Custom Deck Builder in Little Rock, AR

If you're looking for a deck builder Little Rock homeowners actually trust with their backyard, Premier Fence & Deck builds pressure-treated, cedar, and composite decks across Little Rock, North Little Rock, Benton, Bryant, Conway, and Ward. Every deck we build is engineered for Arkansas weather — the humidity, the clay soil, the summer sun, and the ice storms that show up every few winters.

Why build a deck for your Little Rock home

A good deck is one of the highest-return outdoor projects you can add to a home in Central Arkansas. It stretches your living space into the backyard for eight or nine months of the year, adds real resale value, and — when it's built with the right materials — barely asks anything back from you in maintenance.

We build decks for cookouts, hot tubs, screened porches, second-story walkouts, pool surrounds, and everything in between. Because we work in this market every day, we know what the ground does in Pulaski and Saline counties: red clay expands when wet, and undersized footings shift. We drill deeper, oversize footings, and use proper hardware so your deck stays flat and tight.

​

Materials and options

• Pressure-treated southern yellow pine — the most common framing lumber and a solid decking choice on a budget. Ground-contact rated for posts. Expect to seal it every 2–3 years.

• Western red cedar — softer look, natural rot resistance, holds stain well. A step up in appearance.

• Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech, Deckorators) — capped polymer boards that don't splinter, don't need staining, and carry 25–30 year warranties. Ideal for our humidity.

• PVC decking — fully synthetic, coolest under sun compared to older composites, and completely moisture-proof.

• Railings — pressure-treated wood, aluminum, cable, and glass panel options

• Add-ons — built-in benches, planter boxes, lighting, screened enclosures, pergolas over the deck, and stairs to grade

Framing is always structural — we use joist hangers, hurricane ties where appropriate, hot-dipped galvanized or stainless fasteners, and code-compliant ledger flashing on any deck attached to the house.

Little Rock permit note

New decks in Little Rock generally require a building permit because they're structural. Fences under 7 ft are exempt, but decks are not. We pull the permit, handle inspections, and build to current IRC deck code — including proper ledger attachment, guard height (36 in minimum for residential), and baluster spacing (less than 4 in).

Frequently asked questions

How long will a pressure-treated deck last in Arkansas?
A properly built and maintained pressure-treated deck lasts 15–25 years. Composite framing hardware and better fasteners push that longer.

Is composite worth the extra cost?
For a lot of homeowners, yes. You skip staining, boards don't crack, and the color holds. Over 20 years, total cost of ownership is often lower than wood.

Can you tie a new deck into an existing patio or porch?
Yes. We do transitions to concrete patios, screened porches, and second-story doors regularly.

Do you build pool decks?
Yes — including pool-code-compliant railings, gates, and slip-resistant board options.
