Custom Deck Builders in Lancaster, PA
Build a Deck Around the Way You Want to Live Outside
Your backyard should work for the dinners, quiet mornings, summer evenings, and weekends you want to spend there. Your deck should be designed for all of it. Brookside Brothers provides custom deck building in Lancaster, PA, creating each space around your home, property, personal style, and everything you want to do outside.
Design a Deck Around the Way You Want to Live Outside
Brookside designs around your home, property, plans for the space, and southeastern Pennsylvania’s changing seasons. That’s how a deck becomes truly custom.
Give Everything Enough Room
Table for eight? Grill near the kitchen? Room to walk behind the chairs? Brookside plans the footprint around your furniture, doors, stairs, cooking, and entertaining so everything fits and flows.
Get More Months Out of Your Deck
Enjoy spring afternoons, hot summer days, and cool fall evenings. Brookside can plan shade, covered areas, and lighting around Pennsylvania’s changing seasons so you can enjoy your deck more often.
Make the Most of Your Property
Sloped yard? Second-story door? Mature trees or a view worth keeping? Brookside works with your property, placing stairs, levels, railings, and gathering areas where they make the most sense.
Make It Look Like It Was Always There
Your deck should feel like part of your home, not an addition tacked onto it. Brookside coordinates the design, materials, colors, railings, and details with your home so everything looks and feels like it belongs.

Make It Yours
Once the layout takes shape, you get to decide how your deck will look and feel. Brookside can help you compare decking, colors, railings, coverage, lighting, and other details to create something distinctly yours.
Pressure-Treated Wood or Composite Decking?
| Pressure-Treated Wood | Advanced PVC / Composite Decking | |
|---|---|---|
| Look & Feel | Natural wood with classic character | Wide range of colors and finishes; splinter-free surfaces |
| Maintenance | Requires periodic cleaning and restaining | Lower maintenance; no painting or restaining |
| Best Fit | You want the warmth of real wood to feel at home with your house and landscape—and you don’t mind maintaining it. | You want more freedom to coordinate colors and finishes with your home, plus less maintenance over time. |
Brookside works with trusted composite decking brands, including Trex, TimberTech, and AZEK, and can help you compare appearance, upkeep, cost, and long-term tradeoffs before you choose.
Look Beyond the Deck Boards
The decking is only the beginning. Choose railings that complement your home without hiding the view, stairs that land where you want to enter the yard, coverage for shade and passing showers, and lighting that keeps the space comfortable after dusk.
Brookside can bring those details together so they feel like parts of one design, not upgrades added one at a time.
Give an Older Deck a New Life
You may not need to start over to get more from the deck you already have. Worn wood, dated railings, awkward stairs, or years of maintenance can be an opportunity to rethink what’s there.
Brookside can evaluate your existing deck and help you decide what makes sense to keep, replace, redesign, or rebuild. Update pressure-treated wood with composite decking, add new railings, improve how the stairs connect to your yard, or make bigger changes to the layout and design.
One Brookside Team From First Idea to Finished Deck
From the first design conversation to the final details, an experienced Brookside team supports your project. With more than 25 years of remodeling experience and skilled craftspeople who care about doing things right, your deck gets the same attention to quality as the rest of your home.
“The quality of the work was excellent. I was impressed that everyone who worked on this job was competent, cooperative, and interested in doing things right.”

Common Questions
How much does it cost to build a custom deck in Lancaster, PA?
Cost depends on the deck’s size, materials, railings, stairs, coverage, site conditions, and design. Brookside develops your project scope and investment around what you want to build.
How big should my deck be?
Your deck should fit how you’ll use it and the scale of your home and yard. Brookside considers furniture, grilling, guests, walking space, doors, and stairs when planning the right footprint.
Do I need a permit to build or replace a deck in Lancaster County?
It depends on your municipality and project scope. New and reconstructed decks may require zoning approval, building permits, plans, or other documentation. Requirements vary across Lancaster County.
Can I put composite decking on my existing deck frame?
Possibly. The existing frame must be structurally sound and compatible with the new decking. Brookside can evaluate the framing, joist spacing, connections, and condition to determine what can stay.
How long does it take to design and build a custom deck?
Timelines vary based on design, size, materials, permits, site conditions, and weather. Brookside establishes the schedule around your specific project and keeps you updated throughout the process.
Build the Deck That Belongs With Your Home
Sometimes it’s breakfast for two. Sometimes the kids have friends over, and everyone spills outside. Sometimes the whole family is there, and you need another place to gather.
