Why Choose Hunters Service Pros as Your Deck Contractor?

You deserve a deck that’s built right the first time—no shortcuts, no surprises. At Hunters Service Pros, we’re not fly-by-night crews; we’re a local, family-owned team with years of obsessive craftsmanship under our belts. Every deck gets the owner’s eyes on it, premium materials hand-selected for your climate, and a workmanship warranty most builders even won’t touch. We handle permits, HOA headaches, and cleanup so you don’t lift a finger.

When it comes to transforming your backyard into a stunning, functional oasis, selecting the right deck contractor is crucial—after all, this isn't just about adding square footage; it's about creating a space that enhances your lifestyle for years to come. At Hunters Service Pros, we stand out in a crowded field of contractors by prioritizing unwavering craftsmanship, exceptional customer service, and a commitment to excellence that goes beyond the basics. As a local, family-owned business with over 18 years of hands-on experience in deck building and finishing, we've honed our skills through hundreds of projects, earning a reputation for delivering decks that aren't just built—they're masterfully crafted to withstand time, weather, and everyday use. Our philosophy is simple: no shortcuts, no surprises, and no settling for "good enough." Every project receives the personal attention of our owners, ensuring that from the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, your vision is realized with precision and care.

Let's dive deeper into our craftsmanship. We believe that true quality starts with the materials we select. Unlike generic builders who opt for the cheapest options, we hand-pick premium, climate-appropriate woods like durable cedar or exotic ipe, or low-maintenance composites from trusted brands such as Trex and TimberTech. Our team of certified craftsmen—many with specialized training as TrexPro installers—employs time-tested techniques combined with modern innovations, like hidden fastener systems for seamless aesthetics and reinforced framing for superior structural integrity. We don't just assemble decks; we engineer them. For instance, our multi-level designs incorporate custom railings, built-in benches, and integrated lighting, all executed with meticulous attention to detail. This level of craftsmanship means your deck won't warp, fade, or fail prematurely—backed by our industry-leading 5-year structural warranty that covers everything from joists to joints, giving you peace of mind that far exceeds the standard one-year guarantees offered by competitors.

But craftsmanship alone isn't enough; it's our white-glove service that truly sets us apart and keeps clients coming back (and referring their friends). From the moment you reach out, you'll experience our dedication to making the process effortless and enjoyable. We offer same-week quotes with no obligation. Our in-house teams handle every aspect—no subcontractors means consistent quality control and accountability at every step. We navigate the headaches for you, from securing permits and managing HOA approvals to coordinating with utility companies for safe digging. During construction, we maintain a clean, respectful job site, minimizing disruption to your daily life, and we wrap up with a thorough cleanup that leaves your yard spotless. Post-project, our service doesn't end; we're available for follow-ups, maintenance tips, and even seasonal touch-ups to keep your deck looking pristine.

Choosing Hunters Service Pros means partnering with a contractor who's invested in your satisfaction long-term. We're not here for quick jobs; we're building relationships and legacies. If you're ready for a deck that's as beautifully crafted as it is brilliantly serviced—the last contractor you'll ever need—let's connect today.

Types of Decks We Install:

Composite Decking Installations:

Composite decking is the hassle-free upgrade every homeowner secretly wants. It looks like real wood but never needs staining, sealing, or sanding—ever. Just rinse and relax. Built with UV blockers and mold-resistant capping, it shrugs off sun, rain, and snow for 25–50 years with zero rot, splinters, or fading. Hidden fasteners deliver clean, screw-free beauty, while cooler surfaces and 95% recycled materials make it barefoot- and eco-friendly. Bottom line: higher resale value, lower lifetime cost, and way more time actually enjoying your deck.

Hunters Service Pros is Connecticut's premier choice to get every decking detail perfect. We’ve built countless flawless composite decks with zero warranty claims. Ready for a gorgeous, maintenance-free deck that lasts a lifetime? Contact us today for your free design consult and same-week quote.

Pressure-Treated Decking Installations:

Pressure-treated decking is the budget-friendly classic that still beats anything in raw strength and value. Southern yellow pine is infused with eco-safe preservatives that fight rot, termites, and fungal decay for 20–30 years—even in ground contact. It’s the toughest, most affordable way to get a real-wood deck that can handle heavy grills, hot tubs, and rowdy kids without flinching. Warm, natural beauty that ages to silver-gray or stays vibrant with one coat of stain every few years. Pair it with hidden fasteners and galvanized hardware, and you’ve got timeless charm at half the price of composite.

Hunters Service Pros uses premium #1-grade lumber and double-hot-dipped joist hangers that last. We overbuild every span, flash every ledger, and back it with our workmanship warranty. Want rock-solid wood that won’t break the bank? Contact us today for a free same-week quote - your bulletproof backyard starts here.

Frequently Asked Questions About Deck Building and Finishing

How long does it take to build a new deck?

Most standard 12x16 to 20x20 decks take 5–10 business days from groundbreaking to final walkthrough. Composite decks with custom features (lighting, pergolas, curved edges) can run 2–3 weeks. We provide a firm timeline upfront and stick to it—weather permitting.

When is the best time to stain or paint a new pressure-treated deck?

Wait 4–12 weeks after installation for the lumber to dry out completely. Staining too early traps moisture and causes peeling. We test moisture content on-site and only apply premium penetrating oils or solid stains when the wood is ready for maximum absorption and longevity.

How often should I re-stain or re-seal my deck?

In Connecticut, plan on re-staining every 2–3 years for transparent or semi-transparent finishes, and every 4–5 years for solid-color stains. Composite decks never need staining—just an occasional wash. If you want to keep your deck fresh and protected, shorten the timeframes.

How much does a new deck cost in Connecticut?

Pressure-treated pine decks start at $50 per square foot installed. Composite (Trex/TimberTech) ranges $90 per square foot, depending on railing style and add-ons. Every quote includes permits, removal of old deck if needed, and our warranty—zero hidden fees, upsells, or add-ons.

Do you handle permits and HOA approvals?

Yes, 100%. We pull all required permits and manage every HOA requirement (if needed) from start to finish. You never deal with the paperwork—we do. Keep in mind, if we are direct-replacing what you already have, no town permit is needed. Permits are required when building new. Regardless, you do nothing.
