Deck Building
Deck Builder in Melbourne, FL
A Florida deck lives a hard life: sun, storms, humidity, and salt air riding the sea breeze. Building one that stays solid and beautiful is a materials-and-fasteners game as much as a design one.
Decks built for Florida, not against it.
Strong Tower builds and rebuilds decks across Melbourne and Brevard County — framing engineered for the climate, hardware rated for the coast, and surfaces chosen for bare feet in August. From a simple grilling deck to a full outdoor living build-out with pergola and privacy screening.
Wood or composite: the honest comparison
Pressure-treated pine costs less up front and asks for maintenance; composite costs more and mostly asks to be rinsed. Sun exposure, budget, and how you use the space decide it — we lay out the trade-offs without pushing either way.
The parts you cannot see decide the lifespan
Footings, framing spans, joist protection, flashing at the ledger, and fastener grade determine whether a deck is solid at year ten. We build that layer as carefully as the surface you walk on.
Permits and inspections, handled honestly
Deck work in Brevard County typically involves permitting — requirements vary by city and scope, and we confirm the specifics with the local building department as part of planning, not as an afterthought.
Rescue for aging decks
Plenty of Melbourne decks need rescue rather than replacement: new boards over sound framing, railing rebuilds, or partial reframing where moisture won. We tell you which situation you have.
Frequently asked questions
Wood or composite — which should I choose?

Do decks need permits in Brevard County?
Typically yes, and requirements vary by city and scope. We confirm the specifics with the local building department during planning and build the schedule around inspections properly.
Can you repair an aging deck instead of replacing it?
Often — new boards over sound framing, railing rebuilds, or partial reframing where moisture won. We assess the structure honestly and tell you which situation you actually have.
