Deck Building Across Conway's Neighborhoods
Evergreen Deck Co builds and rebuilds decks throughout Conway, Arkansas, from the older lots near Hendrix College to the newer subdivisions out past Salem Road. Our crews know Faulkner County soil, Conway's permit counter, and what Arkansas summers do to an unprotected board. Call (501) 602-6746 to talk through your lot.
Evergreen Deck Co provides deck building, replacement, repair and railing work throughout Conway, Arkansas, and surrounding Faulkner County areas including Mayflower, Vilonia, Greenbrier and Mount Vernon. Work covers pressure-treated, composite and multi-level decks on flat, sloped and clay-heavy lots, with permit coordination handled for each build.
Conway homeowners call us because we build for this specific place rather than a generic set of plans. A deck off a 1940s bungalow near Old Conway and Simon Park sits on different ground than one behind a new build off Hogan Lane, and the footing depth, drainage and framing reflect that. We have worked on lots sloping toward Tucker Creek, on yards that back up to the Beaverfork Lake side of town, and on rentals filled with UCA and Central Baptist College students where durability matters more than detail. Faulkner County's heavy red clay swells when the rain comes and shrinks hard in July, so posts that were not set below the frost line and bedded correctly will move within a few seasons. Arkansas humidity and the long stretch of 90-plus days also drive material choice and fastener selection more than most homeowners expect. We also read HOA covenants in the newer Conway subdivisions before we design, because railing height, screening and stain colors are often spelled out. Local knowledge saves rework, and rework is what costs people money.
Our Services in Conway, AR
Our work in Conway centers on custom deck building, and the detail of materials, framing and pricing lives on our Deck Builder service page. Here is how each piece plays out locally. New deck construction: ground-up builds sized to your lot, including elevated and multi-level decks for the sloped yards common on Conway's west and north sides where a walkout grade drops several feet in a short run. Deck replacement: tearing out failed pressure-treated structures from the 1990s and early 2000s, which are widespread in Conway's established neighborhoods and frequently show rotted ledger boards and corroded fasteners after two decades of Arkansas humidity. Composite and low-maintenance decking: a popular choice here because staining a deck every other summer in this climate is a real chore; we walk you through capped composite versus treated southern yellow pine. Repairs and board replacement: joist sistering, ledger flashing correction, and replacing soft boards on decks that are otherwise sound. Railings and stairs: code-compliant guardrails and stair geometry, plus cable, metal and wood options that satisfy HOA appearance rules. Covered decks, pergolas and shade structures: increasingly requested in Conway because afternoon sun makes an uncovered west-facing deck unusable from June through August. Permit and inspection coordination: we handle the paperwork with the City of Conway so your build is inspected and documented. Visit our services hub for the full list, or call (501) 602-6746 to discuss your yard.
Local Considerations for Conway, AR
Three Conway-specific factors shape nearly every project. First, soil: Faulkner County lots carry dense clay that holds water and moves with moisture swings, so we size and depth footings accordingly and pay attention to how water sheds away from the house rather than pooling under the frame. Second, climate: sustained summer heat, high humidity and sudden heavy rain accelerate rot, cupping and fastener corrosion, so we specify hot-dipped galvanized or stainless hardware, proper ledger flashing, and gapping that lets boards dry. Third, rules: decks in the city limits generally require a building permit and must respect rear and side setbacks, and elevated decks draw closer inspection on guardrail height and stair rise. Properties outside city limits fall under Faulkner County requirements instead. Newer Conway subdivisions layer HOA architectural review on top of that, which can govern height, materials, color and whether a structure is visible from the street. We confirm all three before a board is cut.
Why Choose Evergreen Deck Co?
