Meet the Team Building Your Deck

I’m Alex, and I run Fiferum Construction with a crew that shows up when we say we will. We’ve been building decks around Carrboro for nearly two decades because we don’t overcomplicate things, and we actually finish what we start.

Google Guaranteed us because we’ve earned it. We build decks that laugh at North Carolina weather and turn your backyard into a space you’ll actually use. Simple as that.

Started Fiferum in 2015 because good craftsmanship shouldn’t come with a headache. Whether it’s a deck or a screened porch, my job is making sure every project feels easy, personal, and done right from day one.

Rated 5 out of 5

From the first contact, they were incredibly responsive and professional. They showed up when they said that they would and also kept me updated on the work, the timeline and every step along the way. We’ve worked with several builders and contractors over the years and this was by far the best experience.

What We Build for Carrboro Families

We’ve built decks across Carrboro, from quiet streets near downtown to backyards tucked into McDougle neighborhoods. When old decks give out, we replace them with something solid that holds up through humid summers and surprise freezes.

Every deck is built to last and backed by a 5-year workmanship guarantee.

We Use Materials That Last

Fiferum works with brands that have proven themselves in North Carolina weather. Trex for composite that won’t rot, cable systems that actually look good, and aluminum railings that hold up. We’ve built enough decks to know what lasts and what needs replacing in five years.

Excellent job restraining my deck and installing new screens.

They were timely and kept a clean job site.

They communicated clearly on when they would start and the job was completed efficiently.

Would highly recommend

We had Alex and his team replace our deck flooring and railings in the fall of 2021.

Despite delays in obtaining the materials (our fault for choosing manufactured wood in a specific color!) they were careful to keep us updated on the delivery of the materials and modified their calendar to schedule our installation as soon as the materials were available.

The entire project was finished in just a few days.

Fiferum does quality work that they guarantee, and they communicate at every step of the process. We previously had them paint the cedar siding on our house.

When we noted a few months later a few areas where the paint appeared to be cracking, they returned promptly to identify and fix the issue.

We hired them again to stain our deck and address water damage on some soffit and facia boards. They did great work, and we’d hire them again in a heartbeat.

Questions People Actually Ask Us

Repairs usually wrap up the same day unless half your deck needs replacing.

Full replacements take about 3 days of actual work. You’ll have a brand new deck before the weekend.

New builds run 4 to 6 days once we’re on site. Add a few weeks for permits and planning, so figure about a month total. We finish when we say we will.

Ground level, elevated, two stories, composite, wood, cable rails, traditional spindles, built-in benches, lighting, whatever you’re picturing. Tell us what you want and we’ll make it happen.
Pressure-treated replacement runs $6,000 to $15,000 depending on size. Composite puts you between $12,000 and $20,000.

Almost always yes for new builds, sometimes for repairs depending on what needs fixing and what Carrboro or Orange County requires.

You don’t touch the paperwork. We handle permits, applications, inspections, all of it. You just sign where we tell you to sign.

A 100 square foot deck starts around $15k for basic pressure-treated wood. Go with Trex composite, add aluminum railings, throw in drink rails and fancy lighting, you’re looking at $75k or more.

We’ll work with whatever budget you’ve got and tell you exactly what that money gets you. Call us for a real number based on what you actually want.

Most repairs cost $300 to $500. Quick, affordable, gets you a few more good years out of what you’ve already got.
