Whether you need a stunning rooftop deck for your restaurant or a backyard retreat for weekend cookouts, a well-built deck adds real value to any property in the Greater New Orleans area. The challenge here is building something that holds up against our subtropical humidity, heavy rains, and termite pressure while still looking great year after year.
Big Easy Contractors designs and builds outdoor decks for both commercial and residential properties across the metro area. We handle everything from initial design through final walkthrough, using materials and techniques suited specifically to Louisiana’s demanding climate. Contact us today at (504) 475-2004 to start planning your deck project.
Outdoor deck space has become essential for restaurants, hotels, office complexes, and retail centers throughout New Orleans. A thoughtfully designed commercial deck draws foot traffic, increases seating capacity, and gives employees a place to step outside during the workday.
Common commercial deck applications include:
Commercial projects require compliance with local building codes, ADA accessibility standards, and occupancy load ratings. Our team handles permitting and engineering so your project moves forward without delays.
For homeowners across Metairie, Lakeview, the Westbank, and surrounding neighborhoods, a custom deck transforms underused yard space into the best room in the house. New Orleans’ long outdoor season means you can use a deck comfortably from early spring through late fall.
Popular residential deck styles we build:
We work with you on layout, railing style, lighting, and built-in features like benches or planters to match your home and how you actually use the space.
Choosing the right material matters more here than in most parts of the country. Our humidity, standing water after storms, and aggressive Formosan termite population all factor into what will last and what will not.
The most affordable option and still a solid performer when properly treated and maintained. Pressure-treated pine is rated for ground contact and resists rot and insects. It does require periodic sealing and staining to maintain its appearance in our climate.
Composite boards combine wood fibers with plastic polymers, creating a low-maintenance surface that resists moisture, fading, and insect damage. No staining or sealing required. The upfront cost is higher, but long-term maintenance savings often make up the difference within a few years.
Ipe, cumaru, and tigerwood are naturally resistant to rot, insects, and moisture. These dense hardwoods hold up exceptionally well in humid environments and develop a silver patina over time if left unsealed. They carry a premium price but offer unmatched durability.
Made entirely from synthetic materials, PVC boards are completely waterproof and immune to termites. They stay cool underfoot compared to composites and work well for pool surrounds and areas with constant water exposure.
Every deck we build accounts for the specific challenges of building in Southeast Louisiana:
Deck costs vary based on size, materials, elevation, and complexity. A straightforward ground-level pressure-treated deck starts at a lower price point, while elevated composite or hardwood decks with railings, lighting, and built-in features will fall at the higher end. We provide detailed estimates after an on-site consultation so there are no surprises.
Our process includes design consultation, material selection, permitting (when required), construction, and a final inspection walkthrough. Most residential decks are completed within one to two weeks. Commercial projects vary based on scope.
Big Easy Contractors has built decks across the New Orleans metro for both homeowners and business owners. We know what works here and what does not, and we build accordingly.
