Home Decks in New Orleans and the Metro Area
Deck design and construction in New Orleans with rot-resistant materials and footings set for soft delta soil.
A deck earns its keep on lots where grade, roots, or drainage make a ground-level patio the wrong call. Raised off the soil and framed right, it turns uneven or damp ground into flat, usable living space. We design and build decks across the New Orleans metro with materials and framing chosen for this climate.
Materials That Survive Our Air
Humidity is the deck killer here, not winter. Untreated lumber mildews, cups, and rots fast in our air, so we build with pressure-treated framing and surface options that hold up: quality treated decking, tropical hardwoods, and composite boards that never need stain. Each has a different look, feel, and maintenance life, and we bring samples to the estimate.
Footings for Soft Ground
Delta soil settles, and a deck is only as level as what it stands on. We size and set footings for the actual soil on your lot rather than driving posts and hoping. Framing is flashed and fastened with hardware rated for outdoor exposure, so the structure stays tight through wet summers and storm seasons.
Drainage and Airflow Underneath
What happens under a deck decides how long it lasts. We grade so water moves out from under the structure instead of ponding against posts, and we frame for airflow so the underside dries after rain. It is invisible work, and it is why our decks stay solid.
Part of the Bigger Yard
Decks pair well with a pergola overhead for shade, screened sides against mosquitoes, or steps down to a patio at grade. Tell us the whole picture at the walkthrough and we will design so it fits together, even if you build in phases. The estimate is free and the price is written.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does home decks cost in New Orleans?
Pricing depends on the size of the space, the materials you choose, and what the site needs for drainage and anchoring. We put all of it in a written estimate after a free on-site visit, before any work starts, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
How long does the project take?
Smaller projects finish in days; larger builds with covers, kitchens, or structural work take longer. We give you a firm timeline with your estimate, not a guess, and we hold to it.
Will it stand up to our weather?
That is the whole point of how we build. Storm season runs June through November here, so everything we install is anchored and engineered for wind, and we choose materials that handle humidity instead of soaking it up.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Big Easy Patios is a licensed and insured Louisiana contractor. We pull the permits your parish requires and put the full scope in writing, so there are no surprises mid-project.
