Lakeside Decks

About (editorial)

Lakeside Decks pitches itself in the luxury end of the Rochester deck market, with most of its public work in Hilton and other lakeshore towns on Lake Ontario. The company specializes in advanced PVC and mineral-based composite decking systems — TimberTech, Trex, and AZEK are the named manufacturer partners — chosen specifically for dimensional stability through Rochester's freeze-thaw cycles and the lake-effect humidity that punishes shortcut framing. The technical pitch is distinctive in a market dominated by general-contractor decks: heat-folded corners (a technique that uses heated PVC bent to a curve in place of a mitered seam, eliminating the open miters that fail first on most aging decks), reinforced critical joints, controlled board movement, and integrated low-voltage stair-riser and post lighting. The portfolio leans toward pool decks with slip-resistant surfaces, resurfacing on existing sound framing, and homeowners who want the outdoor space to be usable into the evening rather than just admired from indoors. For homeowners willing to pay for craft and detail rather than the lowest bid, Lakeside is the most overtly premium-positioned of the Rochester deck specialists — and the only one in this directory making the heat-folded-corner pitch publicly.
