Homeowners in Sherrills Ford have plenty of contractor choices, but most of them are crews that bounce between cities and never see the same project twice. We're different. The Foothills Deck Company is owner-supervised on every Sherrills Ford job, with 25 years of combined home construction and deck building experience behind every estimate, every cut, and every fastener.
Sherrills Ford is overwhelmingly lakefront — modern estates, custom builds, and luxury homes with premium Lake Norman views. Deck and dock work dominates: new builds, expansive lakeside decks, and pergola-style additions are very common, and the upscale character of the community means homeowners typically invest in higher-end materials and detailing.
Sherrills Ford is dominated by Lake Norman waterfront, which means high lakefront humidity, sun exposure on south-facing deck surfaces, and heavy use during the long boating season — all factors that favor premium composite decking and marine-grade dock materials.

Sherrills Ford sits in Catawba County, near the Lake Norman shoreline and the Sherrills Ford peninsula.

From classic wood decks and modern composite builds to pergolas, covered porches, and lakefront docks — every Sherrills Ford project gets the same owner-supervised attention.
