Serving Crestview, FL and surrounding areas. (448) 236-1042
Complete Crestview Fence & Deck is a locally owned deck builder serving Fort Walton Beach, FL with pool deck construction, composite decking, screened porches, and fencing. We know waterfront properties and the salt-air conditions that wear on outdoor structures here, and we have been serving the Fort Walton Beach area since 2017. We reply within one business day.
Fort Walton Beach homeowners with backyard pools deal with constant sun exposure, humidity, and salt-tinged air that wears through inferior deck materials in just a few seasons. Our pool deck construction uses materials chosen specifically for Florida coastal conditions, so your deck stays stable and looks right for years rather than checking out after the first hot summer.
Homes near Choctawhatchee Bay and Santa Rosa Sound see more moisture and salt air than inland properties, and composite decking handles that environment far better than untreated wood. It does not absorb water, will not warp or splinter, and does not need the annual sealing that wood decks require to survive a Florida summer.
Fort Walton Beach gets no-see-ums, mosquitoes, and biting gnats from the bayou and water areas, especially in the evenings from spring through fall. A screened enclosure around your porch or deck turns those hours from an annoyance into the most pleasant part of the day.
Wood decks in Fort Walton Beach absorb moisture faster than in drier climates, and the UV load from the Gulf Coast sun bleaches and cracks untreated surfaces quickly. A proper stain-and-seal treatment done on schedule extends the life of a wood deck significantly in this environment.
Fort Walton Beach gets heavy afternoon sun and sudden rainstorms from June through September, and a covered structure means you are not at the mercy of the weather every time you step outside. A solid patio cover also protects furniture and the deck surface itself from UV damage between uses.
Coastal humidity and salt air accelerate rust on metal fencing and cause wood fences to rot faster than in drier climates. Vinyl fencing holds up well in Fort Walton Beach's conditions without painting, staining, or replacing rusted hardware - a practical choice for waterfront and near-water properties.
Fort Walton Beach is surrounded by water on multiple sides - Choctawhatchee Bay to the north, Santa Rosa Sound to the south, and several bayous cutting through the city itself. That proximity to salt water means outdoor materials face constant exposure to moisture and salt-laden air, which accelerates the deterioration of untreated wood, corrodes metal fasteners, and causes paint and sealant to fail faster than they would just a few miles inland. A deck builder who only works in drier markets does not automatically know how to spec materials and set post depths for properties this close to the water.
The city also carries a heavy military presence because of Eglin Air Force Base just to the north. A large share of Fort Walton Beach homeowners are active-duty military families who move on a fixed timeline and need reliable contractors who respond quickly and stick to schedules. Many of the homes here were built between the 1950s and 1980s - concrete block ranch-style houses that are now 40 to 70 years old. These homes need work done by contractors familiar with CBS construction, not contractors who have only worked on newer wood-frame builds. The area has also been affected by major storms, including Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and Hurricane Michael in 2018, and some older structures still show deferred storm maintenance that a thorough contractor will flag during an estimate.
Our crew works throughout Fort Walton Beach regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect deck builder work here. The housing stock in this city varies considerably by neighborhood - the blocks near downtown and close to the Indian Temple Mound have older concrete block homes built in the 1950s and 1960s, while the areas farther from the water and toward the Eglin boundary have more ranch-style homes from the 1970s and 1980s. We work on both, and we know the difference matters when it comes to footings, fasteners, and the approach to moisture management around the structure.
Fort Walton Beach sits along U.S. 98 and connects directly to Okaloosa Island and the Miracle Strip corridor heading east toward Destin. Locals know that the neighborhoods along Brooks Street and Beal Parkway have different property types and lot sizes than the older streets closer to the bay. Many of our Fort Walton Beach customers are also waterfront homeowners along the bayous and canals that feed into Choctawhatchee Bay, where tidal moisture exposure is a daily reality. For homeowners in the adjacent community of Mary Esther, we serve those properties as well - it is a tight stretch of waterfront development just west of Fort Walton Beach with many similar conditions.
If you are east of Fort Walton Beach heading toward Destin, we work there too. Destin homeowners deal with similar coastal material challenges - waterfront lots, intense Gulf sun, and a building permit process that runs through Okaloosa County for properties inside the county line.
Reach out by phone or through our online form and you will hear back within one business day. We ask a few questions about your property and project scope so we arrive at the estimate ready to give you real answers.
We visit the property, assess the site conditions - including proximity to water, drainage, and any existing structure - and give you a written estimate with material options and pricing before we ask you to commit to anything.
We handle the Okaloosa County permit application, which typically takes two to four weeks to approve. Once it is in hand, we schedule construction and keep you updated on the timeline throughout the build.
Construction typically takes one to three weeks. After the county inspection is passed, we do a final walk-through with you so you know exactly what was built and how to care for it in the coastal Fort Walton Beach environment.

(448) 236-1042Fort Walton Beach is a small Gulf Coast city of around 22,000 residents in Okaloosa County, situated between Choctawhatchee Bay to the north and Santa Rosa Sound to the south. The city grew rapidly in the post-World War II era as Eglin Air Force Base expanded, and much of the residential housing stock reflects that era - modest concrete block ranch homes and single-story builds from the 1950s through the 1970s. There are also older neighborhoods with homes dating to the early 20th century, and the waterfront has seen newer construction fill in infill lots and replace aging structures over the past two decades. Downtown Fort Walton Beach is anchored by the Indian Temple Mound Museum, one of the most recognized historic sites in the Florida Panhandle, sitting on a large Native American ceremonial mound right in the center of the city.
The city has a year-round residential character that is distinct from the vacation-rental focus of nearby beach communities. Locals identify with Fort Walton Beach as a working waterfront town where people have lived for generations, not just a place to visit. The area includes Okaloosa Island to the south, a barrier strip with public beach access and a popular boardwalk that draws locals throughout the year. Fort Walton Beach neighbors Niceville to the north and east, and the two cities share the same commuter corridors along Highway 85 and College Boulevard that connect the broader Okaloosa County community to the base and to jobs along the Destin corridor.
