Build your own deck with professionally engineered, ready-to-assemble wood and composite deck kits, delivered curbside to homes across Orlando and Orange County. Framing, decking, Tuff Block footings and hardware are included, so a drill is the only tool you need.
Searching “deck builders near me” in Orlando turns up contractors across Central Florida, and with steady home construction in the region, good crews stay busy. Compare the three ways to get a new deck, from hiring a deck installer to assembling a DIY deck kit, and see which fits your budget and timeline.
A licensed deck contractor handles design, permits, footings, framing and cleanup. It is the best fit for elevated decks, lakefront builds or decks tied into a pool or lanai. Compare written quotes for the same scope and check each contractor’s Florida DBPR license.
Buy lumber, hardware and decking from a local supplier and handle the design, span calculations, cuts and layout yourself. It suits experienced builders with their own tools and the time to work around afternoon storms.
Smart ChoiceProfessionally engineered DIY deck kits in 15 wood and 9 composite sizes, delivered to your Orlando home with labeled components, footings and hardware. Build it yourself with a drill or hire local help to assemble it.
I am far from a handyman but the wife wanted a deck in the backyard and I couldn’t see myself dishing out $20,000 for someone to come build it for us. I ended up seeing an ad for this company and was blown away by the price and ease of install. 2 of our neighbours ended up ordering as well!

Orlando decks never carry snow. Inland Central Florida trades it for frequent summer thunderstorms and lightning, hurricane-season wind, intense heat and humidity. Plan for all four before you choose decking materials and a deck foundation.
Built for year-round Central Florida backyardsStorms can still bring strong wind well inland. During hurricane season, June 1 to November 30, clear the deck before a storm and ask your building department what anchoring it expects.
Summer storms build on many afternoons. Place the deck where water drains away from the house, keep board gaps clear and leave airflow under ground-level decks so the framing dries out.
Termites and mildew thrive in Orlando’s humidity. Pressure-treated framing resists rot and insects; keep mulch and soil away from posts and check the frame yearly.
Seal pressure-treated wood every one to two years, or choose composite decking for a surface that never needs staining.

An A-DIY deck may be installed over sloped or uneven ground by adjusting the supporting post heights to establish a level deck surface.
Supported configurations may be elevated to approximately 40 inches using the appropriate posts, foundations and bracing.
Depending on the height and configuration, the project may also require:

Most decks in Orlando need a building permit, attached or freestanding. The City lists elevated decks among the structural work that doesn’t qualify for Florida’s 2026 under-$7,500 permit exemption. Use the quick check, then confirm with the building department that covers your address.
Rule of thumb: in Orlando, plan on a building permit for any deck, and confirm questions about low decks with Permitting Services before you build.
General guidance for Orlando-area decks
*In Orlando, low freestanding decks generally aren’t exempt: the Florida Building Code’s permit-exempt list doesn’t include decks, and the City excludes structural work, elevated decks and flood-zone properties from the under-$7,500 exemption. Zoning and HOA rules still apply.
City of OrlandoDeck permits are handled by the City of Orlando Permitting Services Division. Expect questions about setbacks, flood zones and how the deck is supported.
Orange CountyHomes in unincorporated Orange County apply to the county’s Division of Building Safety, while Winter Park, Maitland, Ocoee, Winter Garden and Apopka run their own building departments.
FloridaEvery Florida jurisdiction enforces the Florida Building Code, currently the 8th Edition (2023), with the 9th Edition (2026) set to take effect at the turn of the year, so structural standards stay consistent across Central Florida.
Confirm setbacks, whether the lot is in a FEMA flood zone and whether your HOA needs to approve the deck.
Show the deck’s location, size, height and setbacks. A-DIY engineering diagrams can help.
Apply to City of Orlando Permitting Services or the Orange County Division of Building Safety, depending on your address.
Book the footing or final inspections your permit requires, then enjoy the deck.
Our deck specialists can help you plan size, height and placement before you apply.
Yes. Engineering diagrams for applicable A-DIY configurations show dimensions, structural layout, beam and joist sizes and post locations to support your application. Your department may still ask for a survey, site plan or stamped documents.
Requirements change and can differ between neighboring municipalities. Always confirm current rules with your local building department before you build.
