Custom decks, covered porches, patios, and complete outdoor living spaces designed and built for Pittsburgh homes.
SelectDecks is an outdoor living design and build firm headquartered in Pittsburgh's South Hills. We design and build custom decks, covered porches and sunrooms, patios and hardscapes, and complete outdoor living spaces for homeowners across the greater Pittsburgh area.
See for yourself how we operate at a different level: premium materials, a disciplined process, genuine care for the people we build for, and the technology that keeps every project organized, communicated, and on schedule.
Most contractors show up, eyeball the yard, and give you a number. We spend one to two hours on the site visit, take measurements, walk through every option, and build a proposal detailed enough that surprises almost never happen. Our change order rate is nearly zero. That's not luck. That's process.

Elevated, multi-level, and curved decks engineered for Pittsburgh's sloped lots and freeze-thaw winters, built with mineral-based composite decking over framing designed for your site, not a template.
Covered porches, screened rooms, and sunrooms that extend the season. Roof tie-ins, structural headers, and drainage engineered up front, the details that decide whether a space performs ten years in.

Outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, fire pits, and pergolas, including adjustable louvered roof systems, designed as one integrated space from the start, not a mere collection of features bolted on the end.

completed outdoor living projects across the greater Pittsburgh region: decks, covered spaces, patios, and full backyard builds.
We catch the things that change a project before they become a problem: the slab that dictates post placement, the mechanical vent nobody planned around, the slope that calls for helical piles instead of demolition. That same attention is why a SelectDecks proposal reads like a plan, not a guess.
It's also why SelectDecks' work has been recognized by NADRA, the North American Deck and Railing Association, and honored with multiple industry awards. Recognition earned on job sites, not in marketing copy.
A covered deck built on a curved perimeter with a curved outdoor bar to match. Curves are where most builders tap out: the framing, railing, and bar top here were each custom-formed to the radius. A true one-of-a-kind in Pittsburgh.

The honest answer: it depends on size, materials, and features. Most SelectDecks projects start in the $60,000–$80,000 range, and many land well above $100,000 — though we do take on projects with budgets starting around $30,000. After your site visit, you'll get a detailed line-item proposal, not a ballpark.

Freeze-thaw cycles are the hardest thing Pittsburgh, PA does to an outdoor space. It's why we build with mineral-based composite decking and engineer footings below the frost line — and why the cheapest bid, built with materials that fail in predictable ways here, ends up the most expensive deck you can buy.
Construction typically runs 2–6 weeks depending on scope. Including design, selections, permitting, and engineering, expect roughly 8–10 weeks from proposal approval to completion. You'll get a detailed timeline during your consultation — and we keep to it.
Yes. Requirements differ across Pittsburgh-area boroughs and townships, and many South Hills and North Hills communities have HOA review on top of that. We handle the drawings, submissions, and approvals as part of the process.
