You want Amelia Island deck builders who’ve actually built on this island — not a crew driving up from somewhere else to guess at the salt, the wind code, and the HOA. We’ve done 31 builds here, from Fernandina’s historic district to Amelia Island Plantation and the Omni Amelia resort communities. Ask around — the references are down the street.. Fixed-price quote in 7 days. 10-year workmanship warranty on every build.

Here’s what you already suspect about hiring Amelia Island deck builders: this island is harder on a deck than anywhere else in Northeast Florida, and most contractors don’t build for it. You sit at the northern tip of the state, taking salt off both the Atlantic and the marsh side of the Intracoastal. Your oceanfront lot falls under a stricter 150 mph wind zone than inland Nassau. A crew that doesn’t know that builds you a deck that cups, rusts, and fails inspection. We know it because we’ve been on this island 31 times — and we know the Nassau County permit desk in Yulee, the architectural-review process at the Amelia Island Plantation and Omni Amelia, and the sandy marsh-edge soil your footings have to grip. Every board we set is backed by marine-grade 316 stainless fasteners and hurricane-rated metal connectors, capped in composite or PVC built for this coast’s UV. The result is zero warranty claims and zero board failures across all 31.
If you’re comparing two or three fernandina deck builders this week, ask each one where their last Amelia Island build is and whether you can drive by it — that one question tells you everything. The build details are where local experience shows: the picture-frame perimeter, the hidden fastener track, the corner mitering, and the marine-grade hardware behind every board. For an amelia island pool deck, we’ll steer you to AZEK PVC — it runs 30°F cooler underfoot than wood, carries a lifetime fade warranty, and shrugs off chlorine and salt splash. For a shaded or marsh-side backyard, an amelia island composite deck in Trex Transcend Spiced Rum or Lava Rock at $34–$44/sq ft is the smarter value. We also tie the whole backyard together — pool deck installation, paver patios, outdoor kitchens, and as pergola builders for shade over the deck. We’re family-owned, licensed & insured, and we put the whole job on one contract and one project team. Free in-home consult, a 3D render of your build (credited to your project), a fixed-price quote in 7 days, and the same 10-year workmanship warranty on every build.

You get one fixed price, not a number that creeps up mid-build. An amelia island composite deck in Trex Transcend runs $34 – $44 per square foot installed — a typical 14×16 (224 sq ft) deck lands between $7,616 and $9,856. AZEK PVC for an amelia island pool deck runs $44 – $60/sq ft for the marine-grade build-up. Every quote already includes marine-grade 316 stainless fasteners, hurricane-rated metal connectors, 24" concrete footings sized for uplift, stamped engineering, the Nassau County permit, and HOA submission — nothing billed back later. Call (904) 944-9253 for your fixed-price quote in 7 days.
Look for the builder with actual decks on this island and references you can drive to. Jacksonville Deck Builders (a Coastal Outdoor Construction brand) is the family-owned, licensed & insured local deck builder with 31 finished builds on Amelia Island and across Fernandina Beach — and a 10-year workmanship warranty. We’ve already walked architectural review for both the Amelia Island Plantation and Omni Amelia, so your HOA submission isn’t a first try. Call (904) 944-9253 for a free in-home Amelia Island quote.
You never set foot in Yulee. Amelia Island deck permits go through the Nassau County Building Dept at 96161 Nassau Pl in Yulee, and because we send stamped structural engineering with the application, turnaround is 5 – 7 business days. HOA architectural review for the Amelia Island Plantation or Omni Amelia adds another 14 – 21 days, so we file both in parallel and handle every back-and-forth ourselves — you just approve the design and we run the paperwork.
It depends on where your lot sits, and getting it right is what keeps the deck attached in a storm. Oceanfront Amelia Island properties fall in the 150 mph oceanfront wind zone; lots set back inland fall under the 130 mph inland Nassau code. We build to whichever applies to you — hurricane-rated metal connectors at every connection, 24" concrete footings sized for uplift, and a continuous load path engineered to code. Because it’s permitted and stamped, your deck is covered under your Florida homeowner’s wind policy, which matters this far north on the coast.
Yes — pool deck installation and hot tub decks are two of our most-requested Amelia Island builds. For an amelia island pool deck we default to AZEK PVC: it stays roughly 30°F cooler underfoot than composite in direct sun, carries a lifetime fade warranty, and shrugs off chlorine and salt. Hot tub decks get a reinforced substructure and stamped engineering for the live load. We also pour paver patios and travertine pool surrounds, and act as pergola builders and outdoor kitchens contractors so the whole backyard ties together.
It will ruin a deck built to the wrong spec. Standard galvanized fasteners and even 304 stainless start showing rust within 3–5 years on Amelia Island, where salt comes off both the ocean and the marsh. Marine-grade 316 stainless is the only fastener spec that holds up here — line-itemed on every Amelia Island quote, never substituted. Capped composite like Trex Transcend and PVC like AZEK are unaffected by salt drift; the polymer cap is exactly what the manufacturers test against coastal UV. It’s why an amelia island composite deck outlasts wood three to one on this coast.
