You’re not just building a deck—you’re creating valuable outdoor square footage that works as hard as any room in your house. In Huntington’s competitive real estate market where homes sell for a median of $870K, quality decks return 70-80% of their construction cost when you sell. That’s exceptional value in today’s market.
But the real payoff happens every day you live there. Picture Saturday morning coffee watching the world wake up, Sunday barbecues where the deck becomes command central, and evening conversations that stretch late because nobody wants to go inside. Your deck becomes the space where life’s best moments happen, not just during summer but through three seasons of Long Island’s beautiful weather.
When buyers tour homes in Huntington’s competitive market where properties sell in just 25 days, they’re looking for that outdoor living space that makes them fall in love before they even step inside. Your professionally built deck gives them exactly that.
Since 2000, we at Corsino Construction Corp have been the deck building contractor Huntington homeowners trust when they want it done right. We’ve spent over 20 years learning what works in Suffolk County’s unique coastal climate and building conditions.
What sets us apart isn’t just our experience—it’s how we work. While other contractors juggle subcontractors and hope for the best, we use licensed in-house professionals on every job. That means direct accountability, consistent quality, and clear communication from start to finish. No surprises, no runarounds, just professional results with fixed pricing.
We know Huntington’s building codes inside and out, from the 8-inch height requirements to proper footing depths of 42 inches. We handle permits, inspections, and all the details that protect your investment and give you peace of mind.
First, we sit down and understand what you want your outdoor space to accomplish. Are you hosting family gatherings? Creating a quiet retreat? We design around how you actually live, not some cookie-cutter approach that ignores Huntington’s waterfront lifestyle.
Next comes the planning phase where we handle permits and approvals with Huntington’s building department. Most decks over 8 inches require permits here, and we prepare all documentation including property surveys, detailed construction plans, and Form 87-01 applications. We make sure everything’s filed correctly so there are no delays or surprises later.
Construction typically takes one to two weeks depending on size and features. We keep job sites clean and organized so you can live comfortably while we work. Our systematic approach follows required inspections: foundation work with proper 42-inch footings, framing inspection, decking installation, railings, and final approval from the town.

Living in Huntington means dealing with salt air, humidity, and temperature swings that test every material choice you make. We understand these conditions and select materials accordingly—whether you choose pressure-treated lumber, composite decking, or premium hardwoods that can handle our coastal climate.
Composite decking has become increasingly popular with our Huntington clients because it eliminates the annual staining and sealing that wood requires in our humid environment. These materials last 25+ years with minimal maintenance, making them ideal for busy homeowners who want to enjoy their deck rather than maintain it every weekend.
For traditionalists who love natural wood, we work with cedar and pressure-treated options that handle moisture well. In Huntington’s climate, wood decks require staining every 1-2 years and regular inspection for rot or insect damage. We’ll walk you through the maintenance requirements upfront so you can make an informed decision that fits your lifestyle and budget.
Yes, Huntington requires building permits for any deck over 8 inches in height, attached to a structure, or exceeding certain dimensions. The permit process involves submitting detailed plans, a property survey, and a completed application using Form 87-01 to the Town of Huntington Building Department.
We handle the entire permit process for our clients, including plan preparation drawn to scale, submission, and coordination with building officials. Permit processing typically takes about a week, and we schedule all required inspections including foundation footings and final approval. The building department operates Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm, and we coordinate directly with them at (631) 351-2821. Skipping permits can result in tripled permit fees, stop-work orders, or even requiring deck removal, so it’s critical to do this right from the start.
Deck costs in Huntington typically range from $25-30 per square foot for pressure-treated wood to $49-52 per square foot for composite materials, including installation. A standard 20×20 deck generally runs $8,000-20,000 depending on materials, design complexity, and site conditions specific to Long Island.
Several factors influence your final cost beyond square footage: material choice, deck elevation and complexity, site preparation needs including excavation for sloped yards, permit fees, and custom features like built-in seating or lighting. Huntington’s rocky terrain in some areas can require special equipment, affecting costs. While composite costs more upfront, it eliminates annual maintenance expenses that wood requires in our coastal climate. We provide detailed, fixed-price estimates with no hidden fees so you know exactly what to expect.
Huntington’s coastal environment—with salt air, humidity, and temperature swings—requires materials that can handle these challenging conditions. Composite decking has become increasingly popular because it’s resistant to rot, insects, and weather damage while requiring minimal maintenance beyond occasional cleaning.
For natural wood options, pressure-treated lumber and cedar perform well in our climate when properly maintained. Pressure-treated wood costs $25-30 per square foot installed but requires annual staining and sealing to prevent rot and weathering. Cedar offers natural resistance to moisture and insects but also needs regular care every 1-2 years. Given Long Island’s humidity levels, many homeowners find composite worth the extra upfront cost for long-term convenience. We’ll evaluate your specific location, budget, and maintenance preferences to recommend the best option for your waterfront or inland Huntington property.
Most decks take one to two weeks to complete from start to finish, depending on size and design complexity. A simple 200 square foot deck typically takes 5-7 days, while larger projects with multiple levels, custom features, or challenging site conditions may take 2-4 weeks. Weather can affect timelines, especially during foundation work and concrete curing.
The permit process adds about a week before construction begins, but we handle all paperwork and coordinate with Huntington’s building department. We maintain clean, organized job sites so you can live comfortably during construction—no debris left overnight, tools stored properly, and work areas cleaned daily. Our systematic approach follows required inspection schedules: foundation inspection before backfill, framing inspection, and final approval. We provide realistic timelines during consultation and send daily updates with photos so you always know where things stand.
Yes, we provide comprehensive deck repair services including board replacement, railing repairs, structural reinforcement, and refinishing for Huntington homeowners. Many clients call us when they notice loose boards, wobbly railings, or weathering that’s gotten ahead of regular maintenance in our coastal climate.
Common repair needs in Huntington include replacing boards damaged by salt air exposure, reinforcing connections that have loosened due to temperature cycling, and addressing rot issues in areas where moisture collects. We can assess whether strategic repairs and refinishing can extend your deck’s life or if replacement offers better long-term value. For decks over 15-20 years old, especially those that haven’t been properly maintained, replacement often makes more financial sense. We’ll give you honest recommendations based on your deck’s condition, your budget, and how long you plan to stay in your home.
We provide comprehensive warranties that protect your investment and give you confidence in our work. Composite decking materials typically come with 25-year manufacturer warranties against fading, staining, and structural defects, while we provide a 5-year labor warranty on our installation work. All projects meet or exceed Huntington’s building codes and New York State safety standards.
Our labor warranty covers structural integrity, proper installation techniques, and workmanship defects. This includes foundation work, framing connections, decking installation, and railing systems. We use only licensed, in-house professionals—never subcontractors—so we maintain direct accountability for every aspect of your project. If warranty issues arise, we address them promptly at no additional cost, including material and labor. Given our 20+ years serving Huntington, we stand behind our work because our reputation depends on your long-term satisfaction.
