Custom Coastal Decks & Outdoor Living

Expanding Your Living Space from Carolina Beach to Sunset Beach.

In Coastal North Carolina, your outdoor space is just as important as your indoor space. At Nova Roofing + Construction LLC, we specialize in building custom, high-durability decks designed to withstand the salt air, intense sun, and coastal winds of the 28428 area. Whether you want a private balcony or a multi-level entertainment space, we bring 30+ years of craftsmanship to every board.

Built for the Coast: The Nova Difference

Building a deck in a beach town requires more than just a hammer and nails. Because we are Licensed NC General Contractors, we build to a higher standard:

  • Hurricane-Rated Hardware: We use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners and "hurricane ties" to ensure your deck stays anchored during high-wind events.

  • Structural Integrity: We ensure footings are poured to depth and framing is oversized to handle the unique soil conditions of our barrier islands.

  • Seamless Integration: As exterior experts, we make sure your deck integrates perfectly with your siding and gutters, preventing water from ever reaching your home's rim joist.

Why Choose Nova for Your New Deck?

Engineering Outdoor Excellence Since 1996

Building a deck in Carolina Beach or Sunset Beach is vastly different than building one inland. Between the shifting sandy soil and the corrosive salt air, you need a contractor who understands coastal engineering. At Nova Roofing + Construction LLC, we combine 30+ years of local experience with premium materials to build decks that last a generation.
 
  • Coastal-Strength Engineering We don't just build to code; we build to withstand. We use oversized footings and specialized Hurricane Ties to ensure your deck remains anchored even during severe coastal weather events.
 
  • Licensed General Contractors Many "deck builders" are just handymen. As a Licensed NC General Contractor, we have the authority to pull the necessary permits and the expertise to ensure your deck is structurally sound and compliant with all local 28428 building regulations.
  • Salt-Air Resistant Hardware Standard screws and brackets don't last here. We utilize 316-grade stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners that resist the "pitting" and rust caused by the Atlantic salt spray.
  • Family-Owned Craftsmanship Because we are family-owned, our name is on every project. We take pride in our "Total Home Transformation" philosophy, ensuring your deck looks like a natural part of your home, not an afterthought.

The Benefits of a Nova Custom Deck
When you choose Nova Roofing + Construction LLC for your decking project, you are investing in more than just a place to put a grill. A professionally built deck provides long-term value and safety for your coastal home.
 
  • Seamlessly Expand Your Living Space: Our custom designs allow you to blend your indoor and outdoor life. By creating a functional floor plan that flows from your back door, we provide your family with a "total home transformation" that makes your property feel larger and more inviting.
  • Enjoy Maintenance-Free Living: In the 28428 area, the sun and salt can be brutal on wood. We offer premium composite decking options, such as Trex or Azek, which eliminate the need for annual staining, sanding, or sealing. These materials stay beautiful for decades without the hard labor.
​​​​​​​
  • Maximize Your Property Value: A professional, high-quality deck is one of the top features home buyers look for in the Carolina Beach and Sunset Beach markets. By using a Licensed General Contractor, you ensure the work is permitted and up to code, which is a major selling point and a boost to your home's resale value.
​​​​​​​
  • Unmatched Safety and Security: Safety is our priority. Every railing, stair stringer, and support post we install is built to the highest safety standards. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your deck is secure for children, pets, and large gatherings, even on elevated beach-front lots.
​​​​​​​
  • Complete Custom Integration: Because we specialize in complete coastal exteriors, we don't just stop at the floorboards. We can integrate custom lighting, built-in seating, pergolas, and matching fencing to create a cohesive outdoor oasis that perfectly matches your home's siding and style.

The Licensed Advantage

Why hiring a Licensed Contractor matters in NC

In North Carolina, hiring a licensed professional ensures that your project follows strict building codes and safety regulations. For coastal homes, this is critical—improperly installed roofing can void your insurance. With Nova, you get the security of a team that is vetted, tested, and state-authorized.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a building permit for a new deck in Carolina Beach?
Yes. In North Carolina, any deck that is attached to a house, more than 30 inches above the ground, or over a certain square footage requires a building permit. Because we are Licensed General Contractors, Nova Roofing + Construction LLC handles the entire permitting process, ensuring your deck meets all 28428 local coastal codes and safety regulations.

How long does a deck last in a coastal environment?
The lifespan depends heavily on the material. A pressure-treated wood deck typically lasts 10–15 years in our humid, salty air. However, high-quality composite decking often comes with a 25-to-30-year warranty against fading and staining, making it the most durable choice for homes near the ocean.

What is the best material for a low-maintenance deck?
We highly recommend Composite Decking (like Trex or Azek). It is specifically engineered to withstand the intense UV rays and salt spray of the NC coast. It won't splinter, warp, or rot, and it never needs to be sanded, stained, or painted—just an occasional wash with soap and water.

Can you build a deck that can withstand high winds and hurricanes?
While no structure is entirely "hurricane-proof," we build our decks to be "Hurricane-Ready." We utilize specialized hardware, including stainless steel fasteners and structural hurricane ties, to secure the deck to your home and the ground. This minimizes the risk of uplift or collapse during severe coastal storms.

Can you "reskin" my old deck if the frame is still good?
Often, yes! If your deck’s support structure (the joists and beams) is still structurally sound and rot-free, we can save you money by removing the old surface boards and railings and replacing them with new wood or composite. We always perform a rigorous safety inspection of the existing frame before recommending this option.

How long does it take to build a custom deck?
Most standard deck projects are completed within 1 to 2 weeks once the materials arrive and permits are issued. Larger, multi-level transformations or those with custom features like sunrooms or pergolas may take longer. We provide a clear timeline before any work begins.

Do you offer financing for outdoor living projects?
Yes. We believe every family should have a beautiful space to enjoy the coastal weather. We offer flexible financing options for our decking, fencing, and sunroom services to help fit your total home transformation into your monthly budget.
