Crafting decks and docks might seem straightforward, but at Summertime Deck & Dock, we believe every project deserves a unique touch. For us, it’s not just about lumber and nails—it’s about turning outdoor spaces into something truly remarkable. Whether you’re dreaming of a rooftop retreat, a curved masterpiece, or the perfect dockside escape, we’re here to make it happen with a handshake and a smile.
From Aerospace to Deck and Dock Space:
Our Unusual Beginning
Back in 2008, Robin and Michelle Lopez traded spreadsheets and propulsion schematics for sawdust and sunshine. Robin, a former Lockheed Martin engineer with an aerospace degree (and a knack for inventing), saw a chance to combine his problem-solving skills with a passion for creative design. That spark led to Summertime Deck & Dock, a family-run company with a reputation for blending innovative ideas with practical craftsmanship.
With nearly 1,000 projects under our belt, we specialize in transforming outdoor spaces into extraordinary works of art. Whether it’s a gracefully curved deck designed for entertaining or a dock that becomes the centerpiece of your waterfront, we thrive on making big ideas a reality. Every project is infused with our unique blend of creativity, engineering precision, and a dedication to craftsmanship. And through it all, we hold fast to what matters most: Delivering exceptional results with integrity, warmth, and a personal touch.
Why Ordinary Just Doesn’t Cut It
We’re serious about creating outdoor spaces that are as functional as they are breathtaking—but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. At Summertime Deck & Dock, humor, teamwork, and a love for a good challenge drive everything we do.
Not all deck builders are created equal, and we’ve got the chops to prove it. Here’s why we stand out from the crowd.
