Custom Deck Builder in Pittsburgh, PA

Composite decking has become the dominant choice for homeowners who want a beautiful deck without the annual sealing, staining, or painting that wood requires. Products from leading composite manufacturers are available in dozens of colors and board profiles that closely mimic natural wood grain, and they resist moisture, splintering, fading, and staining far better than pressure-treated lumber. For homeowners who prefer the look and feel of natural wood and are willing to maintain it, high-quality pressure-treated lumber remains a solid and cost-effective option.

Every deck we build starts with proper footings. Pittsburgh's winters push frost several inches into the ground, and footings that do not extend below the frost line will heave and settle over time, causing structural problems and code violations. Ireland Contracting digs and pours footings to the depth required by local code — a detail that separates a properly built deck from one that needs repair within a few years.

Our team handles the full permit process, which for decks typically includes structural drawings and inspections at footing and framing stages. We manage that process entirely — you should not have to navigate building departments or coordinate inspection scheduling on your own. When the final inspection passes, we do a walkthrough with you to confirm every detail meets your expectations. Building decks has been part of our business for more than three decades, and we take as much pride in a beautifully finished deck as we do in a perfectly installed roof.
