What Our Customers Say About Working With Us

Don’t just take our word for it—hear from your neighbors

Mauricio and the crew from Delmarva decking did a wonderful job replacing our front porch in Lewes. He stayed in contact throughout the entire process, showed up when they said they would and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend Delmarva Decking for your new or replacement decking.

Jack A., Lewes, DE

I’ve got a place in Lewes and our deck was over 20 years old and falling apart. If you’re from Sussex County, you know how hard it is to get anyone to call you back or actually show up, but Delmarva Decking did everything they said they would. They answered the phone, showed up when they said they would, and the deck turned out awesome. Great price, great crew, and just an all-around easy experience. Definitely recommend them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Deck Building Services

Get the answers you’re looking for from Delaware’s trusted deck contractor

Honest answer? It depends on size, materials, and complexity. That said, most custom composite or PVC decks in coastal Delaware range from $35-65 per square foot installed. A typical 300 sq ft deck runs $10,500-$19,500.

The best way to know? Call us for a free estimate. We’ll visit your property, listen to what you want, and give you a realistic number—not some lowball quote that doubles once we start.

Yes! We provide free, no-obligation estimates throughout Sussex County. Whether you’re in Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Bethany Beach, or anywhere in Sussex County, we’ll come to you.

During the estimate, we’ll:

  • Measure your space and assess the site
  • Discuss your vision and how you plan to use the deck
  • Show you material samples and explain the pros/cons
  • Answer all your questions (even the ones you think are dumb—they’re not)
  • Provide a detailed written quote with no hidden surprises

Call (302) 703-7330 or fill out our online form to schedule.

After 15+ years building decks near the ocean, we’ve learned what holds up and what doesn’t.

Our top recommendations for coastal Delaware:

Best Overall: PVC Decking

  • Stays cooler underfoot in summer
  • Won’t absorb moisture (critical for ocean environments)
  • Never needs staining or sealing
  • 50-year warranty that actually means something
  • Superior traction when wet
  • Great for pool decks and high-traffic areas

Best Value: Composite

  • Looks like real wood without the maintenance
  • Excellent fade and stain resistance
  • Perfect for Bethany Beach vacation rentals

What We Don’t Recommend: Standard pressure-treated wood. It’s cheap, but it warps, splinters, and needs constant maintenance in our humid, salty climate.

Most residential deck projects take 1-3 weeks from start to finish, depending on:

  • Size and complexity
  • Weather (we can’t pour footings in a downpour)
  • Material availability
  • Permit approval timeline

Screened porches typically take 2-4 weeks because there’s more involved.

During your free estimate, we’ll give you a realistic timeline specific to your project. And unlike some contractors, we actually stick to it (or we’ll tell you if something changes).

Absolutely. Delmarva Decking is:

  • ✓ Fully licensed in Delaware
  • ✓ Bonded and insured (general liability + workers’ comp)
  • ✓ Member of the Home Builders Association of Delaware (HBADE)
  • ✓ Member of Lewes Chamber of Commerce
  • ✓ Member of Rehoboth-Dewey Chamber of Commerce
  • ✓ A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau

We’re not some fly-by-night operation working out of a pickup truck. We’re a legitimate business that’ll still be here when you need us down the road.

Almost always, yes. Most deck construction in Delaware requires permits, especially if it’s:

  • Attached to your house
  • Over 30 inches above grade
  • Larger than 200 square feet

Each town has slightly different requirements:

  • Rehoboth Beach: Strict architectural review in some neighborhoods
  • Lewes: Historical district may have additional restrictions
  • Bethany Beach: Setback requirements vary by zone

Good news? We handle all the permit paperwork for you. It’s included in our service, and we know exactly what each municipality wants to see.

We work year-round in Sussex County!

In fact, fall and winter often provide ideal conditions for deck building:

  • Lower humidity (better for materials and installation)
  • More flexible scheduling (less competition for our crew)
  • Your deck is ready to enjoy the moment spring hits

The only thing that stops us? Frozen ground (can’t dig footings) or extreme conditions. But that’s rare in Delaware.

Honestly? Not much. They’re mostly used interchangeably.

“Deck builder” usually emphasizes the construction/craftsmanship side. “Deck contractor” emphasizes the business/professional service side.

At Delmarva Decking, we’re both. We’re craftsmen who take pride in the physical work and professional contractors who handle permits, scheduling, communication, and standing behind our work.

Some companies are general contractors who “also do decks.” We’re the opposite—we ONLY do decks, porches, and outdoor structures. It’s all we do, which means we’re really good at it.

Fair question. Here’s what makes us different:

We’re specialists. We don’t do roofing, siding, or kitchens. Just decks and porches. All day, every day.

We’re local. Not a franchise. Not out-of-state crews. We live in Sussex County and we’ll still be here in 10 years.

We actually communicate. We answer our phones. We show up when we say we will. We keep you updated. Radical, we know.

We use the right materials. No cutting corners with cheap wood that’ll rot in 5 years. We use materials built for Delaware weather.

We care about the details. Straight boards. Level railings. Clean cuts. The stuff that separates “good enough” from “wow, that looks great.”

But don’t take our word for it. Check out our Google reviews, ask around in your neighborhood, or call us for a free estimate. We’ll earn your business the old-fashioned way—by being good at what we do.
