There is nothing quite like the look and feel of a real wood deck, and for a lot of Orlando homeowners it's still the perfect choice. Wood is the most budget-friendly way to add a deck, and a well-built pressure-treated or cedar deck can look stunning behind a Central Florida home. At Deck Builders Orlando, we build custom wood decks the right way — proper footings, correct joist spacing, hot-dipped galvanized or stainless hardware, and tight, clean board lines. Done right and sealed on schedule, a wood deck rewards you with warmth and character that's hard to beat.
Pressure-treated southern yellow pine is the workhorse of Florida decks — affordable, strong, and readily available. It's the go-to when you want a great deck on a tighter budget. Cedar steps things up with natural rot and insect resistance plus a gorgeous grain that takes stain beautifully. For homeowners who want premium hardwood, we can also source tropical hardwoods for high-end builds. Whatever you choose, we use corrosion-resistant fasteners rated for Florida's humidity so your deck stays tight and squeak-free for years.
We start with a free on-site estimate to measure, talk design, and recommend the right wood for your budget and look. We pull the permit, set proper concrete footings (critical in our sandy Central Florida soil), frame a rock-solid substructure, and install your decking with careful attention to board spacing for drainage and expansion. We finish railings and stairs, pass the final inspection, and can apply an initial seal or stain to protect the wood from day one. Most wood decks take about one to two weeks to build.
Wood decks are the most affordable option in Orlando, typically running $25–$40 per square foot installed for pressure-treated pine, with cedar and hardwoods costing more. Keep in mind the ongoing cost of upkeep: in Florida's climate, wood needs cleaning and resealing every one to two years to prevent rot, graying, and splintering. We'll give you an honest breakdown of up-front versus long-term cost so you can compare wood against composite and decide what's right for your family. Every quote is fixed and in writing.
Wood wins on warmth, character, and price. If you love the natural look, plan to stay on top of maintenance, or want the lowest entry cost to get outdoor living space, a custom wood deck is a fantastic choice. The key is build quality — a poorly framed wood deck fails fast in Florida. Our crews build to code and beyond, and back every wood deck with our 10-year workmanship warranty.
