Does your backyard spend the rainy season as a mud patch and the sunny months as a heat trap? In Coral Gables you live outside — almost half the year is patio weather. A well-built deck or covered patio turns the space behind your house into an extra room: grilling, dinner outdoors, kids, dogs, and guests, all on a surface that's solid underfoot and built for Florida's sun and rain.

Why Choose Coral Gables Carpenters
You've seen decks that looked right on day one and sagged a year later — wrong materials, poor drainage, joists spaced for looks instead of strength. We build outdoor structures like the carpenters your home deserves: sound framing, proper fasteners, materials chosen for South Florida's heat, humidity, and rain. We also know when a project belongs to a licensed contractor with permits, and we're clear about that scope up front.
Decks Built for Florida Weather
In South Florida, the weather doesn't ask permission. We design decks with proper joist spacing and support for our loads, flash and detail against water intrusion, and choose decking and framing that resist rot, termites, and moisture. We leave clearance for airflow under the structure so it dries instead of staying damp. The result is a deck that stays solid and safe for years rather than heading back to us for repairs.
Covered Patios and Pergolas
Florida sun is relentless, and so is the rain when it comes. A covered patio or pergola gives you shade and shelter so the backyard stays usable all year. We frame and build pergolas with clean beam details, and can add open or solid roof structures depending on how much cover you want. Paired with new decking, it turns your yard into a room you'll use in January and July alike.
Repairs, Repainting, and Renovation
If your existing deck has soft boards, wobbly railings, or staining that won't come out, it may not need a full teardown. We assess the structure honestly: sometimes a couple of boards and hardware upgrades fix it; sometimes the framing underneath is gone and replacement is the only safe answer. We'll tell you which — with a clear estimate either way.
Railings, Stairs, and the Finishing Touches
A deck isn't finished until it's safe and good-looking on every edge. We build code-respecting railings and stairs, sized and anchored properly, with finishes that match your home's style — from classic white balusters to sleek metal-and-wood combinations. Add planters, benches, and built-in seating and your backyard stops being a project and starts being your favorite place.
