Decks, pergolas, and outdoor rooms built to last on the water
On this coast, the backyard is half the house. A deck off the river. A pergola over the fire pit. A porch ceiling you actually look up at. That's where the year gets spent.
TradeWinds Construction builds decks, pergolas, covered porches, and full outdoor rooms across Brevard and Indian River counties. Framing gets sized and fastened for Florida wind and Florida rain. Hardware gets picked for the moisture it's going to live in. And the layout gets planned before a single board goes down.
Finish carpentry is our specialty, so the parts most builders rush are the parts we enjoy. Decking scribed clean around a tree trunk. Pergola rafters tailed to one consistent profile. Corbel brackets cut and hung true. Cypress and cedar ceilings that turn a covered porch into the best room on the property.

We know these houses
Riverfront and canal lots from Micco down through Vero need decking that can take constant moisture and salt in the air. Inland, the work leans toward pergolas over paver patios and covered porches that make a hot backyard usable from spring through fall.

Questions about decks, pergolas & outdoor structures
Do I need a permit for a deck or pergola?
Usually, yes. Most decks and any roofed structure need a permit, and waterfront lots can add setback and shoreline review on top. We handle the drawings, the submittal, and the inspections as part of the job so nothing stalls halfway through.
What lasts longest out here, wood or composite?
Pressure-treated wood is the value pick and does fine if you keep up with sealing. Composite costs more up front and skips that chore, which a lot of homeowners prefer in this climate. We'll price your deck both ways and tell you which one we'd build on our own house.
Can you build around trees, pools, and existing patios?
That's most of what we do. Decks get scribed around trunks with room to grow. Pool decks get laid out so the coping line stays clean. And new structures tie into existing pavers and slabs so the transition doesn't trip anybody.
