NADRA Certified Deck Inspections

Is It Time to Check your Deck?

Over 50% of the 60 million decks in North America are past their useful life or show signs of wear and aging. Whether you are purchasing a new home, preparing to sell, hosting outdoor gatherings, or noticing soft boards and shaky railings, a professional deck evaluation can help identify potential safety issues early with a thorough evaluation performed by NADRA-certified inspectors.

At Carolina Decks, our team includes NADRA-Certified Deck Inspectors (North American Deck and Railing Association). We perform rigorous, step-by-step visual evaluations following strict industry code standards.

What We Evaluate:

  • Ledger Board Attachment & Flashing: Checking the connection between your deck and home for proper fasteners, flashing, and signs of water intrusion or rot.

  • Support Posts, Footings & Beams: Inspecting visible post-to-footing connections, beam placement, and timber condition.

  • Joists & Framing Hardware: Looking underneath for corroded joist hangers, improper nails, and framing wear.

  • Stairs, Railings & Guards: Evaluating handrail firmness, spindle spacing, and stair assembly condition.

On-site evaluations typically take 60 to 90 minutes and are offered at a flat rate of $250. Following the visit, you will receive a detailed inspection report complete with photo documentation covering every component examined by your NADRA-certified inspector.

Luke and his team explained every step of the process, and we were totally pleased with the results. The workmanship was first rate, and the crew was respectful of our home and our property. Hermelindo is an artist when it comes to deck construction--every detail was done expertly, from the substructure to the railing alignment. We had tired of constant maintenance on our old wood deck, and the composite TimberTech deck not only looks great, but we know that we will get years of enjoyment out of it! I couldn't recommend Carolina Decks more highly.

Extremely happy that we used Carolina Decks to build our sunroom. Luke was great to work with during the design. Li and his team were amazing to work with during construction. They did excellent work and were great at communicating the timing and steps of construction. We are so happy with our sunroom and looking forward to spending lots of time in there with our family! Highly recommend Carolina Decks!

We needed to rebuild an upper-level deck due to structural issues caused by age (20 years) and poor design, and Carolina Decks was professional and easy to work with from start to finish. Great design up front, and quality workmanship throughout. Project completed on time and on budget. We highly recommend them.

My husband & I had our deck replaced by Carolina Decks. We had a great experience from the first design meeting with Luke Chapman, the guys building the deck (very professional and polite) and working with the Project Manager, Li Zhou. I would highly recommend them for a new deck project.

Carolina Decks delivered as promised and more efficiently than we thought any vendor could. We are very satisfied with the quality of the work and how quickly our screened in porch was completed. The team was very responsive to questions and communication was excellent.

We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Carolina Decks on our custom composite deck and gable-style roof project. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, organized, and stress-free. Tammy in finance was incredibly helpful and responsive, making everything easy and clear. Li, our project manager, was exceptional—professional, communicative, and on top of every detail. And Luke, the owner, was phenomenal to work with—hands-on, knowledgeable, and truly committed to quality. The craftsmanship is top-notch and the final result exceeded our expectations. The quality of work and attention to detail really show. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Carolina Decks to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-built deck and roof system.

Had a great experience from start to finish with Carolina Decks. Li and Gio were the leads on my project and crushed it. They were in constant contact with me and the project, which was very refreshing. Definitely consider using Carolina Decks.
