Outdoor Living, the Construction Corps Way

Outdoor construction in Florida requires more than aesthetic design. It requires proper footings, wind load consideration, moisture management, and compliance with local building codes.

Construction Corps designs and builds decks, patios, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens across Clearwater and the greater Tampa Bay region under licensed general contractor supervision. Projects are evaluated for structural requirements, permitting thresholds, and material performance before construction begins.

Outdoor living spaces are designed and constructed with consideration for sun exposure, humidity, storm conditions, and long-term use, in alignment with applicable building codes and structural requirements.

Why Homeowners Choose Construction Corps for Deck and Outdoor Construction

Outdoor additions are permanent structural improvements. They must be designed and built accordingly. Homeowners select Construction Corps because we provide:

  • Licensed General Contractor Oversight: Deck construction and outdoor projects supervised for structural and code compliance.
  • Design Development and Drafting: Layout planning and construction documentation prepared prior to permitting when required.
  • Permit Coordination: Municipal submissions managed for decks, covered structures, and attached outdoor additions.
  • Material Selection for Florida Climate: Composite decking, pressure-treated lumber, concrete systems, and exterior-rated components selected for durability.
  • Structural Integration: Deck framing, footings, and attachment methods evaluated for long-term performance.
  • Defined Scope Documentation: Clear project parameters established prior to construction to reduce mid-project revisions.

As a Commercial Supplier I work with a lot of companies in this trade. Construction Corps has stood out among them for their professionalism and meticulous attention to detail. Bill was always very friendly, communicative and persistent, a great trait in making sure his clients get what they need. Even Jonathan in their legal department was helpful, going above and beyond to assist us in our expansion here in the Clearwater area. And Matt and Serena are some of the most knowledgeable owners I've ever met with. Overall Construction Corps is a top-notch company that delivers outstanding results making them a go-to contractor in the area. I highly recommend them, you will most assuredly have a fantastic experience working with them.

I cannot praise Construction Corps enough. Their work ethic is second to none. We had extensive termite damage, and our home needed to be reframed. We needed to remain living in our home whilst the construction took place and knew this would be difficult however Matt & George made the process easier for our entire family. Each member of the construction corps team introduced themselves to us if we hadn’t met before, they were all courteous and professional. George would give me project updates each evening, with an idea of how the job was going and what was planned for the following day. They always turned up, they never missed a day. They worked from the moment they arrived till they left and cleaned and tided away every day. Even my neighbors commented how polite and professional the entire team were. They delivered on all of their promises. I am so grateful, the completed work looks amazing. I am recommending Construction Corps to all of my friends, and have plans to use them again the near future.

Mark and his team did an amazing job repairing an exterior wall that had a water leak, installing new flooring, and painting. Like many home projects, when the wall was opened up there was more damage than expected but we got it done and I am thrilled with the result. Thank you very much for the great work.

Matt was extremely quick to come and check out the damage my house sustained after a hurricane, quickly gave me an accurate and reasonable quote for fixes, and sent two incredibly professional and knowledgeable men to execute the work. George was such a pleasure to have help me through the stress of handling damages after one of the most stressful times in mine and my family’s lives. I would hire Construction Corps again and again for any future projects. They make me feel certain that the projects I need done will be done quickly, correctly, legally, and with a friendly and profesional attitude that can’t be beat.

This company is amazing. They go above and beyond for their customers. I had the good fortune to have them come look at my house right after Hurricane Milton, and Matt took the time and care to walk me through my house and show me what needed to be done and put everything in simple terms. He answered all of my questions and took my calls and answered more questions, found time in the company’s busy schedule to get the tear-out done in my home and stop the spread of any potential mold. I know they helped me salvage big chucks of my home due to their quickness and care, and attention to detail. Serena was behind the scenes making things happen and helping. Thank you so much you guys, you really helped my family in this difficult time!

I cannot say enough good about "Construction Corps". My AC leaked causing mold to my kitchen. I needed to have most of my kitchen replaced along with flooring. I went ahead and added interior doors, bathroom exhaust fan, and new toilet insulation. The quality of workmen ship was what I expected. Every employee was professional and polite. Any issues (minor) were resolved with absolutely no questions asked. I took a stack of business cards to give to family and friends. I will be a repeat customer and for sure recommend "Construction Corps" as the best contractor I've worked with.

