Green Acres builds custom wood and composite decks in Wilmington, DE and New Castle County, with built-in benches, custom railings and stairs sized to your home. We handle design, construction and deck repair.
A deck lasts when the footings, framing and flashing are right, so we build the structure first and the finish second.

Wood costs less up front and has a natural look, but needs regular staining or sealing. Composite costs more initially, resists fading, splintering and rot, and needs only cleaning. Think about how much maintenance you want and how long you plan to stay in the home.
Most municipalities require a building permit and inspections for new decks, especially attached or elevated ones. Rules differ by town and HOA. We confirm the requirements for your address, and the permit process usually includes footing and framing inspections before the decking goes down.
Size and height, decking and railing materials, footings, stairs, built-in benches, lighting, shape complexity, site access, and permits all matter. A low platform deck costs differently from a tall, multi-level one. We quote in writing after measuring and discussing materials with you.
Yes. We repair loose boards, damaged railings, failing stairs and structural wear. If the framing or footings are too far gone for repair to make sense, we will tell you that and quote a replacement so you can compare both options before deciding.
Footings should extend below the local frost line so freezing soil does not lift the deck, and their size depends on the load they carry. The required depth is set by local code, and we build to the code and inspection requirements that apply for your address.
