Create an outdoor space you'll love spending time in. From custom decks and covered porches to complete outdoor living spaces, we've been helping homeowners bring their visions to life for more than 25 years with quality materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and lasting results.
Custom Decks, Porches & Outdoor Living Built for Minnesota
A great deck turns your backyard into the best room in the house. We design and build custom decks and porches that fit how your family actually lives outside: room to grill and gather, clean lines that match your home, and materials tough enough for Minnesota freeze-thaw winters. From a low-maintenance composite deck in Maple Grove to a screened porch in St. Michael, our crew handles design, permits, and construction start to finish.

There is no single price for a deck, because a small ground-level platform and a large elevated composite deck with cable railing are completely different projects. A few things drive the cost:
- check_circleSize & height: square footage, plus whether the deck is elevated and needs stairs, footings, and structural framing.
- check_circleMaterial: pressure-treated wood is the most affordable, cedar sits in the middle, and premium composite like Trex or TimberTech costs more up front but saves on upkeep.
- check_circleRailing style: wood, aluminum, and cable railing each land at a different price point.
- check_circleExtras: built-in lighting, benches, pergolas, and screened sections all add to the total.

How much does it cost to build a deck?
Deck cost depends on size, height, material, and railing style. A small ground-level pressure-treated deck sits at one end, a large elevated composite deck with cable railing at the other. The most reliable number comes from a free on-site estimate, where we measure your yard and price it line by line.
Composite or wood - which decking is better in Minnesota?
Both work well here. Composite like Trex and TimberTech costs more up front but shrugs off Minnesota moisture and freeze-thaw with almost no maintenance. Cedar and pressure-treated wood cost less and offer natural warmth, but need regular sealing. We will walk you through the trade-offs for your budget.
Do I need a permit to build a deck in the Twin Cities?
Most Twin Cities municipalities require a permit for a new deck, especially anything elevated or attached to the house. As your licensed general contractor (BC521365), we handle the permit and inspections so the deck is built and signed off to code.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most decks take one to two weeks of build time once permits and materials are in hand, depending on size, height, and complexity. Screened porches and additions take longer. We give you a realistic schedule up front.
How much maintenance does a composite deck need?
Very little. A composite deck never needs staining or sealing, just an occasional wash with soap and water. That low upkeep is a big reason many Twin Cities homeowners choose composite over wood.
Do you build covered porches, screened porches, and additions?
Yes. Along with open decks we build covered porches, three-season and screened porches, and full room additions, all handled by the same in-house crew so the design and finishes flow with your home.
