Custom Decks, Hand Built to Last Decades

A new deck for your yard, or a fresh start for the one you have. Built with care, from the frame to the final board.

Whether you're starting with an empty yard or replacing an old deck, we start by looking at the space with you. We talk through the layout, measure up and put the work into a written itemized quote.

What we build

New decks and full replacements, with the stairs, railings and layout planned as part of the job. If you're replacing a deck, we inspect what's underneath before recommending what to keep and what needs to go. We also build multi level decks, pergolas and decks around pools and ponds.

Materials that fit your project

We use quality materials from trusted brands, including Trex, and help you choose what fits your project. We'll explain the differences between wood and composite, including cost and upkeep, before you decide.

How the framing is done

Footings go below the frost line so the deck doesn't heave. Joists are spaced and hung to code with proper hangers and bracing, not the bare minimum the span table allows. Where the deck meets the house we flash the ledger and add ice and water shield, because a leaking ledger is how a deck rots a house. Railings and stairs are built to code and match the deck. That's what the inspector looks at, and it's what decides whether the deck is still solid in fifteen years.

How a deck job runs

We walk the yard with you, measure and put together a written itemized quote. Once the scope is agreed, we handle the permit and inspections with your township. You know what we're building and what's included before the work starts.

They were professional and did exactly what we consulted about as well as in the timeframe we discussed. The work they did on my deck is fantastic! I'm very pleased and would recommend them to anyone.

They took time to do some custom rebuilds that look great. The project added years to the life of the deck. I would definitely use them for other projects.

Questions

Questions about decks & outdoor living

How much does a new deck cost?

It depends on size, height off the ground, material, railing style, stairs and how easy the site is to get into, so we won't throw out a number before seeing the yard. We measure it and give you a written itemized quote, so you can see exactly what each part costs. Pressure treated is the least expensive up front, cedar sits in the middle, and composite costs more but needs almost no upkeep.

Do I need a permit for a deck in Michigan?

Almost always, and it protects you: the footings, framing and railings get inspected against code. We pull the permit with your township or city and schedule the inspections. You do not have to deal with the building department.

Composite or wood?

If you plan to stay in the house and don't want to stain a deck every couple of years, composite usually wins even at the higher price. If budget is the priority, pressure treated is hard to beat. We build both, so you get an honest comparison for your deck.

How long does a deck take?

It depends on the size and the permit. Once the permit is issued and materials are on site, a single level deck is a short job; multi level decks and full tear offs run longer. The schedule is written into the quote so you know before we start.

My boards are shot but the frame feels solid. Do I need a whole new deck?

Maybe not. If the footings, posts and joists check out, new boards and railings on the existing frame cost a lot less than a rebuild. We inspect the structure first and tell you which one you actually need.

Something else? Call (248) 660-6721 and ask.
