Wood Deck Construction
A custom built wood deck is an excellent way to get more enjoyment out of your property and increase it's value at the same time. Many decks today are built out of wood because it’s affordable, readily available, and it's easy for your builder to work with depending on the type of wood you choose.
The most affordable and commonly used type of wood for decking would be pressure treated lumber. However, there are other more exotic choices too if you’re wanting to build your deck out of popular redwood, cedar or the even more luxurious Ipe.

Marc and Tony are very talented professionals. Real detail men. They have done numerous major remodeling projects in and around my home. They are punctual, courteous, and clean up at the end of their workday. I consider them friends.
Being in the construction business (Electrical contractor & generator dealer)for 35+ years with perfect reviews one of the things I’ve learned is think long term. Both Mark and Tony are the best carpenters I’ve run across, they are extremely versatile and can do anything from design, build and install. They just completed multiple projects around my house including custom designed cabinets, decks, tile, trim, framing and painting. Inspectors said whoever did my work were perfectionists, not one thing wrong! Their pricing is honest but seeing their work I believe I saved money long term.(Doing it once and do it right) I guarantee you will be completely satisfied with their work, a rarity today. My happy wife and I would give them 10 stars if possible.
Over the past eight years, Marc and Tony have completed multiple home improvement tasks in our house. Their custom built cabinet tranformed our bathroom!

Difference Types Of Wood For Building Decks
Pressure Treated Decking: The most common decking material. It’s very resistant to rot and insects and it also withstands moisture very well. Because of it's availability it's also the most affordable material. Even on more expensive decks pressure treated is often used as the deck framing.
Pressure treated wood doesn’t necessarily need to be painted if you like the dark brown, or dark green color variations that it comes in. Most pressure treated decking material is milled from southern yellow pine. Specialized Carpentry can build you a deck out of pressure treated lumber throughout the New Haven County area.
Redwood & Cedar Decking: If you want the finest material and budget isn’t an issue then redwood or red cedar are great choices for your new deck. Both of these western softwoods are highly sought after for their deep rich colors and natural beauty. Both of these wood species actually contain tannins and oils that help them naturally resist rot, decay, and wood boring insects without having to be treated with harmful chemicals. The crew at Specialized Carpentry are cedar decking experts!
Ipe Decking: Also known as Brazilian Walnut or Ironwood, Ipe pronounced (Ee-pay) is beautiful looking exotic wood from South America. Ipe is naturally very resistant to rot, abrasion & weather which makes it a good candidate for a deck in our Connecticut climate. Ipe’s great looks and performance don’t come without cost however as it’s more expensive than Cedar. Ipe is definitely not a budget deck material but it is one of the best.
If there was just one single exterior home improvement any Connecticut homeowner could make to their home, that would enhance both the look and property value it would be the addition of a new custom wood deck. Not just any old deck will do however, and there are several things you need to consider before you get to work building your deck. That’s why choosing an experienced team like Specialized Carpentry is your best choice!
