Premium Deck Features & Upgrades

The right features help your deck function better and feel more complete in daily use.

Deck Features

Structural Deck Framing

Quality framing creates a stable platform that resists sagging and movement over time. We specify joist spacing, beam sizing, and connection hardware to support your deck's intended load and lifespan.

Decorative Deck Skirting

Skirting panels conceal the understructure and add visual polish to your deck's profile. Choose from ventilated lattice, solid composite boards, or horizontal slat designs that coordinate with your decking material.

Quality Railing Systems

Railings frame your outdoor space and provide necessary fall protection. We install aluminum, composite, cable, and wood systems configured for strength, comfort, and visual harmony with your deck design.

Integrated Deck Lighting

Strategic lighting makes your deck safer and more inviting after sunset. Post caps, riser lights, and under-rail strips create layered illumination using energy-efficient LED components.

Secure Deck Footing

Footings positioned below frost depth prevent heaving and settlement from seasonal ground movement. We calculate footing dimensions based on local soil conditions and structural load requirements.

Underdeck Systems

Ceiling systems beneath raised decks capture runoff and direct it away from the space below. This approach transforms underutilized areas into dry zones suitable for storage or additional living space.

Outdoor Shelter Structures

These structures add comfort, definition, and versatility to your outdoor space throughout the seasons.
Outdoor Structures

Custom Pergola Construction

Pergolas establish outdoor rooms with open-air character and dappled shade coverage. We build attached and freestanding configurations using rot-resistant materials suited for Nebraska weather.

Screened Porch Installations

Screened enclosures deliver bug-free comfort without sacrificing fresh air and natural light. These spaces integrate with deck construction to create protected areas for relaxing and entertaining.

Covered Deck Systems

Solid roof structures shield your deck from rain, snow, and intense summer sun. We design covers that match your home’s architectural style and roofing materials for a unified appearance.

Modern Privacy Screens

Privacy screens establish boundaries and reduce exposure to adjacent properties. Custom designs in wood, composite, or mixed materials create secluded outdoor rooms built to handle Midwest conditions.

Complete Outdoor Living Environments

Black Label Decks & Outdoor Living designs integrated exterior spaces that maximize your property’s potential.
