Our Story

How we ended up doing this

We build and repair decks for homeowners around Milwaukee, and most of what we know came from tearing apart decks other people built and figuring out why they failed. A lot of what looks fine from the top of a deck is hiding a rotted ledger board or a footing that was never poured deep enough.

If you're on this page, there's a decent chance your deck has a soft spot, a rail that moves, or boards that have gone silver and splintery. We pull the framing apart to find the actual cause instead of just replacing the board you can see, and we set new footings below the frost line so the fix holds through the next ten Wisconsin winters, not just this summer.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed and Insured

You're covered if a ladder scratches the siding or a board falls the wrong way. Ask for certificates before we ever start cutting lumber.

Straightforward Quotes

The quote breaks down lumber, hardware, and labor separately, so you know what you're actually paying for. No allowance clauses that turn into surprises at the end.

Permits Handled

Milwaukee and most surrounding municipalities require a permit for any deck over 30 inches off the ground. We handle the paperwork and schedule the inspections so you don't have to learn the code yourself.

Our Own Crew

We don't hand the job off to a rotating cast of subcontractors. The same guys who dig the footings are the ones setting the railing three weeks later.

Materials That Last

Composite costs more up front but doesn't need re-staining every two years. Pressure-treated pine is cheaper and fine for framing, but we'll tell you straight if it's the wrong call for your decking boards.

Cleanup Included

Deck demolition leaves a lot of small screws and splinters in the yard, especially if kids or dogs use it. We run a magnetic sweep before we call the job done.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who's doing the work and how we operate.

How long has deck building been the main focus of work?
Deck construction and repair has been the focus of the work for years, covering everything from small repair calls to full custom builds. That focus on one trade means less guessing on framing spans, footing depth, and code requirements than a general contractor juggling several trades.
Is deck work done by an in-house crew or subcontractors?
Deck installation and repair work is done by an in-house crew rather than subcontracted out to whoever is available that week. The same crew that pours footings and frames the deck also handles the railing, stairs, and finish work.
Can past deck projects be seen before hiring?
Photos of completed deck installations, railing work, and staining jobs are available on request, showing a range of sizes and materials from pressure-treated pine to composite. Seeing a similar project, especially one with a comparable yard slope or layout, is a normal part of planning a new deck.
Why choose a dedicated deck builder instead of a large remodeling company?
A dedicated deck builder spends every working day on framing, footings, and decking material, rather than splitting attention across kitchens, roofs, and additions. That focus tends to mean fewer surprises with things specific to deck construction, like frost heave or ledger board flashing.
Where is the deck building business based?
Deck installation and repair work is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with most jobs falling within about a 50-mile radius covering the surrounding suburbs and towns. Jobs farther out are considered on a case-by-case basis.
How far ahead should a deck project be booked?
Spring through early summer is the busiest stretch for deck installation, so booking a few weeks ahead during that window is a good idea. Fall and winter tend to have more open scheduling, and staining or small repairs can often be fit in faster than a full new build.
Is the job site cleaned up after a deck is finished?
Old decking, cutoffs, and packaging from new material get hauled away as part of every deck job, not left for the homeowner to deal with. A magnetic sweep for stray screws and nails is standard before a job is called finished.
What happens if property is damaged during deck work?
Deck construction work is covered by liability insurance, and any accidental damage to siding, landscaping, or other property during a project is addressed under that coverage. Certificates of insurance are available before work begins if requested.
Will an unfinished deck from another contractor be taken over?
Picking up a partially built deck from another contractor is possible, but it starts with an inspection of the existing footings and framing to confirm they meet code before building on top of them. Sometimes what's already in the ground has to come out and be redone before the project can move forward safely.
How can a homeowner tell if deck work is being done correctly?
Footings should be poured to the required depth below the frost line, joists spaced correctly for the decking material, and railings bolted through structural framing rather than just screwed to a rim board's face. Permit inspections at the footing and framing stage are the outside check that the work meets code, and asking to see inspection sign-off is a reasonable request.
