One flight. The whole build.
The Pinnacle Standard
We’re not the cheapest. We’re not the fastest. We have no intention of being either.
If you want the lowest bid, we aren’t the right fit. If you want a space you’ll still be proud of long after the price is forgotten — welcome.
Surface
Chosen for your site.
The board is picked for your sun and your family, not the showroom.
Light
Planned before the build.
Lighting is designed with the deck, never bolted on after.
Closeout
Ours, not yours.
Engineering and permits are always included. Never a line item.
How it goes together
Built in order. Every time.
- Foundation below the frost line — helical piles where the site and design support their use
- Beams
- Joists and rim
- Joist tape on every joist
- Decking, picture-frame border
- Railings
- Lights laid out, drilled, installed
After Dark
Light is designed in. Not bolted on.
Built Work
Finished work. Not a rendering.
Trex Made Us Earn It
The other companies recruited us. Trex made us prove it.
TrexPro® PlatinumHighest Trex certification tier
Pinnacle Decking is a TrexPro® Platinum — the highest tier of Trex’s certification program, held by roughly the top 1% of deck builders nationwide. Earned on volume, on inspected build quality, and on how the decks hold up after we leave.
How We Think
The property decides the build.
Sun exposure, drainage, the view, and how you use the yard shape the design. Our five-hour sun rule is Pinnacle field guidance, not a Trex specification: five or more hours of direct sun starts a conversation about Lineage. Every deck surface can become hot in direct sun.
Engineering and permits are included. Foundation design, protected framing, water management, and lighting planned before construction are part of one coordinated build.
Trex is our deck system. It is not our only material.
We are not going to tell you TimberTech and AZEK are bad products, because that would be a lie and you would know it. They are strong products with different tradeoffs. Trex became the better system for the way we build in New York. That is a Pinnacle conclusion from Pinnacle's field experience, not a universal verdict.
We still specify TimberTech tongue-and-groove for covered ceilings. When a porch ceiling wants warmth, that product is right and we use it without apology. Who wants to look at more sheetrock everywhere?
Same with the rest of the property. Stone, pavers, steel, cable, glass — we use what belongs where it belongs. The deck surface is the one place we stopped compromising, and we stopped because of what we watched happen outside.
Trex is our deck system. Haven is our lighting system.
Lighting belongs in the design, not bolted on after the invoice clears. Risers, rails, walkways, the water — it gets planned when the frame gets planned, installed last, after the picture frame and railings: in-deck lights in the second picture-frame board inside the rail line, one centered in each railing section, post caps warm white. It disappears into the deck instead of sitting on top of it.
Black railing does not fight the view. It disappears into it. That is a design decision we make on purpose, and it is the difference between a deck you look at and a deck you look from.
