Statesville Deck & Fence serves Concord homeowners with pool decks, custom deck construction, composite and wood deck installations, and vinyl and wood fence work across Cabarrus County. Since 2020 we have been working throughout this part of the Charlotte metro, including the older neighborhoods near historic downtown Concord and the newer subdivisions along Poplar Tent Road and I-85 - and we know the clay soil, the permit process, and the local building stock that comes with each.

Concord summers are hot enough that an in-ground pool gets heavy use from May through September, and the surface around it matters for safety as much as appearance. A purpose-built pool deck uses slip-resistant materials with proper drainage built into the design - which a flat concrete pour around the pool does not provide. If your pool area needs a real deck, not just a patio, see our pool deck construction service.
Concord has an unusually wide range of lot sizes and home styles - from the compact lots near historic downtown Union Street to the larger suburban lots in planned subdivisions off Poplar Tent Road and Weddington Road. A custom deck plan is designed around your specific yard, access points, and how you intend to use the space, rather than forcing a standard deck footprint onto a lot it does not fit.
Concord's heat and humidity take a visible toll on untreated wood decks - boards gray out, cup, and develop surface mold within a few seasons if they are not sealed regularly. Composite decking does not absorb moisture, does not need staining, and comes with long manufacturer warranties that pressure-treated lumber cannot match. For many Concord homeowners, the reduced maintenance alone justifies the higher upfront cost.
A large portion of Concord homes were built between 1980 and 2010, and decks from that era are now hitting the end of their service life. Soft boards, cracked ledger connections, and footings that have shifted with the clay soil underneath are common issues we see in Cabarrus County homes from this period. We assess what can be repaired and what needs full replacement before giving you a recommendation.
Concord's growing townhome communities and newer subdivisions are closely spaced, and homeowners in these neighborhoods frequently want a fence that provides real privacy rather than a decorative boundary. A wood privacy fence built to proper height gives you a functional barrier that blocks sightlines and reduces noise from neighboring lots - something many Concord homeowners decide on within a few years of moving in.
Concord's proximity to Rocky River and other natural areas means mosquito pressure is real in warm months, and the hot summer afternoons make a shaded, screened space far more usable than an open deck. A screened porch or deck lets you stay outside through the evening without fighting insects or sitting in direct sun - a meaningful upgrade for homes in this part of Cabarrus County.
Concord has grown fast over the past two decades, and that growth has created a housing stock that ranges from early 1900s brick homes near historic downtown to brand-new construction in outer subdivisions - and everything in between. Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s, which make up a large share of the Concord market, are now at the age where roofing, exterior materials, and deck structures are coming due for serious attention. The older homes closer to Union Street and downtown bring their own challenges - original brick, aging foundations, and limited lot access that newer homes simply do not have.
The red clay soil throughout Cabarrus County is one of the most consistent variables a deck contractor deals with in Concord. Clay-heavy Piedmont soil swells when wet and contracts in dry periods, and that movement slowly works on any footing or post that was not sized and set properly from the beginning. Concord also receives heavy rain from late-season tropical systems that move inland from the coast - and that drainage pressure accelerates problems on properties that are not graded correctly around the deck footprint. Contractors who work in this area consistently know these conditions and build for them from the start.
Our crew works throughout Concord regularly, and we pull permits through the City of Concord Planning and Neighborhood Development Department for in-city projects and through Cabarrus County Inspections for properties outside city limits. We know how the permit process runs here, what the inspection stages look like, and what the inspectors expect on framing day - which means we do not have delays from incomplete submittals or missed inspection windows.
Concord is a city that most people outside of North Carolina recognize because of Charlotte Motor Speedway, which sits just outside the city limits. But for the homeowners we work with, the landmarks that matter more are the neighborhoods - the older brick streets near downtown, the established subdivisions that grew up along I-85 in the 1990s, and the newer communities going in along Poplar Tent Road and Weddington Road that are still being built out today. We have worked on homes in all of these areas and understand what each type of property typically needs from a deck or fence contractor.
We serve Concord homeowners along with our neighbors in Kannapolis to the north and Salisbury to the south. If you are in Concord or anywhere in Cabarrus County, reach out and we will respond within one business day.
Call or submit the contact form and we will get back to you within one business day. We schedule on-site visits throughout Concord and Cabarrus County at no charge, and we do not require you to be committed to the project before we show up.
We walk the site, review the soil conditions and grade, measure the space, and discuss your priorities before pricing anything. You receive a written, itemized estimate - not a range - so you know exactly what is included and what it will cost before you decide.
We handle the permit application through the City of Concord or Cabarrus County before any construction begins. Permit approval typically takes one to three weeks, after which active construction runs one to two weeks for a standard deck. You do not need to be present during work, but we keep you updated throughout.
After construction wraps, we schedule the required final inspection with the permitting authority and do a walkthrough with you before closing out the project. If anything needs attention after inspection, we handle it before we leave.
We serve Concord and Cabarrus County homeowners with no-pressure on-site estimates. Call us or fill out the contact form and we will respond within one business day.
(980) 759-0506Concord is the county seat of Cabarrus County and the second-largest city in the Charlotte metro area, with a population that has grown past 105,000 people over the past two decades. The city is best known nationally for Charlotte Motor Speedway, one of the most prominent NASCAR tracks in the country, which sits just outside the city limits. Downtown Concord has a preserved historic district centered on Union Street, with early 1900s storefronts and homes that reflect the city's original character as a textile and manufacturing hub. Concord Mills, one of the largest retail and outlet centers in North Carolina, sits along I-85 and serves as a major commercial anchor for the city.
The housing stock reflects Concord's growth pattern - older brick and wood-frame homes close to downtown, mid-century single-family homes in the established neighborhoods that filled in after World War II, and newer planned subdivisions spreading outward along Poplar Tent Road, Weddington Road, and the I-85 corridor. About 65 percent of housing units in Concord are owner-occupied, which means the majority of residents have a real financial stake in maintaining their homes. We serve homeowners throughout the city, from the older streets near downtown to the newer communities being built today, and also work in neighboring Kannapolis and Salisbury.
