Essential Extras, Inc. creates unique outdoor spaces and structures such as screened porches, gazebos, pergolas, shade arbors, and custom fencing and privacy screening. Designs and projects often include landscaping, hardscaping, and low voltage lighting. We design to match the scale, look, style, and flow of the existing area. Our full portfolio has thousands of pictures of our decks, pergolas and other projects. We use many different railing and decking materials–mostly woods, plastics, composites and aluminum. We do most types of residential remodeling from small repairs to major projects like room additions and basement refinishing. Our process begins by determining the function or desired end result. Then we work back to the physical project so that our designs integrate the rationale, the physical setting, and our clients' taste. We strive to be truly custom and creative. No two people or projects are alike. Essential Extras, Inc. easily accommodates unusual projects, situations, and unique custom original designs. We make interior, exterior, added, or remodeled space blend into existing space structurally, functionally, and aesthetically–we make it look like it "belongs". Depending on your preference, we offer design and plans service, construction supervision, design/build agreements, or complete turnkey service.
"Terry was very informative and provided lots of input during the initial design process to help us determine the best use of our space. He is very thorough and kept us informed during the construction process. Marty, is a great installer and was very tidy and meticulous with his work. Jeff from Monarch Concrete is great to work with as well. His team did a great job forming our new concrete patio and finishing it. We love our new deck and patio and would recommend Terry and his team at Essential Extras to anyone who needs this type of installation."

"Coby called me for a bid on Angie to perform a maintenance stain on my deck. He had experience with the TWP stain I preferred, and was confident in his painters expertise. His price was very reasonable as well. They were able to come out and power wash it, purchase the stain and complete the job within 2 weeks. He also added a side walk concrete power washing essentially free of charge. There was also a spot where BBQ sauce had been spilled that Ricardo was able to remove using lacquer thinner, which worked great! I couldn’t find this recommendation on google anywhere, which shows their high level of experience. Their overall attention to a job well done as well as my 100 satisfaction was very clear. They were easy to communicate with and Coby was very responsive. I highly recommend this company, and will seek them out for any other services they provide in the future!"

"Mr. Barrett was sensational. My home is 35 years old, and the faucet handle was so badly corroded that it was difficult even to turn off the water. In spite of the corrosion and difficulty in removing the old fixture and installing the new one, Mr. Barrett never lost his patience and continued to work on the fixture at a time when most plumbers probably would have given up and tried to sell me lots of expensive new piping. I used Handyman Barrett for the first time just one week ago for an entirely different project, and I will certainly call him again for any home projects."

Composite decking stands up to weather, insects, and daily wear without the yearly sanding and staining that wood needs. The boards keep their color, resist splintering, and won’t warp in the sun, so you can spend more time relaxing and less time on upkeep. Over its 25- to 50-year life span, that durability can easily offset the slightly higher upfront price.
Yes, you can install composite decking on a rooftop, but the structure must handle the added weight and have the right slope for drainage. A structural engineer or experienced deck builder will confirm load limits, recommend specialized fasteners, and design a ventilation layer that keeps moisture from collecting under the boards. Those extra steps protect both the roof and your new deck for decades.
Building a composite deck starts with permits and a solid foundation of footings and framing. Next, installers lay joists, secure hidden fasteners, and place the deck boards, followed by railings and stairs if you need them. The job wraps up with a final inspection and thorough cleanup, leaving you with a ready-to-enjoy outdoor space.
Most composite decks last 25 to 50 years—far longer than many wood options. Plastic binders shield the wood fibers from moisture, while built-in UV inhibitors keep colors from fading. Combine that durability with the absence of splinters and decay, and you get a deck that looks fresh season after season with minimal upkeep.
Timeline depends on deck size, site prep, and crew experience, but most residential projects wrap up in a few days to a couple of weeks. Simple ground-level platforms go fastest, while multi-level designs or sites that need excavation add time. A seasoned pro will give you a clear schedule and keep you informed if weather delays pop up.
Composite isn’t your only choice. For classic warmth, you can choose pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant woods or aluminum for a lightweight, water-resistant surface. Each material has its own maintenance routine, price point, and style, so weigh the look you want against how much time you’re willing to spend on upkeep.
