Danville, Kentucky · Licensed · Insured · Bonded
A deck designed from your yard up: your door heights, your slope, your evenings. Ben shapes the plan around how you’ll live on it, then builds it on framing meant to be stood on for decades.
Custom means the deck is shaped by your property, not by a stock drawing. Every yard in and around Danville asks its own questions: where the door lands, how the ground falls away, where the July sun sits at six in the evening, and where the grill, the table, and the people are going to live.
Ben Scott walks all of that with you before anything gets drawn. Then the design answers it: the footprint, the height, one level or two, where the stairs meet the yard, and how the railing frames the view instead of blocking it. That is the difference between a platform bolted to a house and an outdoor room your family uses every week.
Scott Construction KY LLC builds custom decks across Danville, Boyle County, and the neighboring counties. Licensed, insured, and bonded, with 28 years of trade experience behind every connection, and a one year workmanship warranty in writing on every build.
Door heights, slope, sun, and the way your family gathers. The plan comes from your property, never from a stock drawing.
Footings below frost depth, framing sized for the span, connections built to hold. The part you never see is the part we obsess over.
Boyle County permits, license, insurance, and workers comp, all carried and handled by us. That paper trail protects you the day you sell.
Black steel balusters from Ben’s ironwork background, plus a one year workmanship warranty in writing on every deck.
First the walk: Ben measures the yard, listens to how you want to use the space, and talks materials honestly. You get a straight number and a real build date, not a range that moves.
Then the paperwork: decks require a building permit in Boyle County, and the county only issues permits to contractors who prove they belong on the job, with a county contractor’s license, at least $350,000 in general liability insurance, and workers compensation for the crew. We carry all of it and handle the permit and inspection for you.
Then the build: footings set below frost depth, posts, beams, and joists sized for the span, connections fastened to hold for decades, and only then the decking and railings everyone sees. The structure is the deck. The boards are the finish.
Ben came up through welding and ironwork before general contracting, and it shows on every railing we build. Black steel balusters, set dead straight against warm wood rails: open views, hardware that stays tight, and a finish line that tells you how the whole deck went together.
It has become the Scott Construction signature around Danville. Want the full railing story? See Deck Railings.
Pressure-treated wood gives you the classic deck and the most budget-friendly square footage, and it rewards periodic sealing through Kentucky’s four real seasons. Composite trades a higher upfront cost for decades of low maintenance and color that stays put.
Ben lays out the honest trade-offs and builds whichever answer fits your life, on framing engineered the same either way. For the deeper comparison, see Composite Decks.
Spring hits Central Kentucky and every homeowner remembers the backyard at the same time. The build calendar fills fast from March through summer, so the smart call comes early: homeowners who reach Ben in fall or winter get first pick of the spring schedule.
And a custom deck rarely ends at the last board. Shade structures turn a platform into an outdoor room, and the same crew builds them with the same eye for straight lines. See Pergolas & Patio Covers when you’re ready to think past the railing.
It is designed from your yard, not from a stock plan. Ben starts with the door heights, the slope, the sun, and how your family will actually use the space, then shapes the size, levels, stairs, and railings to fit. No two of our decks are the same because no two yards are.
Yes. Decks require a building permit in Boyle County, and pulling one takes a county contractor’s license, proof of at least $350,000 in general liability insurance, and workers compensation coverage. We carry all of it and manage the permit and inspection as part of every build.
Our signature finish. Ben came up through welding and ironwork before general contracting, and every deck we build carries black steel balusters set dead straight against warm wood rails. They keep the view open and stay tight for the life of the deck.
Both are good answers. Pressure-treated wood is the classic, budget-friendly way to get real square footage, and composite trades a higher upfront cost for decades of low maintenance. Ben lays out the honest trade-offs for your yard and budget, and the framing underneath is built the same either way.
The spring calendar in Central Kentucky fills fast. Homeowners who call in fall or winter get first pick of the spring build slots, and whenever you call, Ben walks the yard and gives you a real date along with a real price.
A straight answer costs nothing to ask for. Send the details or call, either way you talk to Ben.
