Shield Yourself from the Elements with a Roof Over Your Deck
Upgryd designs and builds pergolas, louvered pergolas, and solid roof styles like gable, hip, and shed roofs to protect yourself from rain and weather on your deck, creating a functional, year-round outdoor space.
We Build Decks Year-Round – Even in Winter!
We Don’t Just Build Decks—We Set the Standard
At Upgryd, we believe your deck should do more than meet expectations—it should exceed them for decades to come. That’s why we use premium materials, modern building techniques, and a detail-driven process to build and resurface decks that are made to outperform, outlast, and outshine. From composite deck installations to full wood deck renovations, every project is handled with precision and pride.
As one of Pennsylvania’s leading deck contractors, we’re committed to delivering long-term value, elevated aesthetics, and structural excellence on every build. Here’s what makes an Upgryd deck truly different:

We Don’t Use What’s Common—We Use What’s Best.
Most builders use #2 UC4A lumber or lower grades, which rots and decays faster in high-moisture conditions. We exclusively use #1 UC4B Critical Structure lumber, engineered for maximum durability and long-term stability.
More Than Just a Finishing Touch—It’s Protection.
Unlike other builders who skip this critical step, we install picture framing on every deck to prevent water damage, rot, and separation between the fascia board and rim joist. This isn’t just about aesthetics—it reinforces the deck’s structure and extends its lifespan.
Stronger Railings, Built to Last.
Most builders use pressure-treated 4x4 wood posts, which warp, twist, and loosen over time—compromising the safety and look of your deck. We use aluminum structural surface-mounted posts for maximum durability, zero warping, and a sleek, modern finish.
Protecting Your Home Before Problems Start.
Many builders skip flashing tape, exposing your home to hidden moisture damage that leads to rot and decay. We install butyl flashing tape between the deck ledger board and your home’s sheathing, creating a watertight barrier that protects your home’s structure.
We Prevent Frame Rot Before It Happens.
Deck frames are constantly exposed to moisture, especially where joists are close together. We apply butyl joist tape beneath the picture frame, stopping standing water from pooling and causing premature rot.
A Strong Deck Means Strong Stairs.
Without protection, stair frames decay faster due to trapped moisture. We install butyl joist tape under the step picture frame, preventing freezing, rotting, and instability—ensuring your stairs are as strong as the deck itself.
Is Your Deck Leaving You Exposed?
Does this sound familiar?
- Unusable Outdoor Space in Bad Weather:Rain and harsh sunlight keep you trapped indoors, turning your dream deck into wasted space.
- Ruined Outdoor Gatherings:Unpredictable weather constantly disrupts your plans, leaving you and your guests scrambling for cover.
- Constant Cleanup from Debris:Leaves, dirt, and bird droppings take over your deck, making every use feel like a chore.
- Overheating in the Sun:Blazing heat turns your deck into an unbearable oven, forcing you to flee back inside.
- Constantly Rushing to Protect Your Furniture:Every storm has you frantically packing up cushions and closing umbrellas to save your furniture.
