Our Story

How We Approach Every Deck

We build, repair and refinish decks for homeowners in and around Davenport. Most of what we do comes down to fighting the same two things, Florida sun and Florida rain, both of which go after wood and fasteners the moment the work is done.

If you're on this page, chances are a board has gone soft, a post is leaning, or you're staring at bare dirt behind the house and picturing something better. We start every repair by checking the framing underneath, not just the boards you can see, because a deck that looks fine on top can still have a joist rotted through where it meets the ledger. On new builds we set footings below grade to code depth, use galvanized joist hangers rated for treated lumber, and space boards to allow for how much composite and wood actually move in this heat.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

We hold a contractor's license and liability insurance covering the work, and can send certificates before you sign anything. That's what protects you if something goes wrong on your property during the build.

Written Quotes

Every quote lists the lumber or composite brand, fastener type and labor separately, so you know what you're paying for. No verbal estimates that turn into a different number on invoice day.

Permit Handling

Deck permits in Polk County require footing depth and railing height to meet code, and we handle that paperwork instead of leaving it on you. We schedule the inspector so the job doesn't stall waiting on a callback.

Own Crew

We don't hand the job off to a rotating set of subcontractors. The people framing your deck are the same ones who walked your yard and took measurements.

On-Time Scheduling

Florida rain in July can push a schedule a day or two, and we'll tell you when that happens instead of going quiet. Otherwise we work the days we said we would.

Cleanup Included

Deck scraps, sawdust and packaging leave with us the same day, not weeks later. We sweep the yard and driveway before we ask you to look at the finished deck.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about how we work and who does the actual building.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck building is the core focus of this business, not a side offering alongside a dozen other trades. That focus means more time spent on footings, framing and materials specific to decks rather than general carpentry.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
The crew that measures and quotes a deck project is the same crew that frames and finishes it. Work doesn't get handed off to subcontractors partway through the job.
Can I see examples of decks you've built?
Photos of completed decks are available on request, including repairs and new builds around Davenport. Examples similar to a specific project, like composite decking, a screened porch or a multi-level design, can be pulled up on request.
Why choose a smaller deck builder instead of a large contracting company?
A smaller deck-focused crew means the person quoting a job is usually the same person building it, so nothing gets lost between the estimate and what happens on site. Decisions about materials, framing changes or scheduling don't have to pass through several layers of a larger company.
Where are you based?
Neighborly Deck Co is based in Davenport, Florida, and works throughout the surrounding Polk County area. Being local means a faster response for repairs and a better understanding of how the climate and local code affect deck construction.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Availability shifts with the season, with spring and fall typically busier for new deck builds. Repair work usually gets scheduled faster than new construction since it takes less time on site.
Do you clean up the job site when you're done?
Cutoffs, sawdust, old decking material and packaging all get hauled away the same day a job wraps up. The yard and driveway get swept before a job is called finished.
What happens if something on my property gets damaged during the work?
Liability insurance covers accidental property damage during deck construction or repair, and any issue gets addressed directly instead of left for the homeowner to sort out. This is one reason licensing and insurance matter when hiring a contractor for exterior work.
Will you finish a deck that another contractor started or abandoned?
Taking over a partially built or abandoned deck is workable, starting with an inspection of what's already framed to check whether the footings, posts and ledger connection meet code. Existing work sometimes has to come out before continuing, which gets explained before any new work starts.
How can I tell if a deck is being built correctly?
A properly built deck has footings poured below grade to the required depth, a ledger board that's bolted and flashed rather than just nailed, and railings that meet local height and baluster spacing code. A permitted deck also gets inspected by the county at the framing stage, which serves as a built-in check on the work.
