Iredell County Experience
Custom Deck Builders
Serving Love Valley, NC
Deck Unique is the owner-operated custom deck building company that Love Valley homeowners turn to when they want craftsmanship, communication, and accountability all in one builder. Based out of Hickory NC and operating roughly 28 miles northeast of Love Valley, we're a real-deal local builder — not a franchise, not a sales operation, not a crew of strangers.
Smaller communities like Love Valley 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.
Love Valley is a unique Iredell County town known for its Western theme and equestrian community. Properties here range across the spectrum — from compact backyards in established neighborhoods to wider lots near Love Valley historic Western town district. 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. Love Valley properties often have larger acreage and equestrian use, calling for decks that complement the rustic-Western aesthetic, and we factor all of that into the design before a single board gets ordered.
Slightly cooler than the Hickory metro with strong four-season variation, 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 Love Valley's actual conditions, not whatever happens to be cheapest on the truck that week.
