Thomasville Decks builds composite decks, custom wood decks, screened porches, and fences for homeowners in High Point. We have been working in the Piedmont Triad since 2015, we pull every permit through the city, and we write out the price before work begins.
High Point's high summer humidity and regular rainfall make composite decking a practical long-term choice for homeowners who do not want to sand, stain, and seal every couple of years. Composite deck installation gives you a surface that resists moisture, holds its color, and stays splinter-free - well-suited to older High Point homes that are due for an outdoor upgrade.
High Point covers over 55 square miles with homes ranging from 1950s brick ranches in Emerywood to newer vinyl-sided houses on the south side. A custom deck is designed around your specific home, lot, and how you want to use the space - not applied from a template that was built for a different kind of yard entirely.
A large share of High Point's homes were built before 1980, and decks from that era are often showing their age - soft boards, corroded fasteners, and ledger connections that no longer meet current building codes. Catching these problems early, before the damage works its way into the house framing, is far less expensive than a full structural repair later.
High Point summers run hot and humid from June through September, and the insect pressure on uncovered outdoor spaces can make them genuinely unpleasant to use. A screened porch or covered deck extends the usable season by months, giving you outdoor space that works even when the weather does not fully cooperate.
High Point homeowners in established neighborhoods often want fencing for privacy, to contain pets, or to separate their yard from a neighboring property. We install vinyl, wood, and privacy fence options across the city - including on older in-town lots where property lines and utility easements require extra attention before any post goes in.
Many High Point homeowners with well-kept yards in neighborhoods like Westchester have backyards that feel unfinished without some kind of defined outdoor structure. We build deck-attached and freestanding pergolas that add shade and character, and we often combine a pergola with a new deck surface so the two are designed together from the start.
High Point has one of the more varied housing stocks in the Piedmont Triad - older brick homes in Emerywood and Westchester on large, wooded lots sit alongside mid-century ranch houses on modest in-town parcels, and newer vinyl-sided subdivisions fill in the outer edges of the city. Each type of home presents different challenges for deck construction. Older brick homes often have concrete patios or masonry walls that affect how a new deck attaches to the structure. Newer construction on slab foundations requires a different ledger approach entirely. A contractor who works regularly in High Point has encountered all of these situations and knows what each one requires.
The climate in High Point follows the same Piedmont Triad pattern as the rest of central North Carolina - roughly 45 inches of rain per year, hot and humid summers, and winters that bring periodic ice storms and freeze-thaw cycles. The red clay soil underlying most of the city expands with moisture and contracts as it dries, which puts ongoing pressure on deck footings and concrete flatwork. Decks built without proper footing depth and sizing for these soil conditions tend to develop problems within a few years - settling, leaning, or pulling away from the ledger board are the most common signs. These issues are avoidable with the right approach upfront.
Our crew works throughout High Point regularly. We pull permits through the City of High Point Inspections Division and are familiar with what the city requires at each stage of a residential deck project. High Point is a city of about 115,000 people, and its neighborhoods span a wide range of housing ages and styles - from the well-maintained older homes on Emerywood's tree-lined streets to the newer subdivisions spreading out toward the south and west sides of the city. We have worked on both, and the jobs require different approaches.
Most people in the area know High Point as the Furniture Capital of the World, home to the High Point Market - the largest home furnishings trade show on the planet, held twice a year and drawing tens of thousands of visitors to the city. That trade history has shaped High Point's neighborhoods and its residents, many of whom have lived here for generations. We work on homes across the city, from the older in-town streets near the showrooms downtown to the quieter neighborhoods further out. If you are in nearby Archdale, just to the south of High Point, we cover that area as well.
High Point sits between Greensboro and Thomasville on the US-311 and I-74 corridor, and many of the homeowners we work with in High Point are also connected to communities on both sides. We serve homeowners throughout this part of the Piedmont Triad, so if your neighbors or family are in Thomasville or elsewhere in the county, we work there too.
Call or submit your project details through our contact form. We will respond within one business day. It helps to have a rough idea of size, material preferences, and whether the existing yard has any slope - but you do not need to know any of that before you reach out.
We schedule a time to walk your yard within a few days. On older High Point homes we pay close attention to the existing structure - ledger attachment points, existing patios or slabs, and any drainage patterns near the house. Your estimate breaks out materials, labor, and permit fees as separate line items.
After you sign, we submit the permit to the City of High Point Inspections Division on your behalf. Standard residential deck permits in High Point typically take one to two weeks to approve. We schedule the required footing inspection before any concrete is poured - this is not optional and we do not skip it.
Construction on a standard deck runs five to ten working days. When work is complete we call for the city's final inspection and do a full walkthrough with you before closing out the job. You leave with documentation that the work passed inspection.
We serve homeowners throughout High Point and the surrounding Piedmont Triad. Call us or fill out the form and we will get back to you within one business day - no pressure, no commitment required.
(743) 347-0033High Point is a city of about 115,000 people in the southern part of the Piedmont Triad metropolitan area, bordered by Greensboro to the northeast and Winston-Salem to the northwest. The city is best known internationally as the home of the High Point Market, the world's largest home furnishings trade show, which has anchored the local economy and identity for generations. About 55 percent of housing units in High Point are owner-occupied, and a substantial portion of the city's homes were built between the 1940s and 1980s - giving many neighborhoods a well-established feel with mature trees and brick-exterior homes on reasonably sized lots.
The Emerywood and Westchester neighborhoods are among the most recognized in the city, known for larger homes on wooded lots with quiet streets - a different feel from the newer subdivisions spreading out to the south and west. High Point covers about 55 square miles, so the character of the housing stock changes significantly depending on which part of the city you are in. The older in-town areas tend to have brick construction, existing patios, and more complex lot grades. Newer outer neighborhoods more often feature slab foundations and vinyl siding with smaller yards. If your home falls outside High Point proper, we also serve homeowners in nearby Archdale and Trinity, both just to the south.
