SSKM Construction Corp designs and builds custom decks in New Paltz and across the Hudson Valley in pressure-treated wood, cedar, and low-maintenance composite. Every deck sits on frost-depth footings with properly sized framing, so it stays solid through freeze-thaw winters. We confirm New Paltz's permit requirements as part of the free, itemized estimate.
- Wood or composite? Wood costs less up front; composite skips the yearly sealing.
- Permits? We tell you what your town requires with the estimate.
- Existing deck? We rebuild failing framing, re-deck sound structure, or extend the footprint.
A deck should solve the thing your yard is missing, more room to sit outside, a place to grill, a way down to the lawn that does not feel like an afterthought. SSKM builds custom decks with one accountable crew, on footings sized for Hudson Valley winters.

Real Reviews
Rated 5.0 stars by Hudson Valley homeowners
The roof was completely done and cleaned up in 2 days, his guys had even cleaned out my gutters.
SSKM Construction did an outstanding job replacing the sheathing and removing and replacing the existing siding on my home.
It has been a pleasure and honor to work with Luis and his crew for the past 5 years.
Luis and his crew did a great job swapping out two nasty pull-out windows in my basement.
Those reviews are real, and they are on Google. If you would like to be the next one, the estimate costs nothing.

What to plan for with a new deck in New Paltz, NY

- Ledger-board attachment done right, the single most common point of deck failure nationwide
- Permit and setback requirements specific to New Paltz, confirmed before we start rather than after
- Material choice between pressure-treated wood, cedar, and composite for your budget and maintenance appetite
- Grading and drainage around the deck footprint on New Paltz's 17th-century stone houses beside a college town's newer construction, under the Shawangunks
About New Paltz, Ulster County
New Paltz sits in Ulster County on the eastern shore of the Wallkill River, which flows north into the Rondout Creek and eventually the Hudson, beneath the Shawangunk Ridge. Founded in 1678 by French Huguenot settlers, the village preserves the stone houses of Historic Huguenot Street, among the oldest surviving European-built stone houses in North America. It is also home to SUNY New Paltz, founded in 1828, the New Paltz Downtown Historic District, and the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail on a former rail corridor. Nearby are the Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska State Park, and the Mohonk Mountain House in the Shawangunks. That mountain-valley setting brings meaningful snow and ice, so the village's mix of very old and newer homes needs work that can take the weather.

Decks built for New Paltz homes
How we approach decks in New Paltz
Building a deck in New Paltz starts the same way every good deck does: below ground. We dig footings to frost depth so the structure does not heave when the ground freezes, size the ledger and joists for the actual load rather than a rule of thumb, and flash the ledger board where it meets the house so water cannot get behind the siding. None of that is visible once the decking goes down, and all of it is the difference between a deck that lasts fifteen years and one that starts to feel spongy in five.
Above ground is where you make the calls that matter to how you actually use the space: pressure-treated wood if you want the lowest upfront cost and do not mind sealing it every couple of years, cedar for a warmer look with similar upkeep, or composite if you would rather never touch it again. We walk New Paltz homeowners through that tradeoff honestly rather than pushing whichever material has the better margin, and every estimate is written and itemized before anyone picks up a tool.

Why New Paltz homeowners choose SSKM for their deck
A deck is one of the few projects where the finished product sits right outside your back door for years, so the difference between a rushed build and a properly framed one shows up fast. Homeowners in New Paltz come to us because Luis and Steven show up to look at the actual site, not a stock estimate, and because the crew that pours the footings is the same crew that finishes the railing. With 25-plus years building across the Hudson Valley, a 5.0-star rating on Google, and insurance in place, we give New Paltz homeowners a straightforward, no-pressure estimate for the deck they actually want.
