A deck turns an empty Kenner backyard into a place to drink coffee in the morning, grill on the weekend and keep an eye on the kids. CMC's Services builds custom decks across Kenner in wood or composite, from simple platforms to covered, multi-level builds.
215+ 5-Star Google Reviews · Licensed & insuredDeck installation in Kenner covers design, permits, footings, framing, decking, railings, stairs and finish details, all built for South Louisiana heat and rain. CMC's Services starts with a site visit to see your yard, how the back of the house sits and where the sun lands in the afternoon. You choose between pressure-treated wood, cedar and composite: wood costs less up front and has a natural feel, while composite costs more but saves years of sanding and staining. We set the frame on supports sized for Kenner's soft clay, which can settle under a heavy structure if the footings are skimped. Many Kenner homeowners add a roof or pergola over part of the deck to cut summer heat and keep rain off, plus built-in benches or prep space beside the grill. We handle the permit in most cases, keep you updated during the build, and every estimate is free.
We have worked in neighborhoods from Rivertown to Chateau Estates and know the local codes and climate. You get a free estimate, a written quote and one team from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
A deck changes how much of your property you actually use.
A deck gives you a place to sit outside without the cost of a full room addition. In Kenner, where the weather is warm for much of the year, that extra space off the kitchen or den gets used most months, especially once part of it is covered.
A well-built deck is a feature buyers notice, particularly in a warm area like Kenner where outdoor space gets real use. Building it to code with a permit also keeps it from turning into a problem at inspection when you eventually sell the house.
If you like the look of real wood and do not mind a weekend of staining now and then, pressure-treated pine or cedar works well. If you would rather never sand again, composite gives you the wood look with nothing more than an occasional wash.
We do not use stock plans. A narrow Kenner lot might get a long, low platform, while a bigger yard might get a multi-level deck with a covered dining area and steps down to the lawn. We help you sort through ideas that suit your space and budget.
Here is what you get when we build your deck.
We have built across Kenner, from Rivertown to Chateau Estates. We know the local codes and the climate, which keeps your deck safe, inspected and ready for storm season. We also know which parts of town hold water after heavy rain.
We have built decks big and small for more than a decade, along with patios, fences and outdoor kitchens. That range helps when a deck has to tie into other parts of the yard.
We use pressure-treated wood, cedar and premium composite brands, matched to your budget and how much upkeep you want. Framing lumber is treated to resist moisture and insects, and posts sit on footings sized for the soil.
You are not passed between sales reps and subcontractors. You deal with our crew from the first sketch to the final walkthrough, so the person you explain your idea to is on site during the build.
Four stages, from yard visit to final walkthrough.
We walk the yard with you, talk through how you want to use the deck and answer your questions. We note the door locations, the drop from the house to the ground and any trees or utility lines in the way.
You get layout options and material suggestions, plus our input on features like a covered section, railings and lighting. Once size and materials are final, we handle the permit application if one is needed and send you the final plan to keep.
Our crew sets the footings and supports, builds the frame, lays the decking and installs railings, stairs and finishes. We keep the site clean as we go and keep you updated on progress through the build.
We go over every inch of the deck with you, from the railings to the stair treads, to make sure it matches what you planned. Then we clean up and leave you with care tips for the material you chose.
The builds Kenner homeowners ask for most.
A roof or pergola over all or part of the deck to block the afternoon sun and summer showers. In Kenner, a covered section is often what makes a deck comfortable from June through September, when an open deck is too hot by noon.
Decks with two or more levels, connected by landings and stairs. They separate a grilling area from a seating area and work well in yards where the back door sits well above grade or the lot steps down.
Pressure-treated pine or cedar decks for homeowners who want a natural look and a lower starting cost. We finish them for South Louisiana weather and explain the sealing schedule before we build so there are no surprises later.
Low-maintenance composite boards that resist rot and fading and never need staining. Composite costs more up front but saves time and money on upkeep over the life of the deck, which is why many Kenner clients choose it.
Built-in benches, planters and a prep counter beside the grill. These additions make the deck easier to host on and cut down on the furniture you need to buy, move and store when a storm is coming.
In older parts of Kenner like Rivertown, homes often sit closer together on smaller lots, and a deck has to fit tight setbacks and connect to an older back porch. In newer subdivisions like Chateau Estates, yards tend to be wider, and the question is more often how big to go and whether to add a cover or a second level.
Kenner's clay soil and heavy rain affect how a deck is supported. Ground that stays wet after storms can soften under posts, so footings need to be set and sized properly, and low decks need airflow underneath to keep the frame from staying damp. We also plan board gaps so water drains off the surface quickly instead of soaking into the boards and joists.
Most deck projects in Kenner need a permit, and we take that process off your hands. If the deck is part of a bigger yard upgrade, our crew also builds patios and hardscaping in Kenner and outdoor kitchens that can tie straight into the deck, with one plan for levels, drainage and lighting. That avoids a deck that ends a few inches off from the new patio.

“CMC Services just completed an amazing project covering our entire front of our house including new concrete driveways. The project involved demolition of all existing cement and grass with a new design for two separate driveways instead of the former circular driveway plus the addition of turf and decorative cement squares across the entire front and two new gardens with new pavers. From the moment we received their estimate last fall to the beginning of the project in February, our project manager, Matt was exceptional to work with and maintained communication with us throughout the entire project…”
“Had an issue with a city ordinance that should not exist and CMC made it right by fixing it free of charge! The rest of their work is very clean and exactly how they said it would be! Drainage work was much better and cleaner than expected. Their crew cleans up after themselves and leave no messes behind!”
“We worked with CMC services to install landscaping and lighting at our new Catholic Center. They did an excellent job and worked within our budget.

Most deck projects take one to two weeks once materials and permits are in place. Bigger or multi-level decks, covered sections and built-in features take longer. Heavy rain can pause footing and framing work for a day or two. We give you an expected schedule with your quote.
Price depends on size, height, materials and features. Wood is cheaper up front, while composite costs more but saves on maintenance over time. Covers, multiple levels, railings and built-ins add to the total. We give free estimates with a written breakdown after visiting your property.
Composite costs more to build but is easier to maintain and lasts longer in humid weather, with no sanding or staining. Wood has a natural feel and a lower upfront cost but needs regular sealing. Many Kenner clients pick composite for its long-term value, but we build both and help you weigh the tradeoff.
Yes. We build covered decks with a solid roof or a pergola for partial shade. A cover keeps the afternoon sun and summer showers off, which makes the deck far more comfortable through a Kenner summer. We plan the cover with the deck so the posts and framing are sized for it from the start.
In most cases, yes. Requirements depend on the size, the height and how the deck attaches to the house. We handle the permit process for you, including the application and inspections, so the deck is built to code and documented if you ever sell.
