Learn MoreThree straightforward steps from your first call to a finished deck.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form. We respond within 1 business day. You tell us what you have in mind - no drawings needed, no decisions made yet. We just want to understand your project before we show up.
We visit your property, walk the space, take measurements, and talk through your options in person. You get a clear written proposal that breaks out materials, labor, and permit fees. No vague ballpark numbers.
Once you approve the proposal, we handle the permit application, schedule the work, and keep you updated at every stage. After the county inspection passes, we walk you through the finished project before we leave.
Four reasons that matter when you're trusting someone to build on your property.
Punta Gorda Fence & Deck holds a valid Florida state contractor's license and carries full liability insurance plus workers' compensation. You can verify our license through the Florida DBPR before signing anything.
We walk your property, measure the space, and hand you a written quote that breaks out labor, materials, and permit fees. You decide on your own timeline with no pressure from us.
We are a locally owned company rooted in Punta Gorda. We know Charlotte County's permit process, the inspectors, and what Florida's coastal climate actually does to outdoor materials over time.
We pull every permit ourselves and schedule all required county inspections. That means your deck is fully documented, code-compliant, and covered by your homeowner's insurance from day one.

"We had a composite deck built over our canal-facing backyard and the crew finished in under two weeks, right on the schedule they gave us. The permit process was handled completely - we never had to make a single call to the county. Solid work."
David M., Punta Gorda - Composite deck installation
"After Hurricane Ian shifted our old deck, we had it replaced with a Trex build. They checked the footings first, caught that two posts had moved, and reset them before laying a single board. Glad someone actually looked before starting the new work."
Sandra K., Port Charlotte - Trex deck installation
"We got a screened-in porch added to our existing deck. The team was straightforward from the estimate - told us exactly what the HOA submission would need and had it approved before pulling the county permit. No surprises on the price."
Robert T., Englewood - Screened-in porches and screened decks

Six things worth understanding before you sign a contract.
Yes - any deck attached to your home in Charlotte County requires a permit before work starts. A licensed inspector checks the framing and the final result, which protects you and keeps your homeowner's insurance valid. The Charlotte County Building Division handles permitting for most Punta Gorda properties.
Composite decking outperforms untreated wood in Florida's heat, humidity, and salt air - it won't rot, splinter, or need annual staining. Pressure-treated wood costs less upfront but needs regular sealing and is more vulnerable to moisture. Most waterfront homeowners in Charlotte County choose composite for the lower long-term maintenance cost.
October through April is the ideal window - after hurricane season and before summer's daily afternoon downpours. Starting in fall also lets you enjoy the finished deck through the best outdoor months. If you wait until spring, schedule early - contractor availability fills up fast heading into Florida's busy season.
Charlotte County sits in a high-wind zone, so decks must be engineered and fastened to meet elevated wind-load standards. That means heavier hardware, deeper footings, and specific fastening patterns. The cost difference is modest, but it means your deck is built to stay put when a serious storm rolls through.
If you live in Punta Gorda Isles, Burnt Store Isles, or another planned community, your HOA likely has an architectural review process that runs separately from the county permit. HOA approval can take a few days to several weeks. Check your HOA documents early - getting this wrong after a permit is pulled can mean costly redesigns.
Salt air accelerates rust on metal fasteners and degrades paint and stucco faster than inland locations. All hardware on our projects is marine-grade stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized as a baseline. The North American Deck and Railing Association recommends coastal-rated components for any deck within two miles of saltwater.

We hold a valid Florida state contractor's license issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, which requires passing state exams, maintaining liability insurance, and carrying workers' compensation coverage.

Learn more about our team and approachIf more than a third of your boards are soft, cracked, or pulling away from fasteners, replacement is usually more cost-effective than patching. Repairs make sense when the frame is still structurally sound and fewer than a handful of boards have failed.
In Punta Gorda's heat, humidity, and salt air, many homeowners find the lower maintenance cost makes composite worth it over a 10-year horizon. Avoiding annual staining, board replacement, and early rot repairs adds up quickly in a coastal climate. The American Wood Council publishes residential deck guides that cover material tradeoffs in detail.
Start with your HOA documents to find out their submission requirements. Submit for HOA approval first, since changes requested after the county permit is issued add cost. Your contractor should be familiar with local HOA review processes and can help prepare the drawings the committee needs.

Punta Gorda is a small city of around 20,000 residents in Charlotte County, sitting where the Peace River meets Charlotte Harbor. With a homeownership rate near 72% and a median age among the highest in Florida, this is a city full of long-term homeowners who care about keeping their properties in good shape. The outdoor lifestyle here is real - most residents use their backyards year-round and value usable outdoor living space highly.
A large share of homes in Punta Gorda were built or completely rebuilt after Hurricane Charley made a direct hit on the city in 2004 as a Category 4 storm. That rebuilding effort means much of the local housing stock is post-2005 construction built to Florida's updated building codes. We know what that construction looks like and how to attach a new deck to it correctly. Neighborhoods like Punta Gorda Isles - built on roughly 55 miles of navigable canals with direct boat access to the harbor - are a large part of our work, and we understand the seawall setbacks, salt air conditions, and HOA requirements that come with those properties.
Whether your home is near Fishermen's Village on the waterfront or in a quiet neighborhood off US-41, Punta Gorda Fence & Deck has served Punta Gorda homeowners since 2018. We are a locally owned business - not a national franchise - and our work stays in this community. If you are ready to add outdoor living space that holds up in Florida's climate, give us a call.
