“We vetted three contractors before choosing DG Builders. David and his team understood what my wife and I were looking for. They took our vision for our new deck and made it come to life and we could not be more pleased with our decision. David was very accommodating. If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and good contractor to do business with... I can guarantee that you will not regret choosing DG Builders over all the other contractors in the upstate.”

-Travis Stallings

“I cannot thank and recommend DG Builders and their team enough for my beautiful new backyard patio! On June 17th I told them that my goal was to have it done by June 24th for a girl’s weekend at my house (which I knew was probably an impossible request and not going to happen). I’m not sure how, but they managed to get it all done - literally JUST in time!!! On top of getting having the patio beautifully completed in a quick 3 days.. I was surprised with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers, chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of Prosecco to help us celebrate our girl’s weekend! So kind of you all! THANK YOU!”

- Caitlin Dittrich

“David came highly recommended from a friend, and he didn't disappoint. They tore down and removed our old deck and built a new modern deck with screened in areas and open deck areas. We used the high quality Trex system and are very pleased with the construction. During the process we got to work with several office and construction staff and they were always helpful and courteous. We will, and have recommended David to nieghbors and friends.

- Chuck Hudson

“They were wonderful Caroline kept me informed of everything going on. The guys putting up the deck with very professional. Anyone looking for a new deck I would call them they’re great.”

Pickens is a unique place. It simply feels different here.  The land speaks to the people and the people respect the place. There is an energy here that is drawn from the land and the deep history it holds. It's an energy that has passed from the Native Americans who once roamed the landscape to fiercely patriotic colonial ancestors and beyond. This energy planted a seed of independence and true grit that has shaped the county for generations. Pickens County is an artistic and contemplative place where the land is connected to the people like an invisible lifeline.

  • Dawn and Dennis Ball: "DG Builders built us a deck with a screened in porch. They did why they said, when they said. All the crews were polite, efficient, and friendly. David and his crew firemen responded very promptly to all calls and questions. The owner, David, quoted the job and stayed in touch throughout the process. His personality and demeanor make you like and trust him quickly. Don’t look for cheap - Pick DG Builders for someone you can trust to do a high quality job for a fair price."
  • Chris Anderson: "D&G Builders just finished a deck with a screened-in porch for me. It is absolutely incredible and the entire experience with D&G exceeded our expectations. The deck was built with quality materials and put together with excellent workmanship. The crew is hard working and highly skilled. They were even kind enough to include my 6-year-old son in on a few small projects so he felt like he was a part of the crew. Outside of the crew David was also very professional, knows exactly what he is doing, and his communication was on point throughout the entire build. I cannot recommend D&G builders highly enough."
  • Paul Gentry: "DG Builders rebuilt both of our decks including installing a new roof on the upper deck. They did an excellent job. David G. is easy to work with. All his employees were very respectful to us and the property. I would recommend DG Builders for your next project."

Frequently Asked Questions about Decks in Pickens County, SC

  • Durability:
    • Weather Resistance: Composite decking is more resistant to weather extremes like humidity, intense sunlight, and heavy rain. It won't warp, crack, or splinter like wood.
    • Insect Resistance: Unlike wood, composite materials are not susceptible to termites and other wood-boring insects.
  • Low Maintenance:
    • No Need for Staining or Sealing: Composite decks don't require regular staining, sealing, or painting like wooden decks. A simple cleaning with soap and water usually suffices.
    • Mold and Mildew Resistance: Composite materials are less likely to develop mold and mildew, a significant issue in humid climates.
  • Longevity:
    • Longer Lifespan: Composite decking generally lasts longer than wood decking, often coming with warranties of 25 years or more.
  • Aesthetics:
    • Consistent Appearance: Composite decking maintains its color and appearance longer than wood, which can fade and weather over time.
    • Variety of Styles: Composite decking comes in a wide range of colors and finishes, often mimicking the look of natural wood.
  • Environmental Considerations:
    • Recycled Materials: Many composite decks are made from recycled plastics and wood fibers, making them a more environmentally friendly choice compared to new lumber.
  • Safety:
    • Slip Resistance: Composite materials can be designed to be more slip-resistant than wood, beneficial in South Carolina's wet conditions.
  • No Splinters: Composite decking doesn't splinter, making it safer for bare feet and pets.

Trex decking is a composite material made from up to 95% recycled materials, including reclaimed sawdust and recycled plastic film. This plastic comes from common household items like dry cleaner bags, newspaper bags, grocery bags, and plastic overwrap on packaging. The plastic improves the wood's resistance to water and insect damage. Trex also uses eco-friendly manufacturing processes.

Yes.

  1. Clear the deck's surface and sweep away any large debris.
  2. Spray down with a hose to remove smaller debris and dirt.
  3. Gently scrub the surface with a soft-bristle brush and warm, soapy water.
  4. Rinse thoroughly using a hose.

Trex decking offers a 50-year warranty on their Transcend line, a 25-year warranty on Enhance Basics and Naturals, but they expect it to last a lifetime.

Trex is the best composite decking to install and we are a licensed Trex retailer.

We recommend using picture frame boards on deck and stair treads.

Depending on the scope of work and any necessary preparations, most composite decks can be built within 2-8 weeks.

The process is simple:

  1. Introductory phone call: Discuss your needs, wants, and desires.
  2. On-site design consultation (if we're a good fit): David, our licensed homeowner and owner, will discuss the scope of work, budget, and schedule.
  3. Formal proposal (if you choose to move forward): David will write up a proposal for your project.
