Our Story
In the spring of 1994, two friends came together in Lancaster County and started building decks. They loved working together. They had a passion to serve their customers with integrity. That’s when Stump’s Quality Decks & Porches was born.
The industry has changed a lot since then, and we’ve changed along with it, committing ourselves to being innovative industry leaders. But one thing hasn’t changed here – our dedication to enjoying working together as a team and serving our customers with integrity.
We now build more than 300 decks and porches every year. But we are still a local, family-centered Lancaster County business. Our owners are out on the job every day, making sure that our company values flow through our entire team, from helping our customers design their project, to putting in the last screw.

“I cannot say enough about my experience with Stump’s Decks & Porches. From beginning to end the experience was just AWESOME! The sales rep got my vision immediately, the price was reasonable for the work that was done, the communication was thorough all throughout the process…and the work… absolutely STUNNING!!!”
Sherry Reck
“We hired Stump’s Decks 3 times so far and every time they exceeded our expectations. First they built us a new IPE deck and we were so happy with their work that we hired them again to build a deck cover and later a deck extension.”
Mirela Damian
“I could not be more pleased with the deck that Stump’s designed and constructed for me. What used to be a giant eyesore in my backyard is now a beautiful and comfortable outdoor living space.”
Jill Sproat
We are so pleased with Stump’s – from the beginning process of designing and quoting-thru construction-to the finish, they were stellar.
Very professional, very personable, an amazing staff/crew – highly recommend.

The Stumps team was fantastic from start to finish! I felt I was fully given all my options with the designer; pricing was transparent, honest, and competitive; communication was excellent throughout the whole process; the team on site were professional and friendly; and there were no surprises along the way. Everything was completed on time, on budget, and the quality is excellent! I highly recommend this company
Andrea K.
If I could give Stumps 10 stars on a 5-star scale, I would. From the first design meeting to the final construction details, the entire team, from management to the craftsmen on site, was exceptional. They helped us design and build a unique three-level deck system that is not only beautiful but also incredibly safe, functional, and thoughtfully designed.
What impressed me most was their ability to guide us through every step of the process. They expertly navigated township approvals, permits, contracts, design decisions, and construction challenges, making what could have been a stressful project feel seamless and well-managed.
