Local know-how matters when you hire Mandarin deck builders. We’ve built 68 decks right here in Mandarin. We know the clay-and-sand soil here drains slowly. We know heavy oak shade is hard on the wrong board. We’ll point you to finished decks a few streets over so you can see the work and talk to the owner.
That local know-how shapes the build. Under heavy oak shade, the answer is almost always Trex Transcend in Spiced Rum or Tiki Torch. It’s composite that handles the damp shade and the falling leaves without rotting or staining. We file your permit with Duval, so you’re not chasing it. We can add a pressure-treated pergola or a paver patio, and handle the whole backyard under one contract and one warranty. We bring real Trex, MoistureShield, and AZEK samples to your home so you can compare them under your own shade.
We’ve built 500+ decks, and every job comes and we stand behind our work. We’re family-owned, licensed, and insured. Your estimate is in your hands within 48 hours, and the price doesn’t move after we start. When you’re ready, we’ll walk your backyard, walk you through your design plan, and give you a firm price.

A Trex Transcend composite deck in Mandarin runs $28 – $42 per square foot installed. A typical 14×16 (224 sq ft) Trex deck lands $6,272 – $9,408, itemized in writing. MoistureShield runs $28 – $42 per square foot. AZEK PVC, for full-sun decks, runs $20 – $30. Add-ons: about $5k–$9k for a pressure-treated pergola, $12k–$22k for a travertine paver patio. Most Mandarin projects bundle two or three of these.

You never set foot in the county office — we handle all of it. Mandarin permits go through the Duval County Building Permits office at 214 N. Hogan Street downtown, and with our stamped structural engineering, turnaround is 3 – 5 business days. You just approve the design and pick the color.
For an oak-shaded Mandarin backyard, Trex Transcend is almost always the best pick, and we’ll keep you from overpaying. Spiced Rum and Tiki Torch are the two top sellers in Mandarin because they look warm under the oak shade. You can skip AZEK here: its cooler surface only helps in full sun. If money is tight, MoistureShield has the same 25-year warranty as Trex and still beats anything else on your street. We bring all three samples to your home so the choice is yours, not ours.
Yes. Bundling a pergola under one contract with the deck keeps the project simple, and you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors. Many Mandarin decks we build come with a pressure-treated pergola for shade over the oak-canopied yard. We do the decking and the pergola in-house, under one warranty. Pergolas come louvered or with fixed beams.
Yes. Doing the patio with the deck on one plan is cheaper than hiring a separate patio contractor later. Most Mandarin builds add a travertine, brick, or shellstone paver patio off the deck, often around a fire pit or an outdoor kitchen. We use Belgard, Tremron, and Pavestone pavers, sealed to last 30+ years. One contract, one warranty, covering the whole job.
