Who We Are

The People Who'll Actually Be on Your Deck

We spend our days building and fixing decks for homeowners around Milwaukee, from a first deck off a new kitchen slider to a rebuild of one that's been sagging for a decade. Most people who call us have one of two problems: they want a deck that doesn't exist yet, or they've got boards cupping, a railing that wiggles, or a ledger board pulling away from the house. Either way, you're trusting us with something your kids will run across barefoot and your grill will sit on for years. That's not a small thing to hand over to a stranger.

We dig footings below Wisconsin's frost line so the deck doesn't heave every spring, and we flash the ledger board properly so water doesn't get behind it and rot the rim joist. We use structural screws and coated or stainless hardware instead of whatever's cheapest at the box store, because rust streaks and pulled fasteners are the first thing that makes a deck look old. If you're leaning toward composite because you're tired of staining every other year, we'll tell you honestly what it costs next to cedar or pressure-treated pine.

Had a board give out under the grill last spring, turned out two joists were soft underneath. They caught it before it got worse, fixed it same week out in Franklin.

Waited too long to get ours redone honestly, wood was already graying. Power washed it and it looked almost new after, we're over in Wauwatosa.

Had to reschedule twice because of rain in June but they kept us posted. The Trex boards look great, no more sanding every year.

Common Questions

Questions we get a lot

Questions people ask before they call.

Do you offer free estimates for deck projects?
Yes, a visit to the site to look at the yard and take measurements comes with no charge and no obligation. Most homeowners get a written number within a few days of that visit.
Are deck builders required to be licensed and insured in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin requires dwelling contractors, including deck builders, to be registered with the state, and carrying general liability insurance on top of that is standard practice. Certificates of insurance can be shared before any work starts.
How soon can a deck project get started?
Timing depends on the season and the current backlog, with spring and early summer booking up fastest since that's when most homeowners want a new deck. Fall usually has a shorter wait and often better weather for pouring footings.
What areas around Milwaukee do you build decks in?
Deck installation and repair covers Milwaukee and the surrounding suburbs, generally within about a 50-mile radius of the city. A quick phone call can confirm whether a specific address falls inside that range.
Do you build decks on condos and rentals, not just single-family homes?
Deck construction and repair happens on single-family homes, duplexes, condos and small rental properties alike. Condo associations sometimes require extra approval before work starts, which just adds a step rather than a problem.
Will a small deck repair job get taken on its own?
Yes, replacing a handful of boards or fixing a loose railing post gets scheduled on its own, not just bundled into a full rebuild. A lot of deck calls are exactly that kind of small fix.
How do I get started on a deck project?
Call or send a message with a rough idea of what's wanted and the property address, and a site visit gets scheduled to take measurements. A written quote follows before anything is booked on the calendar.
What does a new deck typically cost?
Cost depends mainly on square footage, decking material and how complicated the framing is, with composite running well above pressure-treated pine and multi-level designs costing more than a single flat platform. A basic pressure-treated deck costs a fraction of a large composite deck with built-in railing and stairs, and a site visit is the only way to get a real number.
Is a deposit required before work begins on a deck?
A deposit is standard before lumber and hardware get ordered, with the remaining balance due once the deck is finished. The exact split gets written into the quote before anyone signs anything.
What happens if it rains or snows during a scheduled deck project?
Framing and decking work stops in heavy rain or snow, and the schedule shifts by a day or two instead of rushing a footing pour in bad conditions. Concrete footings need dry, stable weather to cure properly, so short weather delays are normal.
