Work with a Crew That’s Professional & Easy to Work With

• Respectful On-Site Conduct: Our crews are mindful that we’re working at your home. Job sites are kept orderly, and your house, landscaping, and routines are treated with care.
• Clear, Day-To-Day Communication: Questions are answered promptly, changes are discussed before work moves forward, and you’re kept informed as the project progresses.
• Reliable Scheduling & Follow-Through: Work starts when scheduled and moves forward consistently, reducing unnecessary disruptions or prolonged construction timelines.
• Courtesy Toward Neighbors & Surroundings. Noise, access, and shared spaces are handled thoughtfully, especially in closely spaced neighborhoods.

How We Move Projects from First Visit to Completion

Concept Decks follows a three-phase approach that keeps decisions organized and responsibilities clear.

• Initial Design Phase: We begin with an on-site visit to review the property, followed by conversations about layout, use, and priorities. Budget considerations are addressed early and shaped into a clear proposal, supported by design visuals when appropriate.
• Project Preparation Phase: Once plans are approved, we prepare building and site plans, manage permit submissions, and finalize materials. This work happens before construction so scheduling and sequencing stay predictable.
• Construction & Completion Phase: Construction follows a planned sequence, beginning with demolition as needed and continuing through full build-out. Quality is monitored throughout, and the project concludes with a final walkthrough to confirm details and readiness for use.

Building for Bethlehem’s Ground Conditions & Climate

Bethlehem properties often sit on limestone-based soils that require careful planning below grade. Frost depth, ground movement, and drainage all affect how outdoor structures should be built.

Concept Decks selects footing methods, base systems, and construction techniques based on site conditions rather than convenience. Where ground stability is a concern, those risks are addressed during planning so the structure remains stable over time.

Above ground, materials are chosen to handle humidity, temperature swings, and freeze-thaw cycles without demanding constant maintenance. The objective is a space that stays usable and visually consistent through seasonal changes.

Proven Experience Working Across Local Neighborhoods

Bethlehem is not a city with just one type of neighborhood. Some homes fall within historic districts. Others sit on larger suburban lots.

Concept Decks works within both environments. In older neighborhoods, that means paying attention to proportions, finishes, and materials that complement the home rather than compete with it. In newer areas, it means designing outdoor spaces that make full use of the property while staying within local zoning limits. 

In both cases, projects are planned with an understanding of how approvals work and what typically causes delays. This approach reduces redesigns, avoids compliance issues, and results in a finished space that feels appropriate to its setting.

Get Honest Pricing & Find a Financing Plan That Works for You

Conversations about cost work best when they’re straightforward and specific. From the beginning, our team explains how pricing is built and what factors influence it.

We walk through how site conditions, materials, layout choices, and structural requirements affect the price. When adjustments are needed, we talk them through in real terms so you can decide what makes sense to change and what’s worth keeping.

If paying everything upfront isn’t the right approach, financing options are available. We’ll review those options with you and help look at different ways to move forward, whether that means spreading payments out or refining the scope to stay comfortable financially.

We Are Certified Installers of Trex® & Deckorators® Products

Concept Decks works with composite decking systems from Trex® and Deckorators® because they offer controlled finishes, consistent color, and long-term durability without the maintenance demands of traditional wood. These products are often well-suited for properties where appearance matters just as much as longevity.

Because our team is certified, these materials are installed exactly as designed, which protects manufacturer warranties and reduces the risk of early wear or replacement. That attention to installation standards helps ensure the finished space continues to look intentional and perform reliably as seasons and years pass.
