Custom wood and composite decks planned for daily use, drainage, safe circulation, and lasting curb appeal.
Built for Henrico homes
Local planning makes a better deck
SES Custom Homes provides Henrico homeowners with straightforward recommendations and exterior improvements tailored to the house—not a one-size-fits-all package.
Henrico deck projects range from efficient platforms behind brick ranches to multi-level outdoor rooms on sloped West End lots. We adapt the framing and circulation plan to the house and grade.
A well-designed deck should feel like a natural extension of the house. We plan the footprint, traffic flow, stairs, rails, material layout, and connection to the yard before construction begins.

Frequently asked questions
Planning decks in Henrico
Is composite decking worth the added cost?
Composite can be a strong value for homeowners who prioritize lower routine maintenance and consistent appearance. Wood remains attractive when natural character and lower initial cost matter more.
How large should a new deck be?
The right size comes from furniture, grill clearances, traffic paths, doors, stairs, and yard proportions—not a generic square-foot target.
Can a deck be designed for a sloped yard?
Yes. Sloped sites may use taller framing, landings, carefully placed stairs, or a connection to a lower patio. The structural and drainage plan must respond to the grade.
