About Us
At Slater Custom Contracting, we believe your home or business deserves more than just a contractor - it deserves a craftsman who takes pride in the work long after the job is done.
​
Founded in 2004, we've spent over two decades serving the Finger Lakes region with a full range of contracting services: from custom remodels and new construction to bathrooms, siding, and exterior work. No matter the scope of the project, we bring the same level of attention to detail, care and craftsmanship to every project - whether it's a small job, a renovation, or a full build from the ground up.
​
We're not a revolving door operation. We're your neighbors, and we treat every project like it's our own.
Project Highlight
Mahogany Deck Expansion & IPE Reface
​
What started as a deck expansion turned into a full structural refresh and the result speaks for itself. The homeowner wanted to expand their existing mahogany deck and reface it with IPE, a dense, weather-resistant hardwood known for its rich color and long lifespan. Once we got into the project, we found significant rot in the deck joists - a problem that needed to be addressed.
​
We replaced the compromised joists to rebuild a solid foundation, then installed the new IPE decking. To protect the investment long-term, we also added proper venting underneath the deck, allowing it to breathe and helping prevent the same rot issue from creeping back in down the road. We finished the project with a protective oil seal to lock in that rich color and guard against the elements.​
