We Don’t Just Build Decks—We Set the Standard
As one of Pennsylvania’s leading deck contractors, we’re committed to delivering long-term value, refined aesthetics, and structural excellence on every build. Here’s what makes an Upgryd deck truly different:
Premium #1 UC4B Critical Structure Lumber
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.
Picture Framing for Deck Longevity
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.
Surface-Mounted Structural Railing Posts
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.
Deck Ledger flashing Protection
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.
Deck Picture Frame Protection
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.
Stair Picture Frame Protection
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.

How Long Will My Deck Project Take?
What to Expect: From Planning to Completion
Planning
In the planning phase, we help you finalize the design and materials for your roof structure, whether it’s an A-frame, pergola, or screened porch. During this stage, we order the necessary materials and coordinate the delivery to ensure everything is ready for your project. This phase typically takes about 1 week and ensures your project starts on time and runs smoothly.
Permits
Depending on local regulations, certain roof structures may require permits for installation. If permits are necessary, we handle all the paperwork and submissions to ensure your project meets local building codes. The permit process typically takes 2–4 weeks during slower months and 6–8 weeks during peak times. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way to make the process as smooth as possible.
Installation
Our expert team gets to work on your chosen roof structure, ensuring every detail is installed with precision and care. Depending on the type and complexity of the structure, the installation typically takes 2-3 weeks. We focus on delivering a high-quality result that enhances both the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space.
