What We Do

Our Services

A look at the deck work we handle most, from new builds to repairs.

Deck Installation

New deck built from the ground up, framed to hold through Wisconsin winters.

Deck Repair

Soft boards, loose railings, sagging stairs, we track down the cause and fix it.

Deck Staining & Sealing

A stain that soaks into the wood instead of peeling off in a year.

Custom Deck Design

A layout built around your yard, not a template.

Composite Decking Installation

Low-maintenance boards that won't warp, crack or need restaining.

Deck Railing Repair & Installation

Sturdy railings built to code, not just bolted on.

Who We Are

Who's Actually Building Your Deck

We build and repair decks for homeowners across Milwaukee and the surrounding suburbs. Most people call us because a deck is sagging, the boards have gone gray and splintery, or they want more outdoor space than their current setup gives them. If you're standing on a deck right now wondering if it's safe to have twelve people on it for a cookout, that's the kind of call we get.

We start every repair by checking the framing, not just the boards on top, because a deck that looks fine can still have a rotted ledger board or a footing that's shifted. On new builds we set footings below the frost line and use joist hangers rated for the load, not just nailed through the side. That's the difference between a deck that's tight in five years and one that starts creaking after the first winter.

What people said afterwards

5.0 from 100+ reviews
Our new deck out in Wauwatosa turned out great, but what stuck with me is they actually checked the soil before setting the footings instead of just eyeballing it.

Deck Installation · Racine, WI
Redid the stain on our place in Milwaukee and it actually soaked in instead of peeling by August like the last guy's job did.
Marcus P.
Deck Staining & Sealing · Waukesha, WI
Had to push the start back a week because of rain, kind of annoying, but they called ahead and the railing repair out in New Berlin still got done before our kid's graduation party.

Common Questions

Questions we get a lot

Questions homeowners usually ask before booking a deck build.

How much does a new deck cost?
Deck costs in the Milwaukee area typically depend on square footage, decking material and how many levels or railings are involved. Pressure-treated lumber decks usually cost less per square foot than composite, and stairs, railings and multi-level framing add to the total. A simple ground-level deck costs less than one with built-in seating or an attached pergola.
Are you licensed and insured?
Deck construction and repair work should be handled by a licensed and insured contractor, and certificates of insurance can be supplied on request. This protects a homeowner if a worker is injured on site or if property is damaged during construction.
How soon can you start my deck project?
Start dates for deck construction depend on the season and how many projects are already scheduled, with spring and early summer being the busiest months in Wisconsin. Fall and winter often open up more availability, though frozen or wet ground can affect when footings get dug.
Do you work outside of Milwaukee?
Deck building and repair work extends to towns and suburbs within roughly 50 miles of Milwaukee, including Waukesha, Racine and West Allis. Travel distance can affect scheduling for jobs further from the city.
Do you build decks on condos or rental properties?
Deck construction and repair applies to single-family homes, condos, duplexes and rental properties, though condo associations sometimes require separate approval before construction starts. Checking with a property manager or HOA ahead of an estimate can save time.
Will you take on a small repair job, or only full deck builds?
Small repairs, like replacing a few rotted boards or tightening a wobbly railing, come up just as often as full deck installations. No deck job is too small to take a look at.
How do I get started?
Getting started with a deck project usually begins with a call or message describing the work, followed by a site visit to take measurements and check conditions. A written quote follows once the scope is clear.
What affects the price of a deck the most?
Square footage and decking material drive most of the cost of a new deck, but stairs, railings, built-in seating and deck height above grade all add labor and material. A project that requires a permit and inspection typically takes longer to complete than one that doesn't.
Do you require a deposit before starting work?
Most deck projects require a deposit before materials get ordered, with the remaining balance due on completion. The payment schedule gets spelled out in the written quote before work begins.
What happens if it rains during my deck build?
Framing and decking work can often continue through light rain, but pouring concrete footings and staining or sealing require dry conditions. If weather pushes a deck project back, the schedule gets adjusted and the homeowner gets notified ahead of time.
