Our Deck Design and Consultation Services

Services

Expert planning and design guidance to bring your ideal outdoor space to life.

Consultation and Goal Setting

Our deck design and consultation process starts with a focused meeting about your space, goals, and budget. Every design decision in our deck consultation services flows from this conversation.

3D Modeling and Layout Planning

We produce detailed 3D deck models so you can review every angle and material before work begins. Revisions are made until the layout reflects exactly what you want.

Foundation and Structural Planning

We plan your foundation around helical piers or traditional concrete footings based on site conditions. Framing uses pressure treated LVL, KDAT lumber, and products from Fortress Building Products and TimberTech.

Material and Style Selection

Our deck design services cover composite and PVC options from Trex, TimberTech, Deckorators, MoistureShield, and YellaWood. We walk you through every surface, railing, and finish option to match your goals.

Underdeck Systems

Panel-based, gutter-and-channel, snap-in, and custom fabricated options are incorporated into the design process. Finished spaces can serve as an outdoor living room, storage area, entertainment hub, or shingle-roofed enclosure.

Styles of Decks

Platform, Raised, and Freestanding Decks

Platform decks suit flat lots, raised decks handle sloped sites, and freestanding decks offer flexible independent placement. Skirting options include lattice skirting, vinyl skirting, composite deck skirting, and horizontal or vertical boards.

Multi-Level Decks

Multi-level decks zone outdoor space into areas for dining, lounging, and gathering. Each level carries its own railing profile and surface layout.

Curved Decks and Privacy Screens

Curved decks add organic flow and architectural distinction to any property. Privacy screens use solid wood panels, faux stone panels, or stone and brick skirting.

Cantilevered and Rooftop Decks

Cantilevered decks extend beyond their support without visible posts. Rooftop decks maximize unused overhead space for elevated outdoor living.

Screened Porch and Covered Deck

Screened porches and covered decks block insects, rain, and direct sun. Both integrate cleanly with your home's existing architecture.

Pool and Spa Decks

Pool and spa decks prioritize drainage, slip resistance, and moisture-tolerant materials. Every detail is planned to keep the space safe and visually cohesive.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently replaced our pressure treated wood deck and hired Top South Decks & Porches to built the frame in Feb. As we handled permit, demolish, and decking/guardrail ourselves, the review is about deck frame and customer service only. It is an overall very pleasant experience with Federico and his crew.

Pros: Federico is very knowledgeable about his work. He replied most of my email/text within 24 hours, answered all my questions, and communicated everything clearly. His quote is competitive and outlined all the works to be done. His crew is very efficient and had the work done quickly. He also stopped by multiple times to address our concerns in a timely manner. He stood behind his word and replaced a splitting post after the job is completed.

Cons: Because the crew got things done fairly quick, they did not pay much attention to material selection. We saw the scrapped cut post is of better quality than the piece used. I also found a few nails near the worksite after the crew left.

Again, Top South Decks & Porches got the job done as expected and honored the warranty. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a decent deck builder.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. INCREDIBLE experience with Federico & team over at Top South! We had an old sinking sunroom from the 80s, and they completely transformed it! Federico was a great communicator along the way and was the best problem solver when it came to our older home. They provided us with detailed renderings and provided plenty of material options/recommendations. The best part is he is a licensed and professional contractor, so you know everything is being done right with integrity. They made the permitting process so easy. When getting a job like this done, you have to trust your team and we definitely did! THANK YOU again!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an excellent experience with Top South D&P. They redid our master bathroom shower, transformed a half bath into a full bath, and painted our entire house. The quality of their work is outstanding. They are incredibly thorough, keep everything clean and well-contained, and are some of the hardest workers we’ve ever worked with. Federico and his crew are extremely responsive and truly take pride in what they do. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Top South D&P to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality construction work.
