Custom Outdoor Living Built for the Great Lakes Climate
A deck or porch is more than an addition—it’s an extension of your home’s living space. At DT Hostetler’s Construction, we design and build outdoor structures that combine aesthetic beauty with the structural integrity needed to survive the fluctuating weather of Erie, Chautauqua, and Warren Counties. As an Amish-owned father-and-son team, we take a hands-on approach to every project, ensuring your new deck is as sturdy as it is inviting.
Our Custom Outdoor Solutions
- Premium Composite Decking: Utilizing high-performance, low-maintenance materials like Trex or Azek for a beautiful finish that never needs staining.
- Traditional Pressure-Treated Wood: Expertly framed and finished wooden decks for a classic look and natural feel.
- Custom Covered Porches: From open-air pavilions to integrated front porches that add massive curb appeal and weather protection.
- Structural Rebuilds & Resurfacing: If your frame is solid but your boards are tired, we can revitalize your space with modern materials.
- Railings & Trim Details: Precision-installed vinyl, aluminum, or wood railing systems for safety and style.
Is your backyard ready for an upgrade?
While many contractors use “cookie-cutter” kits, Dave and Tim Hostetler treat every deck as a custom piece of furniture. Whether it’s a tiered entertainment space in Millcreek or a wrap-around porch for a farmhouse in Clymer, we build to the Hostetler Standard.
The Advantages of a Hostetler Build
- Engineered for Stability: We go above and beyond local building codes for post-depth and joist spacing to ensure zero “bounce” or sagging.
- Superior Hardware: We use heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant fasteners designed for the moisture levels of the Great Lakes region.
- Seamless Integration: Our porches are designed to look like they were built with the house, matching your existing rooflines and siding perfectly.
- Direct Accountability: We don’t use subcontractors. Dave and Tim oversee every layout and leveling detail personally.
PREMIUM CRAFTSMANSHIP. CUSTOM DESIGNS. 5-YEAR WORKMANSHIP WARRANTY.
We don’t believe in “cookie-cutter” outdoor spaces. Every structure is designed specifically for your home and lifestyle:
- Custom Footing Depth: We dig deeper to ensure your deck stays level through the freeze-thaw cycles of PA and NY winters.
- Hidden Fastener Systems: Available for composite builds to provide a clean, screw-free surface that’s safe for bare feet.
- Maintenance-Free Options: We specialize in modern vinyl and composite systems that look like wood but require zero staining or painting.
- Site Cleanliness: We manage our workspace meticulously, ensuring your lawn stays as beautiful as your new deck.
