Serving Thomasville, NC and surrounding areas. (743) 347-0033
Thomasville Decks is a deck builder serving Asheboro, NC, building cedar wood decks, installing composite and Trex decking, and constructing screened porches and pergolas for homeowners throughout Randolph County. We have served this region since 2015, we pull every permit through the City of Asheboro and Randolph County building offices, and we provide written estimates before any work begins.
Asheboro properties on wooded lots near the Uwharrie foothills benefit from cedar decking because it holds up to the shade and moisture that come with larger, tree-covered lots. Cedar naturally resists rot and insect damage without the chemicals in standard pressure-treated lumber, and its appearance suits the character of established Asheboro neighborhoods. Learn more about our cedar wood deck construction services and what that option includes.
Asheboro homes range from postwar ranch houses near downtown to newer two-story builds on the north side of town, and each lot has its own grade, door positions, and constraints. We design custom decks around the specific shape and slope of each property rather than applying a single template, so the finished deck fits the home correctly from day one.
Asheboro receives nearly 47 inches of rain per year, and the clay soils throughout Randolph County drain slowly - keeping moisture levels elevated around deck structures for longer than you might expect. Composite and Trex decking resists that environment, does not need sealing or staining, and holds its color and surface through the hot, humid summers that accelerate wood decay on unprotected surfaces.
A large share of Asheboro homes were built in the 1960s and 1970s, and decks on those properties are often showing their age. Clay soil movement over decades introduces stress on footings and ledger connections, and the large oak and pine trees common on Asheboro lots drop branches that damage boards and railings. We assess the full structure and recommend repair or replacement based on what the framing actually shows.
Asheboro properties with mature trees and proximity to wooded areas deal with heavier insect pressure than more open suburban lots. A screened porch or covered deck keeps that pressure in check so you can use the outdoor space through the long NC spring and summer without fighting it. Many homeowners pair a new porch with a fresh deck surface to create a complete outdoor room.
Mid-size Asheboro lots typically run a quarter to a half acre, and fence lines matter for pets, privacy along neighbor boundaries, and defining the usable yard space on a property that transitions to wooded land. We install wood privacy fences and vinyl fences throughout Asheboro and handle the permit and utility locate before the first post goes in.
Asheboro sits at the edge of the Uwharrie foothills in the heart of Randolph County, and the terrain shapes every outdoor project here. The rolling landscape means many residential lots have meaningful grade changes - sometimes between the door threshold and the back fence line. Footings for a deck on a sloped Asheboro lot need to be sized and positioned correctly from the start, or the structure will shift as the red clay soil below cycles through wet and dry seasons. Clay soil is especially prevalent in this region: it holds water close to the surface after rain and then contracts in the summer heat, applying pressure to any post or footing set in it. That cycle, repeated over many seasons, is one of the primary reasons older decks in Asheboro shift, lean, or develop railing movement over time.
The housing stock adds another layer of urgency. Census data shows a significant share of Asheboro homes were built before 1980, many of them brick-veneer ranch houses on crawl space foundations that have never had their original decks fully updated. Asheboro also gets occasional ice storms - not every winter, but enough to matter - that put sudden stress on any fastener or joint that has been slowly corroding. Combined with the hot, humid summers that drive mold and mildew growth on unprotected wood, the conditions here demand construction practices that account for long-term moisture and soil movement, not just today's appearance.
Our crew works throughout Asheboro regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect deck builder work here. We pull permits through the City of Asheboro and work with Randolph County building inspectors at every required stage. The older in-town neighborhoods near downtown Asheboro - where brick ranch homes are most common - often have narrower lots and mature tree canopy close to the house, both of which affect how we position a deck and what framing approach makes the most sense.
Asheboro is home to the North Carolina Zoo, one of the largest natural habitat zoos in the country, and the community has a strong sense of place that long-time residents have built around landmarks like downtown Asheboro, the courthouse square, and the wooded trails near Uwharrie National Forest. The city has grown on its north and east sides with newer subdivisions from the 1990s and 2000s, and those homes are now at the age where decks, siding, and outdoor structures need their first major attention.
We also serve neighboring areas regularly. Homeowners in Randleman and in Archdale call us for the same kinds of projects - and the same soil and climate conditions apply across the Randolph County area.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form and describe your project. We respond to every new Asheboro inquiry within one business day and schedule a site visit at a time that works for you - you do not need to have a detailed plan ready before you call.
We visit the property, review the grade, door positions, and existing structure if there is one, and provide a written itemized estimate before you commit to anything. There is no obligation and no cost to the estimate - we want you to know the full scope and price before making a decision.
Once you approve the estimate, we prepare and submit the permit application to the City of Asheboro and Randolph County. Permit approval typically takes one to two weeks, and we schedule your construction start as soon as it clears - you do not need to contact any government office yourself.
Most Asheboro deck projects take five to ten working days to build once materials are on site. We coordinate the required county inspections and walk through the finished project with you before we consider the job complete - if anything is not right, we correct it before we leave.
We serve homeowners throughout Asheboro and Randolph County. Written estimates, permits handled, no obligation to book.
(743) 347-0033Asheboro is the county seat of Randolph County, located in the Piedmont region of central North Carolina about midway between Greensboro and Charlotte. The city has roughly 25,000 residents and the broader Randolph County area is home to about 145,000 people. Asheboro is best known regionally as the home of the North Carolina Zoo, the largest natural habitat zoo in the United States, which draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year and sits on more than 2,600 acres near the Uwharrie region just south of the city. The older downtown commercial district near the Randolph County courthouse is a reference point for long-time residents and anchors the historic character of the community.
The residential building stock in Asheboro reflects its postwar growth. Ranch-style homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s dominate many of the city's established neighborhoods, often with brick veneer on the front face and crawl space foundations. Newer two-story homes have grown along the north and east edges of town since the 1990s, sitting on smaller, cleared lots compared to the mature-tree lots closer to downtown. Homeowners in both areas deal with Randolph County's red clay soils, the rolling terrain near the Uwharrie foothills, and a climate that delivers both wet winters and hot, humid summers. Our crew also works regularly in nearby Randleman and Lexington, where similar property types and soil conditions apply.
