Services
Every job below starts the same way: a free estimate, a written quote, and the owner on the job. Pick the service that sounds like yours, then request a quote.
Wood Decks
What is included: pressure-treated framing and decking, rails, and stairs, sized to your yard and how you use it.
How it usually goes: Martin measures, you pick the layout and rail style, we build, and we walk it together at the end.
How long does a wood deck last?
It depends on sun, rain, and upkeep. Keeping it clean and sealed on schedule is what stretches its life.
Can you replace just the boards?
Sometimes. If the frame is still solid, a re-deck can make sense. If the frame is soft, a rebuild is the honest answer.
Do I need to stain it?
Wood decks need periodic sealing or staining to hold up. We will tell you what schedule fits your deck.
Composite Decks
What is included: composite decking with matching rails and trim, built on a solid frame.
How it usually goes: pick a board color from samples, get a written quote, and we build to the board maker's spacing and fastening guidance.
Is composite really low-maintenance?
It skips the yearly staining wood needs, but it still wants a wash now and then.
Does composite get hot in the sun?
Darker colors hold more heat. Lighter colors stay cooler — worth weighing if the deck faces full afternoon sun.
Can composite go over an old frame?
Only if the frame is in good shape and spaced for composite. We check it before saying yes.
Screened Porches
What is included: framing, screening, and a finished floor and ceiling, so the porch works in bug season and in a summer shower.
How it usually goes: we look at your existing porch or slab, talk through screen framing and door placement, then build it out.
Can you screen in a porch I already have?
Often, yes — if the roof and posts are sound. We check the structure first.
Will it keep out all bugs?
Good screening and tight doors cut them way down. Tiny gaps still matter, so the finish work counts.
Can a screened porch become a room later?
That is a bigger step — walls, windows, and climate control. Tell us at the estimate and we will plan the framing with that in mind.
Covered Decks & Pergolas
What is included: a roof or pergola structure over your deck or patio, tied in so it sheds water and stands up to wind.
How it usually goes: we check how the cover ties to the house, pick the roof or pergola style, and build it to match the house.
Roof or pergola — which is better?
A roof gives real rain shelter. A pergola gives filtered shade and an open feel. It comes down to how you want to use the space.
Will a cover darken the rooms inside?
It can. We talk through the depth and direction before building so you are not surprised.
Can you add a cover to my existing deck?
If the deck and footings can carry it, yes. We verify that before quoting.
Fences
What is included: privacy, shadowbox, farm, and wire fences, with posts set to hold and gates that swing true.
How it usually goes: we walk the line with you, mark gates and corners, and build straight runs even on uneven ground.
What if I am not sure where my property line is?
We build to markers you can point to. If markers cannot be located, a survey or re-stake comes first, before we dig.
Does my HOA need to approve the fence?
Many do. We can help with specs and a sketch for your HOA packet — ask at the estimate.
Which fence keeps dogs in?
It depends on the dog. Tell us the breed and habits at the estimate and we will match height and gaps to it.
Repairs & Rebuilds
What is included: board and rail replacement, stair fixes, and full rebuilds when the frame has had it.
How it usually goes: we walk the deck, poke the soft spots, and tell you plainly what is a repair and what is a rebuild.
Is it worth repairing an old deck?
If the frame is solid, yes. If posts or beams are rotted, patching boards on top of it wastes money.
Can you match my old boards?
We get as close as the lumber allows. New wood weathers in over time, so a fresh repair may show at first.
How fast can a repair happen?
Small repairs often fit between bigger jobs. Tell us what is broken and send a photo, and we will give you a straight answer.

About Peake Residential
Martin Peake has spent 12 years building decks and fences, and founded Peake Residential in March 2018 in Lugoff, South Carolina.
It is a small local crew, and the owner is on every job. That is not a slogan — it is how the business works: Martin measures the project, Martin writes the quote, and Martin builds it with his crew.
If you call, you talk to the person who will be standing in your yard. If something needs fixing, you know exactly who to call.

Service Area
Peake Residential is based in Lugoff and works across the Midlands of South Carolina.
LugoffCamdenElginKershawColumbiaLexingtonWinnsboroRidgewayBlythewoodIrmo
Deck builder in Lugoff, SC
Lugoff is home base. Most estimates here are a short drive away, which means faster measurements and a crew that knows the neighborhoods, the lots, and the soil.
Fence contractor in Camden, SC
Camden jobs run from in-town lots to lake and country properties. Fences here often mean long runs, gates that get daily use, and ground that is anything but flat — all walked and measured before we quote.
Deck builder in Elgin, SC
Elgin sits right next door to Lugoff, and a lot of our deck and porch work lands here — new builds on growing streets and rebuilds on older homes alike.
Deck and fence work in Columbia, SC
Columbia brings bigger lots, older decks that need honest repair-or-rebuild calls, and porches that turn a house into a place people actually sit outside.
Just outside this list? Call or text and ask — if the job fits the schedule, we will say so plainly.
