The boards are obvious. The footings and framing? Not so much.

Paying attention to both is the secret to a deck that stands the test of time.

Mosquitoes hate to see us coming.

We build cozy havens they can’t get into.

Sit outside. Eat outside. Relax without becoming dinner.

If your first cookout of the year had you stepping around warped boards, raised screws, or wobbly railings, it’s time to do something about it.

Let us make your deck feel like a retreat, not another task.

Footings can be a total mess… especially in the spring.

Instead of digging holes and pouring traditional concrete footings, we use a jackhammer and steel rods to install Diamond Pier footings (basically creating a tree-root-like structure underground).

It’s engineered to resist frost heave in the winter and as you can see, it lets us work cleaner and faster, so you can enjoy your deck sooner.

⚠️ No one-size-fits-all deck exists. ⚠️

That’s why we design around how you actually use your space.

These “mistakes” are really just unintended consequences we like to help homeowners avoid. But if you love a design feature enough, it might be worth the trade-off (and that’s totally fine too)!

Cable railing isn’t cheap.

It can run close to 2x the cost of aluminum.

So we don’t just throw it everywhere.

On the main deck? Worth it. The view is the whole point.

On the stairs? You’re not standing there soaking in the lake.

So we used aluminum that coordinates with the cable posts and keeps the look clean.

Same durability. Smarter allocation.
