Outdoor Living Done Right

We help homeowners across Central Indiana build decks that are solid underfoot, safe for families, and designed to last. Whether you want pressure-treated wood or low-maintenance composite, we build it right.

What We Handle

We design and build custom decks, replace old decking, and upgrade railings and stairs. We handle the permit process, dig proper frost-depth footings, and frame with structural integrity.

You get straightforward pricing, a timeline you can plan around, and a deck built with craftsmanship that holds up to rain, snow, and sun.

Decks Features

Solid Footings & Framing

We dig to code-required frost depth (30-36") so your deck doesn't heave or shift in winter.

Material Options

Choose from classic pressure-treated lumber or durable, low-maintenance composite decking.

Safe & Secure Railings

We install sturdy railings and gates that meet safety codes and look sharp.

Our Decks Process

Walk the Yard and Plan

We review your terrain, access points, and how you want to use the deck.

Clear Quote and Timeline

You receive a transparent price and a start date we stick to.

Build With Care

We construct your deck with precision, clean up the site, and leave it ready for your grill.

We hired Starling Construction to repair our home after severe damage was caused by a water pipe bursting while we were away.

We could not be happier with Brandon, his exemplary work and professionalism. He thoroughly assessed the damages, listened to our listed needs, did not upsell at all, and provided a detailed, itemized, affordable estimate with full transparency.

He was always punctual, professional, and detail-oriented. He also finished the lengthy list of work items days earlier than what was predicted.

I cannot praise and thank him enough. Do not hesitate to reach out to Starling for your home repair/ renovation needs.

Thank you so much, Brandon/ Starling! We’re forever grateful.
