Deck Builder in Ghent, Norfolk, VA
B&B Decks builds custom composite decks, Trex decks, and complete deck replacements for homeowners in Ghent — one of Norfolk’s most historic and architecturally distinct neighborhoods. Ghent’s character homes require outdoor living designs that feel like a natural extension of the home rather than an afterthought.
B&B Decks works with Ghent homeowners to select composite materials, colors, and railing styles that complement the neighborhood’s historic character while delivering the low-maintenance performance that modern composite decking provides.
Composite Decks Designed for Ghent’s Historic Character
Ghent is one of Norfolk’s most distinctive neighborhoods — a mix of early 20th century architecture, tree-lined streets, and character homes that define the neighborhood’s identity. A deck in Ghent needs to respect that character.
Composite decking in warmer natural tones — Trex Transcend Rope Swing, Lava Rock, or TimberTech’s Natural White Oak — pairs naturally with Ghent’s brick, craftsman, and colonial revival home exteriors. Combined with classic black or white railing systems, the result is an outdoor space that feels intentional rather than added on.
B&B Decks will walk you through color and railing pairings during your free consultation — helping you choose materials that enhance rather than detract from Ghent’s architectural character.
