We build and repair decks, and most of the people who call us are dealing with one of two things: they want a deck added on that actually fits how they use their yard, or they've got an existing deck that's started to feel unsafe underfoot. We got into this work because most decks in this area get built fast during a home sale and then never looked at again for fifteen years. That's usually about when the problems show up.
By the time you're looking at soft, spongy boards or a railing that wiggles when you lean on it, the fix usually isn't cosmetic anymore, it's structural. We pull the decking to check the joists and ledger board underneath before we tell you what it actually requires, instead of just screwing down new boards over a rotten frame. That's the difference between a repair that lasts a season and one that lasts another decade.
None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.
You're covered if something goes wrong on site, not left to sort it out yourself. We can show insurance documents before work starts if you'd like to see them.
Most deck projects over a certain height or size require a permit in Wisconsin, and skipping that step can cause problems when you sell the house. We handle the paperwork and schedule the inspections.
Deck demolition leaves a lot of scrap lumber and loose fasteners behind, and we don't leave that for you to step on. We haul it out and sweep the site before we call the job finished.
We measure the site and give you a number in writing, broken out by material and labor. If something changes mid-project, like rot we find once we pull the old boards, we tell you before we do anything about it.
Composite costs more up front but skips the yearly staining. Pressure-treated lumber costs less but requires sealing every two to three years to keep water out of the grain. We'll tell you the tradeoffs instead of just picking for you.
Wisconsin's frost depth means footings have to go down further than a lot of national deck guides assume. We build to what actually works in this soil, not a national average.
