Smaller communities like Hudson reward a deck builder who shows up personally and treats every project like it's their own home. We bring 25 years of combined home construction and custom deck building experience to Hudson — and because we're family-owned and operated out of Hickory, you're working with the same person from estimate through final walkthrough.
Hudson is primarily single-family homes in a suburban-rural mix, with some newer builds and mountain-adjacent properties at approachable price points. Deck and porch replacements and additions for family backyard usability are common here, and the city's position offers a real blend of convenience and proximity to both the Foothills and larger Caldwell towns like Lenoir.
Hudson's position between the Catawba River corridor and the Brushy Mountain foothills means moderate humidity with the same freeze-thaw winter exposure that affects deck framing throughout Caldwell County. The Foothills Deck Company has been serving the NC Foothills since 2023, and Hudson is part of our core service map — only 17 miles northwest of our Hickory base, well within our standard territory at no travel surcharge. Hudson sits in Caldwell County, near downtown Hudson and the Caldwell County industrial corridor.
While Hudson is a service area we're actively expanding into, every Hudson project gets the same owner-supervised attention and 25-year combined construction experience that defines our work in Hickory. Whether you're planning a new wood deck, a low-maintenance composite build, a pergola or covered porch, or repair work on an existing deck, we bring the same owner-supervised process to every Hudson project — free on-site estimate, detailed written proposal within 48 hours, and clear communication from sign-off through final walkthrough.
From classic wood decks and modern composite builds to pergolas, covered porches, and lakefront docks — every Hudson project gets the same owner-supervised attention.
Pressure-treated southern yellow pine, cedar, and tropical hardwoods — built to handle North Carolina's humidity and freeze-thaw cycles when properly finished and maintained. The classic deck choice with a natural look that ages gracefully.
Composite decking from Armadillo, Trex, and other premium brands — engineered to resist moisture, fading, and insects without annual sealing or staining. The premier low-maintenance choice for NC Foothills homeowners who'd rather use their deck than refinish it.
Structural deck repairs, board replacements, railing upgrades, and full deck restoration. Whether your existing deck has rot, loose boards, or aging railings, we'll assess what's salvageable and give you straight advice on repair vs. replacement.
Custom pergolas, covered porches, and outdoor structures designed to extend your outdoor living season and add architectural interest to your yard. From simple shade pergolas to fully covered porches with electrical and ceiling fans.
Custom lakefront dock building and repair on Lake Hickory and Lake Rhodhiss — new stationary and floating dock builds, dock re-decking, and shoreline structures designed to handle the long NC boating season and Foothills weather.
The owner personally supervises every Hudson project. You're working with the same person from estimate through final walkthrough — not a different crew each visit.

Hudson's position between the Catawba River corridor and the Brushy Mountain foothills means moderate humidity with the same freeze-thaw winter exposure that affects deck framing throughout Caldwell County. For most Hudson projects we recommend matching the deck materials to the home's existing architecture and the homeowner's maintenance preferences — pressure-treated wood for budget-driven builds with proper sealing, cedar for a middle-ground natural look, and composite (Armadillo or Trex) for low-maintenance long-term value. We walk through the trade-offs during the free estimate.
Most residential deck projects in Hudson are completed in 1 to 2 weeks from the start of construction. After your initial free on-site estimate, you receive a detailed written proposal within 48 hours. Scheduling varies by season — spring and summer book fastest in the Foothills, so Hudson homeowners planning fall or winter builds typically have shorter wait times and may qualify for off-season pricing. We communicate the full timeline before work begins.
