The systems behind a deck that lasts.
The decking, foundation, lighting, hardscape and shade systems we specify for complete outdoor builds, with lumber and hardware sourced through local Hudson Valley yards.
Built Once. Remembered Forever.
What goes into
every Pinnacle build.
A deck is no better than the parts that go into it. We choose each system the same way we build: for what lasts, not for what is cheapest on a given week. We specify and install each one to its applicable requirements.
We source through local Hudson Valley yards and handle engineering and permits in-house, across Dutchess, Putnam, Westchester, Orange, Ulster, Sullivan, Columbia and Greene counties.
Trex
Trex makes the premier composite decking and railing we put on our projects, including Trex Signature, Trex Transcend Lineage, Trex Select, and Trex PVC. We are a TrexPro® Platinum builder and install to factory spec. Your build includes the 10-year labor warranty through Trex. If you want to see and feel the boards before you decide, order samples straight to your door from our Trex Products page.
Mascore
Mascore supplies the helical pile foundation systems we specify where the site and design support their use. Foundation design accounts for the site, frost requirements, and structural loads. Pile installation follows the engineered requirements for each job. This is the part of the build you never see again, and it is the part we will not compromise.
Haven Lighting
Haven Full Color LED Deck Light is the product we plan into a deck before it is built. The fixtures go in after the picture frame and railings, laid out, drilled, and set into the finished surface last: in-deck lights in the second picture-frame board, inside the rail line, one centered in each railing section, post caps warm white. The layout is settled at the design stage, not as an afterthought. We set the fixtures into the structure and program the scenes with you at walkthrough. The result is railing, riser, and accent lighting you control from your phone, with color you can change to fit the night.
Unilock
Unilock supplies the pavers and hardscape we use for patios, walkways, fire features, and the grade-level transitions around a deck. Their units are built to hold up to our winters and the salt that comes with them. The base, edge restraint, and joint work are done to the spec that keeps a paver field flat and tight for the long run. When a project blends deck and stone, this is what ties it together at ground level.
BBQGuys
BBQGuys supplies the outdoor kitchen systems we build into a deck or patio: grills, burners, refrigeration, storage, and the stainless components that have to survive outside year round. We specify BBQGuys products for a kitchen that fits how you actually cook. We plan the gas, power, and counter layout with the deck, so the kitchen is part of the structure rather than bolted on after.
Polywood
Polywood makes the outdoor furniture we recommend to finish a deck, built from recycled material that holds its color and shrugs off weather without the upkeep of teak. We spec pieces that match the look of your build instead of leaving it to a big-box guess. The Eastport Collection in Weathered Tweed pairs especially well with Trex Signature in Whidbey, a combination we reach for often on Hudson Valley projects.
Nexus 21
Nexus 21 makes the motorized TV lift systems we install in covered outdoor retreats, so a television rises into view when you want it and disappears when you do not. We plan the Nexus 21 mechanism into the cabinetry or ceiling and coordinate its wiring with the design. Hiding the TV protects it from the weather and keeps the space calm and built-in when the screen is down.
The screen hangs from the ceiling.

Nexus 21 TV LiftNorth Solar Screen
North Solar Screen supplies the motorized outdoor shades we use to close in a covered porch or pergola, cutting sun, wind, and bugs at the push of a button. We specify North Solar Screen tracks and motors for the span and exposure, following the manufacturer installation requirements. Shades turn a covered outdoor retreat into one you actually use more of the year, which matters in the Hudson Valley.

Hudson Valley Trex Supplier Showroom & Display Deck.
Built by Pinnacle: an indoor Trex showroom with a diamond inlay and lit steps, and an outdoor display deck with cable rail and a fire table. It is where the trade walks our work before they order.
We source through local Hudson Valley yards, so a build that needs lumber, fasteners, or hardware on short notice is not waiting on a truck from out of state. You do not need to drive across the region to choose a board: order samples straight to your door from our Trex Products page, or visit your closest local Trex dealer.
Engineering and permits, in-house.
We handle the building department side ourselves: the engineering, the permit paperwork, the coordination with the town, and the code questions, so the permit keeps pace with the build instead of holding it up. Engineering and permits are always included in a Pinnacle build, never a line item left to the homeowner.
