Custom Decks · Montgomery & Bucks County, PA
Your deck builder in Montgomery County and Bucks County, PA
Custom Ipe, cedar and composite decks, drawn by hand for your home and built by the same family-owned team that designed them.
More than an addition
A deck that works as another room of your home
A well-built deck is where summer evenings happen: dinner outside, friends on the stairs, the grill going while the kids run the yard. It is an extension of your living space, and it should feel like it belongs to your house.
Paul Construction & Awning has been designing and building custom decks across Montgomery County and Bucks County since 1994. Founder Paul J. Salassa is an architect, designer and builder, and every deck starts with him listening to how you want to use it.
From there, we handle the design, the permitting and the construction in-house, so one team is accountable for the result.
- Hand-drawn custom designs, never a template
- Built to local building codes with proven installation methods
- Backed by our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee
Materials
Hardwood or composite, chosen for how you live
We will show you how each option looks, wears and is maintained, then help you pick the one that fits your home.
01
Ipe hardwood
A premium hardwood for homeowners who want a natural wood deck at its finest. Paul has been designing and building Ipe decks for more than 30 years.
02
Cedar
A natural wood deck with a classic look. Cedar is one of the hardwoods we build with, and it pairs naturally with a cedar pergola overhead.
03
Wolf and Fiberon
Low-maintenance deck boards for homeowners who want a surface that still suits the architecture of the house.
What we build
Decks designed for the way you use your yard
Every design fits the home’s architecture and the way your family spends time outside.
Multi-level entertaining decks
Separate levels for dining, lounging and grilling, so a crowd can spread out and still feel together.
Pool decks
Decks that connect the house to the pool, with room to sit in the sun or under a pergola.
Decks with outdoor kitchens
Grill stations and bars planned into the deck from the start, so cooking and company share one space.
Decks with shade structures
Pergolas, gazebos and roof structures built with the deck, so you have shade and shelter where you sit.
Stairs and railings
Stairs, landings and railings that are safe, solid underfoot and finished to match the rest of the design.
Backyard retreats
A simpler deck, sized for a quiet morning coffee or an evening read, built with the same care as our largest projects.

Decks in Montgomery and Bucks County take humid summers, freezing winters and everything in between. We choose materials that stand up to that range and build to the local codes that govern footings, framing and railings.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Paul Construction a reliable deck builder?
We have designed and built decks across Montgomery and Bucks County since 1994. Every deck is hand-drawn for your home, built in-house to local codes and backed by our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee.
What is the process of building a custom deck?
It starts with a consultation at your home. We then draw a plan, help you select materials, handle permitting and build the deck from the foundation to the finishing details.
Should I choose wood or composite decking?
Hardwoods like Ipe and cedar give you the look and feel of natural wood. Wolf and Fiberon decking needs less maintenance. We will explain the trade-offs for your home during the consultation.
How long does deck construction take?
It depends on the size, complexity and materials of your deck, along with weather and permitting. We give you a clear project schedule before we start and keep you updated as we build.
Is my deck guaranteed?
Yes. Our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee covers our workmanship. Manufacturer warranties apply separately; ask us for the details on your specific model.
