You want Montclair deck builders who actually know Montclair — not an out-of-town crew Googling the permit office on the drive over. We’ve built 38 decks right here, off University Blvd, Beach Blvd, and St. Augustine Road, so we already know your sloped lots, your sandy-loam-over-clay soil, and exactly what Duval County wants stamped before they’ll issue a permit. References are streets away, not states away.. Free estimate within 48 hours of your site visit. We stand behind our work on every build.

We stand behind our work, free estimate within 48 hours of your site visit. 4.9 stars on 70 Google reviews. Call (904) 944-9253 for a free in-home estimate.
Here’s the worry every Montclair homeowner has before they hire: does this contractor actually know my street, or am I the job where they figure it out? Fair question — Montclair is not a subdivision you can build by template. The mid-century ranches off University Blvd sit on sloped lots with mature oaks and sandy loam over clay, and the parcels backing up to Pottsburg Creek drain differently than the ones two blocks west. We’ve built 38 decks across this neighborhood, so we already know your soil, your grade, and what Duval County wants stamped — we’re not learning Montclair on your dime.
That local read shows up where it matters: the footing depth on a sloped backyard, the flashing where the ledger meets your specific siding, the joist spacing under capped composite. Most Montclair homeowners come to us tired of the annual sand-and-seal grind on a splintering pine deck, so we build the Montclair composite deck that ends it — Trex Transcend or MoistureShield over a hot-dip galvanized substructure, hidden fasteners, picture-frame perimeter. Across all 38 builds: zero board-failure warranty claims and you can read before you call.
Comparing a few Montclair deck builders this week? Ask each one for a nearby reference and an estimate. Ours are streets away, and our free estimate lands within 48 hours of your site visit to the dollar — no surprise change orders mid-build. Many Montclair projects pair the deck with a covered porch when the back slab is uneven, or a paver patio at grade for the grill and fire-pit zone; we build all three on one contract so the backyard ties together. Shaded yards run $28–$42/sq ft in Trex Transcend; a sun-exposed Montclair southside deck off a pool stays ~30°F cooler underfoot in AZEK PVC. We’re family-owned, licensed & insured. Free in-home consult, a detailed design plan of your build (credited to your project), no pressure to sign.

A Trex Transcend composite deck in Montclair runs $28 – $42 per square foot installed — a typical 14×16 (224 sq ft) deck lands between $6,272 and $9,408. MoistureShield composite runs a touch less; AZEK PVC for sun-exposed or pool-side decks runs $20 – $30/sq ft. Every Montclair composite deck quote includes hot-dip galvanized framing, stainless hidden fasteners, 24" concrete footings, stamped engineering, and the Duval County permit.
Judge it by local proof, not slogans: Jacksonville Deck Builders (a Coastal Outdoor Construction company) has 38 builds across the Montclair neighborhood and the Southside — references on streets near yours, not in another county. We stand behind our work, family-owned, licensed & insured. We handle the deck, the covered porch, and the paver patio on one contract so the whole backyard ties together and you manage one project, not three.

Montclair sits in unincorporated Duval, so deck permits go through the Duval County Building Permits office at 214 N. Hogan St., Jacksonville — an office we’re in often enough to know what they reject and how to file so they don’t. With stamped structural engineering submitted alongside the application, turnaround is 3 – 5 business days. We pull the permit, manage every inspection, and you never set foot downtown — it’s all line-itemed in your estimate.
Montclair is inland Southside, so every build is engineered to the 130 mph inland Florida standard. That means hurricane-rated metal connectors at every connection, 24" concrete footings sized for uplift (deeper on the sloped lots off St. Augustine Rd), and a continuous load path from the ledger to the footings. Permitted, stamped structures are covered under your Florida homeowner’s wind policy — an unpermitted deck usually is not.
Yes — porches are one of our most-requested Southside add-ons, and we’re the Montclair porch builders homeowners call when the back slab is uneven or the roofline needs a clean tie-in. We build open covered porches and full three-season rooms, then step a composite deck down to the yard. Designing the deck and porch together keeps the framing, drainage, and roofline consistent and saves a second permit cycle.
Often both. A raised Montclair composite deck in Trex Transcend or MoistureShield is the right call off a back door or for a sloped lot where you want a level outdoor floor. A ground-level paver patio in travertine or Belgard is better for a grill station, fire-pit lounge, or pool surround at grade. Many Montclair backyards combine a composite deck off the house with a paver patio beyond it; we’ll bring physical samples of both to your free in-home consult and draw the full layout to scale.
