Deck Building in Washington Park, FL
Washington Park lies about 5 miles inland in Broward County, an unincorporated community about 3.3 miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale. Its housing stock follows the same pre-war and mid-century pattern as neighboring Fort Lauderdale. That mix shapes how we approach deck building here — below is what actually matters for decks on a Washington Park property.
Why Washington Park homeowners choose us

Insured and family-owned since 2004, we provide free estimates on every project.
What decks in Washington Park actually involves
Local conditions change the job. Here's what's specific to Washington Park, Broward County.
Broward HVHZ requirements
Washington Park is in Broward County's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so an attached deck or a roofed structure over it is engineered and inspected to HVHZ uplift detail. We build to that standard rather than discovering it at inspection.
Salt-air exposure in Washington Park
About 5 miles inland, Washington Park decks see moderate salt plus heavy summer rain. Hot-dip galvanized hardware and an annual reseal keep them sound.
Permits and inspections
Washington Park is unincorporated, so deck permits and inspections go through Broward County rather than a municipal building department.
Where Washington Park sits
Washington Park is an unincorporated pocket of Broward County about 3.3 miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale, bordered by Lauderdale Lakes, Lauderhill and Wilton Manors. Because it has no city hall of its own, decks here is permitted and inspected by the county — and we already run the same crews through the surrounding municipalities, so scheduling doesn't change.
HOA and community rules
Some Washington Park communities require approval for a new deck, particularly for anything visible from the street or a neighboring lot.
