Deck construction in Raleigh
Composite and wood decks engineered for the span and permitted, with railing and framing details that pass inspection and hold up to the seasons.
- NC General Contractor #GC-84177
- Fixed-price proposals
- Permits handled
Hartwell Contracting handles deck construction as a general contractor: we write the scope, price it, pull the permits, and manage every trade on site until the punch list is closed. One contract, one schedule, one team responsible for the result.
How a deck construction project runs
It starts with a site walk. We measure, ask questions, and send you an itemized fixed-price proposal with a written schedule. Once you approve it, we handle permits, order materials, and run the build with our own crew and licensed subs. You get a walkthrough at the end and a clean paper trail behind it. Request a written estimate, review our other general contractor services, or read how we run a job.
We take on deck construction across Raleigh, Cary, Wake Forest, and most estimates go out within a few days of the site walk. Call (919) 555-0131 with your address and rough scope, and we will tell you honestly whether the project fits our schedule.

- Permits pulled, inspections scheduled, records closed out
- One contract covering our crew and every licensed subcontractor
- Changes in writing only, with your sign-off
- Floors protected, dust contained, tools packed up each day
How Hartwell Contracting runs a project
Most construction problems are management problems. Our job is to keep yours from having any: a clear scope, a tight schedule, and one team accountable for both.
Licensed and insured
NC General Contractor #GC-84177. General liability and workers compensation cover every trade on your site.
A written scope before any work
You approve an itemized proposal with a fixed price. Changes happen only in writing, with your sign-off.
One point of contact
We hire and supervise every subcontractor. You call (919) 555-0131 and talk to the person actually running your job.
Permits and inspections handled
We pull the permits, meet the inspectors, and close out the paperwork so your project is right on record.
A job site you can live with
Floors protected, dust contained, and tools packed up at the end of every day.
Our crew, and the trades we manage
Our own crew handles carpentry and general trades. Licensed subcontractors handle electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, and all of them work under our one contract with you, not a separate deal you have to chase. You approve the full scope and the fixed price up front, we supervise every trade on site, and you never have to coordinate a subcontractor yourself.

What Raleigh owners ask before they hire us
What does it cost to hire a general contractor?
It depends on scope, but you will always know the number before we start. We walk the site, then send an itemized fixed-price proposal at no charge. Small remodels and large builds sit far apart on cost, which is exactly why we put every figure in writing first. Call (919) 555-0131 for a real number for your project.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. NC General Contractor #GC-84177. We carry general liability and workers compensation, and every subcontractor on your site is covered under our supervision.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We prepare the paperwork, pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and close out the record with the city when the work is done.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
Both. Our crew handles carpentry and general trades. Licensed subcontractors handle electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, and all of them work under our one contract with you.
How long will my project take?
Your proposal includes a written schedule with a start date and a realistic finish date. If anything moves, you hear it from us first, not from an empty job site.
How do payments work?
A modest deposit holds your start date. After that you pay in draws tied to completed milestones, never large sums up front.
How soon can you look at my project?
Usually within a few days. Call (919) 555-0131 or send an estimate request and we will set up a site walk anywhere in Raleigh, Cary, Wake Forest.
“They ran the whole job: permits, subs, schedule, cleanup. We always knew what was coming next, and the final number matched the proposal.”
