Deck Building in New Orleans
Building decks in New Orleans comes with unique challenges. Many homes here have elevated foundations due to flood concerns, which means your deck needs to be properly integrated with stairs and railings. Properties in historic neighborhoods like the French Quarter or Garden District often require designs that respect the architectural character of the area. We've built decks throughout the city, from raised Creole cottages near Magazine Street to modern homes in Lakeview rebuilt after Katrina. Your deck needs to handle high humidity, intense sun, and occasional flooding. We use materials and building techniques specifically chosen for New Orleans conditions, not generic solutions that might work elsewhere but fail here.
Materials That Survive New Orleans Weather
New Orleans gets about 64 inches of rain annually, plus we deal with extreme humidity that destroys untreated wood. We recommend composite decking for most projects because it won't rot, warp, or attract termites, which are common in our area. If you want natural wood for aesthetic reasons, we use marine-grade fasteners and proper sealing techniques. Many customers in Mid-City and Gentilly choose composite because maintenance is minimal. You want to spend your time enjoying your deck with a cold drink, not scraping and resealing it every spring. The right materials make your deck a long-term asset, not a constant project.
What New Orleans Homeowners Need
Most deck projects we handle in New Orleans involve elevated decks to match raised foundations. Ground-level decks work for areas with better drainage, but you need to consider water flow during heavy rains. We also do a lot of deck replacements for homes with rotted wood from moisture damage. Uptown families often want larger entertaining spaces for crawfish boils and Saints watch parties. If you're in neighborhoods near Lake Pontchartrain, your deck needs extra protection from moisture and wind. Whatever your needs, we design <Link href='/services/custom-deck-design-installation' className='text-primary hover:underline'>custom decks in New Orleans</Link> that work with your property and lifestyle.