Amazing company, the owners are extremely kind and easy to work with, and the quality of the work is beyond. We asked for an estimate of work and pricing for a deck behind our home, which included a full deck to support an outdoor kitchen. The response was quick, the pricing was logical and reasonable, and it gave us confidence. While we have not yet done our deck here, we have been to locations where they completed decks and they look amazing, they are high quality and you can see the difference right away in the work. Highly recommend.

We had the pleasure of working with Jonathan at Construction Corps recently. I can’t say enough about how impressed we were with every element of our engagement. Jonathan and his staff took immediate interest in our project by contacting us the day after our inquiry. He scheduled a time to come out and provide a quote within a few days. And within a week, we had his detailed quote that matched our specifications. All of his communication and follow up was thorough, easy to understand and timely. His responsiveness to our questions was refreshing; he always took ample time and interest. At the end of the project, his invoice matched the work completed, including some additional work for which he did not charge us. Integrity in this industry is everything; Jonathan and Construction Corps nail it at every turn. Highly recommended! Tim

Construction Corps-real people with such care and such integrity. I don’t know what we would have done without the help and guidance that was provided by this excellent company! My daughter’s home was badly damaged in the last hurricane. With all the knowledge AND service provided - without inflating prices- we got through it. It’s a real pleasure to meet and do business with a family owned and run company that puts actual service and care before profit. There were many greedy companies that came from all over the US in a feeding frenzy to line their pockets. Construction Corps just plain helped and told the truth. It changed our lives. For a fair deal with an honorable company- you can’t go wrong.

We started out with a general contractor who had us pay upfront to get an architect to design our Florida room and lanai that was damaged by an old roof. After payment was processed and architectural plans were furnished, the first general contractor estimated an exorbitant price for a roof without a remodel. Now we were left with finding an honest general contractor who would work with our existing architectural plans. God led us to Matt and his Construction Corps Company. Matt came out to our house to see the challenge he would have to undertake and even pointed out problems that needed to be addressed, which we didn’t even know would be a problem in the future. His estimate was reasonable and fair. He agreed to use our existing architectural plans with modifications and oversaw all aspects of construction. We were always informed of the progress and never had to worry about anything. The crew sealed off our home to the outside, when the walls were demolished, and the dust was minimal. We were able to continue living in our home throughout the process. They were able to accurately bend our old house with the new construction. The crew was always punctual, professional, and friendly. The work site was always organized, secure, and tidy. Matt would be seen checking on the progress throughout the entire project. They were doing such a fantastic job that they agreed to do additional side work. Our home is now beautiful, but most of all hurricane strong. We have now commissioned them to build a shed. We would highly recommend them to everyone for their complicated jobs or their small ones. Construction Corps does a great job and a whole lot more!

Construction Corps are amazing to work with! Our house was flooded by last year's hurricanes. The emotional toll of being displaced from your home is immense. The Construction Corps team, especially Russ, made rebuilding far less stressful than we could imagine. At the end of the project, they felt more like family than just contractors. Their team is easy to communicate with, and they kept us informed every step of the way. When they said someone would be there, they meant it. There were none of the usual no-shows. They also take pride in their work. The craftsmanship of their team is top-notch and despite a major permit delay by the county they still managed to finish before the deadline. If you’re looking for a construction company that delivers top-notch work without hassle, these are the guys to call. Highly recommended!

FAQ Decks & Outdoor Spaces

Do I need a permit for a deck or outdoor structure?

In most cases, yes. Decks, pergolas, covered patios, and other structural outdoor additions typically require permitting based on size, attachment method, and local building regulations. Construction Corps evaluates permitting requirements during project planning and coordinates municipal submissions and inspections where required.

What materials do you recommend for decks in Florida?

We typically recommend composite or pressure-treated materials designed to resist humidity, UV rays, and insects.

Can you match my home’s existing style?

Absolutely. Our designers ensure that your new deck or patio complements your home’s architecture and finishes.

Do you offer outdoor lighting or kitchen installation?

Yes. We provide full-service installations, including lighting, plumbing, and appliance hookups.

How long does construction take?

Timelines vary based on scope and permitting requirements. Most outdoor construction projects take approximately 4–10 weeks from permits being issued to completion.
