Who We Are

Built by people who work on decks every week

We build and repair decks for homeowners in Milwaukee and the towns around it. If you're reading this, there's a good chance a board is soft underfoot, a railing has some give in it, or the deck just doesn't look like it did five summers ago. Wisconsin winters are hard on wood and hard on the fasteners holding it together. We see the same failures over and over: ledger boards pulling away from the house, footings that never sat below the frost line to begin with.

We tie every ledger board into the house with proper flashing, so water runs off instead of soaking into your siding. Footings go down below Milwaukee's frost line, not a shovel's depth, so the deck doesn't heave every spring. We use joist hangers rated for exterior use and space the decking boards to allow for wood movement in the humidity swings we get here. None of that shows up in a photo, but it's the difference between a deck that lasts eight years and one that lasts twenty five.

Had a board give out on the back steps in Wauwatosa and they came out within a few days. Turned out the stringer was rotted underneath, glad they checked before just patching the board.

They pushed the stain date back a week because of rain, kind of annoying but I'd rather it dry right. Deck out in Franklin looks great going into fall.

Went with composite after the old pressure-treated boards kept splintering. Milwaukee crew got it done in three days, hidden fasteners look clean.

Common Questions

Questions we get a lot

Answers to what most people ask before they call.

How much does a new deck cost in Milwaukee?
Most decks in the Milwaukee area run between a few thousand dollars for a small pressure-treated platform and well over $20,000 for a large multi-level composite deck with built-in features. Size, decking material, railing type, and the number of levels move that number more than anything else. A written quote after a site visit is the only way to get an accurate figure.
Are you licensed and insured?
Deck construction work is licensed and insured for residential jobs in Wisconsin. Certificates of insurance are available on request before any contract is signed.
How soon can you start my deck project?
Deck season in Wisconsin runs roughly April through October, and scheduling tightens up in late spring. Getting on the calendar in winter or early spring for a summer build date is the best way to avoid a long wait.
What areas do you cover around Milwaukee?
Deck installation and repair service covers Milwaukee and surrounding communities including Waukesha, West Allis, Wauwatosa, and Racine, along with other towns within roughly an hour's drive. Calling ahead to confirm a specific address is a good idea for outlying areas.
Do you work on condos and rental properties, or just single-family homes?
Deck work is done for single-family homes, duplexes, and small rental properties. Condo association decks usually require sign-off from the association or property manager before work starts.
Will you take on a small repair job, like fixing a few boards?
Small repairs like a handful of boards, a loose railing post, or a squeaky stair get scheduled the same way as full rebuilds. There's no job too small to quote.
How do I get started?
Calling or filling out a contact form with the deck's approximate size and what's wrong with it, if it's a repair, is the first step. A site visit usually follows to measure and check the framing before a written quote goes out.
What's included in a deck estimate?
A deck estimate breaks out the lumber or composite material, hardware, railing system, labor, and permit costs as separate line items. That makes it easy to see where the money is going and to compare material options.
Do you require a deposit before starting work?
A deposit is standard before ordering materials for a deck project, with the remaining balance due on completion. Exact terms are laid out in the written estimate before any work begins.
What happens if it rains or snows during my deck build?
Framing and footing work can usually continue through light rain, but pours, staining, and sealing get rescheduled around dry weather. Wisconsin winters can push a late-fall project into spring if the ground freezes before footings go in.
