Catawba County Experience
Custom Deck Builders
Serving Brookford, NC
Deck Unique is the owner-operated custom deck building company that Brookford homeowners turn to when they want craftsmanship, communication, and accountability all in one builder. Based out of Hickory NC and operating roughly 3 miles south of Brookford, we're a real-deal local builder — not a franchise, not a sales operation, not a crew of strangers.
Smaller communities like Brookford reward a builder who shows up personally, listens carefully, and stands by the work afterward — exactly the way Skyler Hollar runs every Deck Unique project.
Brookford is a small Catawba County town just south of Hickory's city limits. Properties here range across the spectrum — from compact backyards in established neighborhoods to wider lots near former Brookford Mill village. Each project starts with a free in-home consultation where Skyler walks the yard with you, measures the space, talks through what you actually want from the build, and gives you the honest read on materials, costs, and trade-offs. Brookford's older mill-village homes often need careful integration of new decks with existing footprints, and we factor all of that into the design before a single board gets ordered.
Same climate zone as Hickory — humid summers and mild winters, and we build accordingly. The pressure-treated lumber we install is rated for ground contact and exterior exposure. The composite decks we choose come from manufacturers with proven track records in our specific climate zone. Every fastener, every joist hanger, every bit of flashing — chosen for Brookford's actual conditions, not whatever happens to be cheapest on the truck that week.
