Custom Deck Building for Greenwood Homeowners
We’re Decks On Point, a custom deck company based just up the road in Westfield. We work around Greenwood often enough to know how a flat lot off Smith Valley Road handles a build differently than one backing up to a wooded ravine on the south side of town.
Every deck we build starts as a 3D design. Before you commit a dollar, you get to see your deck in detail, move the stairs, widen the landing, and see exactly where the afternoon shade lands.
Once you sign off on the drawing, the price is locked in. You’ll know the number before we ever unload a board.
We build in capped composite, and that choice matters because our summers are humid, and a wood board absorbs that moisture and grays out within a few seasons. TimberTech and other capped decking shrugs the weather off and still looks right a decade later.

What Greenwood Homeowners Are Saying
Here’s what Greenwood-area homeowners have told us after the last board went down.

Kari Waddell
Carter and his team were so great to work with from the start of our project. They worked rain or shine, and were great communicating updates along the way.
Carter was quick to address any concerns/questions we had, and we could not be happier with the finished product!

Matt Kinder
We have been working with Carter from Decks On Point on several projects, including outdoor living spaces and deck projects.
His attention to detail and willingness to listen to his clients ideas as well having his own input to make it a cohesive design is a perfect match. It has been a pleasure working with Carter.
Greenwood, IN, Deck Building Cost and Fixed-Price Bids
Here’s the range recent Central Indiana projects have actually landed in.
Budget builds, roughly $14,000 to $20,000
A single-level composite deck in the 150 to 300 sq. ft. range, giving you a proper spot for a table and a grill off the back door. A 200 sq. ft. composite deck we built over in Carmel came in right around $14,000.
Mid-range builds, roughly $20,000 to $40,000
More square footage, a set of wide stairs down to the yard, upgraded railing, and often deck lighting or a built-in bench worked into the plan. A 400 sq. ft. build we did in Noblesville cost about $20,000.
Premium design-build, $40,000 and up
Multi-level layouts, wraparound designs, waterfront builds, and the full run of custom railing, lighting, and integrated features. One of our biggest projects, a 3,000 sq. ft. deck out on Geist, reached around $196,000.
These are honest ballparks. The number you’ll actually plan around is the one in your written bid, which you get after the in-home visit and 3D design.
If you want to see how the material choice swings the total, our guide on composite deck cost breaks it down further.
Composite Decking Materials Alternative
Most people still picture a wood deck when they start planning, and we get it: that’s what everybody grew up with. We build the alternative, and once you see how little a composite deck asks of you while looking as good as it does on day one, the choice tends to make itself.
Here’s what we build with and why each one earns its place.
- TimberTech Composite (PVC): Our first recommendation, and the brand we're certified to install. It's a capped polymer board that stays cool enough to walk barefoot on and comes with a long manufacturer warranty, plus our own lifetime workmanship warranty.
- Trex Composite: A capped wood-and-plastic board and a strong pick when you want a specific color or a slightly warmer look at a friendly price. It also fights rot and fading, so it's an option worth considering.
- Techo-Bloc: When your plan includes a patio landing where the stairs meet the yard, we set it in Techo-Bloc pavers, which handle our freeze-thaw ground far better than a poured slab that heaves and cracks.
- Master Halco: For railing, gate, and privacy-screen systems, we source through Master Halco, so the piece your hand actually rests on is built to the same standard as the frame under your feet.
Not sure which board is right for your yard? Read how different composite decking brands stack up against each other. And with our custom deck design session, you’ll see every option rendered on your own deck before you decide.
Deck Repair vs. Replacement: Full-Service Restoration
If your current deck feels bouncy underfoot or has a railing you’d rather guests not lean on, the first step is finding out what’s actually wrong. That’s why we start with a full structural assessment and give you a straight answer on your deck’s condition.
| Deck Repair | Full Deck Replacement | |
|---|---|---|
| Best when | Framing, footings, and ledger are sound; the surface is worn | Framing, footings, or the ledger are failing or unsafe |
| Solution | Redeck, rebuild railings and stairs, correct weak points on proven framing | New footings, frame, boards, railings, and stairs from the ground up |
| Cost | Lower, since the substructure stays | Higher, and it resets the deck's clock |
| Added lifespan | Tied to the framing underneath | Decades on a fully new structure |
| Warranty | Workmanship warranty on the work we perform | Full lifetime workmanship warranty |
When the structure’s sound, a full restoration gives you a brand-new composite deck on proven framing. If it isn’t, we’ll explain why in plain terms so you can make an informed decision. Either way, our guide on deck replacement vs repair walks through the important considerations.
Deck Permit Requirements in Greenwood, IN
A new deck in Greenwood almost always needs a permit, and we handle that whole process for you.
We pull the permit through the City of Greenwood building department, submit the drawings, and meet the inspector on site. You never have to take a day off to stand in the yard waiting.
Our decks are engineered to Indiana’s residential code from the first drawing, so the framing inspection tends to go quickly. To learn more, check out our overview of deck building codes in Indiana.
Climate Care for Central Indiana Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Winter is what quietly wrecks decks around here. Central Indiana runs through dozens of freeze-thaw swings a year, where the ground soaks up water, freezes, expands, and shoves anything sitting in it upward.
We build every deck to ride out the seasons, and most of that work is in the parts you never see:
- Footings dug below the frost line, so winter heave can't lift or twist the deck the way it does a shallow-set one.
- Capped composite boards, that don't soak up the water that seeps into a wood deck and freezes inside the grain.
- Proper flashing and ledger attachment where the deck ties to the house, which is where water and rot start when it's done carelessly.
- Framing and fasteners rated, for the full swing between humid Julys and intense January freezes.

Common Questions About Deck Building in Greenwood, IN
How much does a custom deck cost in Greenwood, IN?
Most of our composite builds range from about $14,000 for a simple single-level deck to $40,000+ for a larger multi-level design with upgraded railing and lighting, with premium and waterfront projects running higher. Your exact number comes on a written bid after the free in-home visit and 3D design, and that price holds from start to finish.
How long does a deck build take from signing to completion?
Once the permit is in hand, most decks take about 1-2 weeks on-site, depending on size, weather, and how much custom work is involved. The bigger bulk of the timeline is usually the permit and material lead time up front, which we manage for you and keep you up-to-date.
Do I need a permit for a new deck in Greenwood, IN?
Almost always, yes. Greenwood requires a permit for new deck construction, and we pull it, submit the drawings, and handle the inspections as part of the job. It’s one less thing on your plate.
What's your deck warranty?
Every new deck we build comes with a lifetime workmanship warranty, and your composite boards have their own manufacturer warranty on top of that. Together, the build and the material are covered for the long haul.
