Skyler Hollar

Owner & Lead Custom Deck Builder

Hickory, NC · Catawba County

When Skyler Hollar founded Deck Unique, he had one simple goal in mind: build the kind of decks homeowners actually want — the kind that last decades, look beautiful from day one, and get built without surprises, hidden fees, or rotating crews of strangers.

For Skyler, building decks isn't just a business — it's a craft. Every project starts with a real conversation about how your family lives, how you want to use the space, and what fits your budget. He personally walks every yard, takes every measurement, and is on the jobsite supervising every cut. That's a difference customers feel — and it's why Deck Unique consistently earns 5-star reviews mentioning communication, attention to detail, and care for the customer.

Born and raised in the region, Skyler knows Hickory and the surrounding Catawba County area inside and out. He understands North Carolina's climate — the humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, summer storms — and how it affects long-term deck performance. He builds decks that hold up to all of it, using materials and techniques chosen specifically for this region's conditions.

Our Principles

What We Stand For
On Every Build

These aren't marketing slogans. They're the operating principles behind every Deck Unique project, top to bottom.

Owner Accountability

When the owner is on every job, accountability isn't delegated — it's personal. Skyler's name is on every deck Deck Unique builds. That's the standard, every time.

Honest Communication

No high-pressure sales. No vague promises. We answer questions straight, give realistic timelines, and tell you what will and won't work — even when it's not what you wanted to hear.

Quality Materials

We use premium pressure-treated lumber, cedar, hardwoods, and the leading composite brands. Cheap materials don't last in NC's climate, and we won't put our name on something we wouldn't put in our own home.

Detailed Craftsmanship

Tight joints. Square corners. Clean railings. Even spacing. The hundred small details that separate a deck that looks great in photos from one that feels right under your feet for 30 years.

Respect For Your Home

Clean job sites. Daily cleanup. Protected landscaping. We treat your home the way we'd want our own treated — and we leave it better than we found it.

Local Roots

We live here. We work here. We see our customers around town. That means our reputation is on the line every single day — and we intend to keep it strong.

What We Build

Custom Deck Construction
Done Right

Deck Unique is a custom builder — meaning we don't sell pre-fab kits or one-size-fits-all designs. Every project is designed for your specific yard, your specific home, and your specific way of using outdoor space.
