What we build
From a new custom deck to a complete backyard transformation, Ludlow Deck Builders creates outdoor spaces designed around your home, lifestyle, and how you want to use your property.
Six service areas, thirty specialties, one crew. Most of our projects touch more than one of them.
An aging, damaged, or outdated deck can affect both the safety and appearance of your outdoor space. We help homeowners replace existing decks with modern, structurally sound designs built around current requirements and today’s materials.
Whether your deck needs a complete rebuild or you’re ready for a larger upgrade, we’ll help you create a safer and more functional space.
How we work
Building a new deck or transforming your backyard should feel exciting — not overwhelming. Our process is designed to give you a clear path from your first ideas through design, construction, and the final walkthrough. We take the time to understand your goals, explain your options, and help you make informed decisions about your new outdoor space.
Every project starts with a conversation about your home, your property, and how you want to use your outdoor space. We visit your home, discuss your ideas, evaluate the project area, and help you explore options for layout, materials, features, and functionality. From there, we develop a custom plan and provide a free, no-obligation estimate so you can move forward with a clearer understanding of your project.
Once your project is underway, our licensed and insured team coordinates the details needed to bring your design to life. Depending on the scope of the project, this may include planning, material selection, permitting, and construction. From custom deck installation and structural porches to pergolas and complete outdoor living spaces, we focus on quality craftsmanship, durable materials, and clear communication throughout the building process.
Before the project is complete, we walk through the finished space with you to review the work and make sure the important details have been addressed. Then comes the best part — enjoying an outdoor space designed for relaxing, entertaining, and spending more time outside. Whether we’ve built a custom deck, screened porch, patio, or complete backyard living area, our goal is to deliver a finished space that complements your home and is built for long-term use.

FAQ
1. What affects the cost of building a new deck?
The cost of a new deck depends on the size and complexity of the project, the decking material you choose, and the features included in the design. Factors such as pressure-treated wood or composite decking, multi-level layouts, deck height, stairs, railings, lighting, structural work, and permit requirements can all affect the final investment.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, evaluate the project area, and help you understand the options available. You’ll receive a detailed, no-obligation estimate based on your specific project rather than a one-size-fits-all price.
Do you build composite and Trex decks?
Yes. We design and build composite decks using Trex and other premium composite decking systems. Composite decking is a popular choice for Fairfield County homeowners because it offers the appearance of wood while requiring less ongoing maintenance than traditional wood decking.
Available colors, finishes, railing options, and design possibilities can also make composite decking a good fit for everything from a simple backyard deck to a larger custom or multi-level outdoor living space.
Are your contractors licensed and insured?
Yes. Ludlow Deck Builders works with licensed and insured Connecticut contractors and skilled local craftsmen. We’re happy to discuss the qualifications and project requirements involved in your build and provide relevant documentation before work begins.
We believe homeowners should feel confident about who is working on their property, which is why clear communication and transparency are part of our process from the initial consultation through the final walkthrough.
Which areas do you serve?
Ludlow Deck Builders serves homeowners throughout Fairfield County, Connecticut, including Stamford, Greenwich, Westport, Norwalk, Danbury, Fairfield, Darien, New Canaan, and surrounding communities.

Can you replace or rebuild my existing deck?
Yes. We can help homeowners replace aging, damaged, outdated, or no-longer-functional decks with a new structure designed for their current needs. The process begins by evaluating the existing deck and project area to determine the appropriate scope of work.
Whether you’re replacing a smaller wood deck or planning a larger upgrade with composite decking, new railings, stairs, or additional outdoor living features, we can help you develop a design that better fits your home and lifestyle.
Do you handle permits for deck construction?
Permit requirements can vary depending on the location, scope, and structural details of your project. When permits are required, we can discuss the permitting process and coordinate the appropriate steps as part of project planning.
During your consultation, we’ll explain the requirements that may apply to your specific deck, porch, or outdoor living project so you have a clearer understanding of the process before construction begins.
