Custom Deck & Railing Installation
Low-maintenance outdoor living, built for the Gulf Coast
Your deck is where waterfront living actually happens: morning coffee over the canal, sunsets with family, the walk from the house to the boat. In Southwest Florida, it also takes a beating. Salt air, UV, summer storms and humidity will gray, splinter and warp ordinary lumber in just a few seasons, and a loose or corroded railing is a safety problem, not just an eyesore.
Crocker Marine Services designs and builds decks and railing systems made for this coastline, from Cape Coral and Fort Myers to Naples and Sarasota. We build with premium, low-maintenance decking and railing, the same materials behind our custom docks, because they hold up to Florida conditions and come with some of the strongest manufacturer warranties in the industry. Every project is custom designed for your property and priced under our True Price Guarantee: the price we quote is the price you pay, with no change orders.
Build it once. Build it right. Enjoy it for decades.

What a New Deck Does for Your Waterfront Home
A well-designed deck adds usable living space and connects your home to the water. It gives you room to entertain and makes a waterfront property more appealing to buyers. Pair it with a matching railing and dock decking, and the whole waterfront reads as one finished design rather than a patchwork of materials from different decades.
Built for Salt, Sun & Storms
Southwest Florida is hard on outdoor materials. Wood decking absorbs moisture, swells, cracks, and needs regular sealing, and standard steel hardware corrodes in salt air. Premium capped boards resist moisture, fading, staining, mold, and mildew. Powder-coated aluminum railing is built to resist corrosion in coastal settings. We pair those materials with stainless and coated fasteners, proper framing ventilation, and drainage so the structure underneath lasts as long as the surface you see. Lessons from Hurricane Ian shape how we frame and anchor every deck we build.
Decking Options
We build with premium PVC and capped composite decking for their warranties and product support, with options for every look and budget.
- Premium PVC decking: Our top option, with rich, multi-tonal wood-grain looks and the highest-end finish.
- Elevated PVC decking: A natural-looking board with more color depth and texture than our classic line.
- Classic PVC decking: Solid colors with a subtle grain. A durable, low-maintenance choice at a great value.
- Capped composite decking: The same low-maintenance performance at a different price point.
- Pressure-treated wood: The traditional budget option, with the most upkeep. It can be upgraded to PVC or composite at any time.
Our PVC decking options carry a limited lifetime product warranty and a 50-year fade & stain limited warranty from the manufacturer.
Railing Options
Your railing is a safety system first and a design feature second. We install railing on decks, stairs, docks, boardwalks, and balconies.
- Aluminum railing: A sleek, minimal look that keeps your water view open. The powder-coated finish resists corrosion, and it’s our top recommendation for waterfront homes.
- Composite railing: Warm, wood-look railing that pairs with your decking.
- Drink rail: A wide top rail made from your deck boards. It gives you a place to set a drink and watch the sunset.
- Infill options: Aluminum balusters, composite balusters, glass, and cable, depending on the railing style.
- Stair and ADA handrails to match.
The railing systems we install carry a 25-year limited manufacturer warranty.
Signs You’re Ready for a New Deck or Railing
- Boards are splintering, cupping, cracking, or soft underfoot
- You’re re-staining or sealing every year just to keep up
- Railings wobble, posts are loose, or fasteners are rusting
- Storm damage to your deck, stairs, or railing
- Your railing no longer meets current code height or spacing
- You’re replacing your dock or seawall and want the deck to match
- You just bought a waterfront home and want to make the outdoor space your own
If any of these sound familiar, schedule a free site assessment and we’ll walk you through your options.
Lifespan & What to Expect
A PVC or composite deck doesn’t need sanding, staining, or sealing. Occasional cleaning with soap and water keeps it looking new. Framing built to our standards, combined with the manufacturer warranties, means your deck is built to last decades, not seasons. Crocker backs its workmanship with a 1-year workmanship warranty, and we recommend a quick inspection after any major storm.