We are a Conway-based builder, not a crew driving in from Little Rock for the day. That means we can meet you at your house on short notice, re-measure when a design changes, and come back if something needs attention after the build. We know which streets have alley access for material delivery, which parts of town sit on the worst clay, and how long the permit and inspection cycle typically runs here. Every project starts with a free on-site deck estimate: we look at the grade, the ledger attachment point, door thresholds, drainage and sun exposure, then talk through material options and a realistic budget range before any commitment. You get a written scope that lists framing, decking, fasteners, railings and cleanup, so there are no surprises. Most Conway homeowners want a deck they can actually use in July and will not be re-staining every other spring, and that is the conversation we have. Call (501) 602-6746 to schedule your free estimate.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Conway, AR
Old Conway
Historic homes near Simon Park and downtown with small back lots, mature trees and original rear porches that often need full structural replacement rather than simple board swaps.
Hendrix Village
Walkable new-urbanist homes near Hendrix College where compact rear yards and tight setbacks call for carefully sized decks and often a covered or screened structure.
Centennial Valley
Established golf course neighborhood with larger homes, sloping rear yards and HOA covenants that commonly influence railing style, deck height and finish color.
Tucker Creek
Homes near the Tucker Creek walking trail with drainage-sensitive yards where footing placement and water runoff planning matter as much as the deck framing itself.
Stone Links
Newer subdivision lots with grade changes behind the house, frequently suited to multi-level or elevated decks with code-compliant stair runs.
Salem Road corridor
Rapidly built subdivisions on the west side where builder-grade original decks are small and homeowners expand them for grilling, seating and shade.
Hogan Lane area
Newer construction north of town on fresh-graded clay lots, where settling and drainage are the main structural concerns for a first deck.
Beaverfork Lake area
Lakeside and near-lake properties where elevated decks, moisture exposure and views drive design, and composite decking is a frequent request.
Prince Street area
Mid-century homes near UCA, including rental properties where owners want durable, low-maintenance decks that hold up to heavy student use.
Cadron Ridge
Wooded lots on Conway's northwest edge with significant slope and tree cover, often needing taller post framing and careful footing layout.
Meadowlake
Quiet established streets with 1980s and 1990s homes whose original pressure-treated decks are now at the end of their service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our services in Conway, AR
A building permit is generally required for decks in the Conway city limits, particularly those attached to the house or raised above grade, and setback distances from rear and side property lines apply. We prepare the drawings and handle the submittal and inspection scheduling as part of the project so nothing stalls mid-build.
Clay soil around Conway expands when saturated and shrinks during dry summers, which can lift or tilt shallow posts over time. We dig footings to appropriate depth, bear on undisturbed soil, and plan for water to drain away from the structure. Proper footing work is the single biggest factor in how long a Conway deck stays level.
Composite decking suits Conway's climate well because it does not require the annual or biennial staining that treated pine needs here, and it resists the rot and cupping that high humidity accelerates. The tradeoff is higher upfront cost and more surface heat in direct sun. We compare both options against your budget during the estimate.
HOA approval is common in newer Conway subdivisions such as Centennial Valley and the Salem Road developments, where covenants can specify height, materials, color and visibility from the street. We review the covenants with you and provide drawings and material specifications formatted for architectural committee submission before construction begins.
Most Conway deck projects run one to three weeks of on-site work once materials arrive, depending on size, elevation and whether an old structure must be demolished. Permit review and inspection scheduling add time on the front and back end. Summer heat occasionally shortens work days, and we build that into the schedule.
Fall and early spring are the most comfortable building windows in Conway, with milder temperatures and less saturated ground than late winter. Summer builds are entirely workable but crews start early to avoid afternoon heat. Booking in winter often means a shorter wait for a spring completion.
Sloped lots are routine in parts of Conway, including Cadron Ridge and sections near Tucker Creek, and are handled with taller post framing, engineered beam spans and multi-level platforms that step with the grade. Elevated decks require guardrails and stair dimensions that meet code, which inspectors check closely.
Deck cost in Conway depends on size, height, material and site access, with pressure-treated builds at the lower end and capped composite with upgraded railings at the higher end. Elevated decks on sloped lots cost more because of framing and footing work. We provide a written range after an on-site visit at no charge.
