A deck or screened porch here is the perfect way to take in the natural setting. We build custom wood and composite decks, screened lanais, and pergolas for Hawthorne homeowners, engineered for Florida's climate.
From lakeside properties to homes along the rail-trail, we design decks that fit the laid-back, outdoorsy Hawthorne lifestyle.
Lakeside & Trailside Decks in Hawthorne
Hawthorne's lakes and trails make outdoor living a priority, and a screened porch is ideal for enjoying the view without the bugs. We build decks and screened lanais positioned to capture breezes and views, plus pergolas for shade during long Florida afternoons.
For lakeside and low-lying lots, we pay special attention to moisture, footing depth, and rot-resistant materials so your deck holds up in a damp environment.
Hawthorne & Alachua County Permitting
