Helical piles provide a cleaner, faster, and more precise alternative to concrete footings—perfect for tie-ins to existing homes where space, soil, or access can be challenging.

Permanent Stability for Decks & Patios

Uneven settling, frost heaving, and soil movement are common issues with traditional concrete footings. Helical piles solve all of these problems—providing a fast, clean, and reliable foundation that stays level through every season.
Our residential-grade screw piles are ideal for wood decks, composite decks, pergolas, patios, gazebos, hot tub pads, and outdoor living structures. Each installation is engineered to handle local soil conditions and the load demands of your design, ensuring long-term structural stability.

Our Process

How the Helical Pile Deck Installation Process Works

We’ve perfected a fast, quiet, and clean installation process—so your deck or patio project can move ahead without the noise, disruption, or delays of concrete footings.
[01]
Site Assessment & Planning
Our team reviews your deck or patio plans, soil conditions, and load requirements to determine the proper pile size, spacing, and depth.
[03]
Screw Pile Installation
Using compact hydraulic drive heads, we screw each pile into the ground until it reaches engineered torque resistance—confirming its ability to safely support your deck or patio.
[05]
Bracket Installation
Adjustable galvanized brackets are attached to connect your piles directly to the deck framing or beams, forming a level, permanent base.
[02]
Precise Layout & Marking
Each pile location is marked to align perfectly with your structural design and avoid any buried utilities or obstacles.
[04]
Load Testing & Verification
We perform on-site load testing to verify every pile’s capacity, ensuring your foundation is rock solid before any framing begins.
[06]
Final Inspection & Cleanup
Before leaving, we verify alignment and torque readings, ensuring every pile meets engineering standards. The area is left neat, clean, and construction-ready.
