The Crew Behind the Build
I’m Alex. I started Fiferum Construction because I got tired of watching homeowners get jerked around by contractors who disappear after the deposit clears.
We’ve been at this for nearly two decades, and the way we work hasn’t changed: show up on time, build it right, and leave the yard cleaner than we found it. Google Guaranteed us because our track record backs it up. The homeowners we’ve worked with in Chatham County back it up too.
If you want a deck that holds up in North Carolina heat and humidity without becoming a part-time maintenance job, that’s exactly what we build.
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 Hillsborough Homeowners
We’ve built decks on wooded lots near the Eno River, in historic neighborhoods, and on properties where the old structure finally gave out after years of use.
You need something that works with your land and lasts through every season. That’s what we build, and we back it with a 5-year guarantee so you don’t have to think about it again.

A Builder You Can Trust
We Use Materials That Last
We work with materials proven to handle North Carolina weather. Composite options like Trex reduce maintenance, while pressure-treated wood keeps costs lower upfront.
We’ll walk you through what actually makes sense for your budget and how much upkeep you want long-term.

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
Most decks take between one and three weeks once construction begins. Smaller, simpler builds can wrap up in a week, while larger multi-level or composite projects with screened sections take longer. Before that, permitting and design can add a few weeks. We’ll give you a clear timeline during the estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
Composite decking from brands like Trex, TimberTech, and Azek handles our humidity, UV, and rain cycles with minimal maintenance. Pressure-treated pine remains the budget-friendly choice and, with proper care, performs well for many years. Cedar lands in between. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs so you can pick what fits your home, your budget, and how much upkeep you want.
Yes, most deck projects in Hillsborough and Orange County require a building permit, and depending on the height and attachment to the home, inspections are part of the process. We handle the permitting and inspections as part of our service, so you don’t have to deal with the paperwork or scheduling on your end.
Absolutely. Sloped lots are common throughout Hillsborough, especially around the Eno River and wooded neighborhoods. We use engineered footings, multi-level framing, and elevated structures to work with the grade rather than fight it. During your on-site consultation we’ll evaluate the lot conditions and design a deck that sits beautifully on your specific terrain.
We leave no stone unturned, especially when it comes to backing up our service. We’ve went the extra mile and even got Google to recognize our business. For you, this means working with a fully verified business – a real professional that puts his reputation at stake. For us, it means we’re fully committed to delivering the highest-quality craftsmanship you can possibly get.
