Serving Ocala, FL and surrounding areas. (352) 657-1606
Precision Ocala Deck & Fence serves Silver Springs Shores with composite deck installation, pool decks, screened porches, and fence work throughout the community. We pull permits through the Marion County Building Department and understand the sandy-soil and humidity conditions that affect every build in the Shores.
Most homes in Silver Springs Shores were built between the 1970s and 1990s, and many original wood decks on those properties are at or past their useful life. A new composite deck resists the moisture, mold, and UV exposure that break down wood fast in central Florida - making it the right choice for Shores homeowners who want a deck that lasts without constant maintenance.
Pools are a common feature on Silver Springs Shores properties, and the deck surface around them takes heavy wear from water, sun, and bare feet year-round. We build pool decks with slip-resistant, moisture-rated materials and proper drainage so water channels away from the frame instead of sitting against it.
Silver Springs Shores backs up against the natural corridor near Silver Springs State Park, and mosquito pressure from May through October is significant. A screened porch converts an exposed backyard into a usable space where you can sit outside without the bugs or the afternoon rain shutting you in.
Given the age of most homes in the Shores, repair calls are common here. We assess the full structure first - not just the visible surface - because in Florida's climate, rot and termite damage often extend further than what you can see. A thorough inspection tells you whether a repair is worth it or whether replacement is the smarter move.
Silver Springs Shores lots are typically modest in size, and a well-placed vinyl fence clearly defines the property line without requiring the ongoing painting and sealing that wood fences demand in Florida's sun. Vinyl holds its color and shape through years of UV exposure and Florida humidity.
For Shores homeowners with pressure-treated wood decks that are structurally sound but showing surface wear, a proper stain and seal application extends the deck life significantly. Florida's wet season saturates exposed wood every summer - sealing before the rainy season starts is the most cost-effective way to slow that damage.
Silver Springs Shores is one of the largest unincorporated communities in Florida, governed by Marion County rather than a city, and most of its homes were built in the decades between the 1970s and 1990s. At 30 to 55 years old, many of those structures are reaching the point where original decks, wood trim, and exterior surfaces are failing. Florida's wet season compounds the issue - Marion County averages over 50 inches of rain a year, and the summer humidity keeps exposed wood damp for weeks at a stretch. A deck builder who works here regularly understands that the build needs to account for that sustained moisture load from the start, not after the damage appears.
The sandy soil under most Silver Springs Shores lots adds another layer of complexity. Central Florida's soil drains quickly in dry weather but shifts and settles after heavy rain, and that movement can work against deck footings that are not properly sized or set deep enough. Concrete block construction is the norm on homes in the Shores, which also affects how an attached deck connects to the house structure. A contractor familiar with these conditions builds the right footing spec and the right ledger attachment the first time, rather than going back to fix settling or separation problems a few years down the road.
Our crew works throughout Silver Springs Shores regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect deck builder work here. Because the community is unincorporated, all permits run through the Marion County Building Department rather than a city office - a process our team handles regularly and knows well.
Silver Springs Shores is a community most Marion County residents know by its central artery, SE 36th Avenue (Maricamp Road), which runs through the heart of the neighborhood lined with grocery stores, restaurants, and everyday services. The community stretches east from SE 36th Avenue toward the natural area near Silver Springs State Park, and many properties back up to wooded areas that see even more moisture and shade than properties closer to the road. We serve homes throughout the Shores, from the busier streets near the commercial corridor to the quieter blocks further east.
We also regularly serve homeowners in Silver Springs just to the north, which has its own property types and characteristics, and throughout the broader Ocala area to the west.
Reach out by phone or through our online form. We reply within one business day - usually the same day for calls - and we can typically schedule an on-site visit within a few days of your first contact.
We come to your Silver Springs Shores property, look at the site, and take measurements. We discuss your goals and your budget openly - no pressure to add features you do not want. Your written estimate will be itemized and include the Marion County permit fee.
We submit the permit application to the Marion County Building Department and schedule the work. Construction typically runs one to two weeks. The county conducts a structural inspection during framing before the decking goes down.
After construction is complete, we do a final walkthrough with you. We confirm the county's final inspection is cleared and walk through care and maintenance specific to the materials used on your deck.

Silver Springs Shores is an unincorporated planned community in Marion County, Florida, with a population of around 30,000 - making it one of the most populated unincorporated communities in the state. Developed primarily between the 1960s and 1990s as an affordable suburban alternative to Ocala, the community is almost entirely single-family residential, with modest homes on small to medium lots arranged along a grid of numbered streets. The Shores community has a strong owner-occupancy rate and a character defined by long-term residents who have invested in their homes over decades.
The community takes its name from Silver Springs State Park a few miles to the north, one of Florida's most recognized natural landmarks and a place most Shores residents visit regularly. SE 36th Avenue, also known as Maricamp Road, serves as the main commercial corridor where residents shop, eat, and handle everyday errands. Silver Springs Shores sits about five to seven miles southeast of downtown Ocala and is one of the most active residential areas in Marion County for home improvement work. It is a short drive from both Ocala to the west and Belleview to the south.
