Old deck falling apart? We repair and rebuild existing decks, replacing rotted boards, weak joists, and worn-out railings to make it safe and solid again.

Built With Quality Materials
We work with a range of decking materials to match your budget, style, and maintenance preferences. Every material we use is selected for durability in North Carolina’s climate.
- Pressure-treated lumber — affordable, strong, and proven
- Cedar and redwood — natural beauty with natural resistance to rot
- Composite decking — low maintenance, long-lasting, no painting or staining
- Black metal and aluminum railings — modern look, zero maintenance
- Heavy-duty posts and joists — we use bigger dimensions for a stronger, more durable deck
“David Vaughn and his builders did a tremendous job building our new deck. They used bigger dimensions on the posts and joists making it stronger and more durable. We really like the black metal railing and the corner steps makes the deck look and feel bigger. We highly recommend VHI!”
— John Edwards
