition of your deck before selecting the finish materials.

 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!

Do you build new decks and replace old decks?

Yes. B&B Decks builds new custom composite decks and replaces aging wood decks, including stairs, railings, framing concerns, and material upgrades.

Why does local planning matter in Hampton Roads?

Coastal humidity, heavy rain, shade, salt air, soil conditions, and older framing can all affect the way a deck should be designed, fastened, drained, and inspected.

Can B&B help with permits or HOA planning?

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?

Start with a walkthrough. Brett can review visible condition, structure, stairs, railings, ledger attachment, drainage, and your goals before recommending repair, resurfacing, or replacement.
