Deck Construction in Durham, NC
Custom decks designed and built to last — pressure-treated, composite, or hardwood.
A well-built deck turns your backyard into an extension of your home — and Billy Weatherspoon Contractor has been building them for Durham homeowners for over 40 years. From modest ground-level platforms to large multi-level structures, we design and construct custom decks that suit your space, your style, and your budget.
We take care of everything: design consultation, permit applications, structural footings, framing, decking, railings, and stairs. We use quality materials — pressure-treated lumber or low-maintenance composite — and build every deck to code and beyond. Free estimates, transparent pricing, and a deck that holds up for decades.

Common Questions
Pressure-treated vs. composite — which is better?
Pressure-treated is more affordable upfront and easy to repair. Composite costs more initially but requires almost no maintenance and won't rot or splinter. For longevity and ease of care, composite is usually the better investment.
Do you pull the permits?
Yes. Decks over a certain size require a permit in most NC municipalities. We handle all permit applications and schedule inspections so you don't have to.
How long does deck construction take?
Most decks take 1–2 weeks to build, depending on size and complexity. Permit approval timelines vary by municipality and can add a week or two upfront.
