Decks That Handle Wisconsin Weather
We build and repair decks across Milwaukee and the surrounding suburbs, from pressure-treated framing to composite boards that won't warp.
A look at the deck work we handle most often.
New deck from the ground up, built to code and set on footings below the frost line.
Loose boards, wobbly rail, soft spot near the stairs, we find the cause and fix it.
Stops the graying and cracking before it turns into board replacement.
Multi-level decks, built-in benches, whatever shape actually fits your yard.
No sanding, no re-staining, and the color doesn't fade the way pine does.
Balusters spaced to code, posts bolted through the rim joist, not just screwed to the face.
We build decks, replace decks, and re-stain decks that have gone gray and splintery, mostly for homeowners in and around Milwaukee. If your deck feels spongy underfoot, or the railing wiggles when you lean on it, you already know the kind of problem we deal with every week. A lot of decks in this area were built without anyone checking the footings, and it shows up five or ten years later. We work on everything from a simple ground-level platform to a two-story deck off the back of a house.
We set footings below the frost line, so the deck doesn't heave every spring when the ground thaws. We use hot-dipped galvanized or stainless fasteners because standard hardware rusts and stains the boards within a couple of seasons. Ledger boards get flashed properly where they meet the house, which is the single most common place we find rot when we tear an old deck apart. That attention up front is why the deck is still solid a decade from now instead of needing a rebuild.
Serving Milwaukee and the towns around it.

Most of our work comes from someone telling a neighbor about us. Here is why that keeps happening.
We carry the insurance to back up the work we do on your property.
You get a written price before any wood gets cut.
We pull the deck permit and deal with the inspector.
The crew that frames your deck is the same crew that finishes it.
We'll talk you through pressure-treated, cedar, and composite before you decide.
We haul off the old decking and the cutoffs, not just the big pieces.
Had a soft spot right by the steps out in Wauwatosa, turned out the ledger board was rotted behind the flashing. Fixed in a day and a half.
Went with Trex after seeing what pressure-treated looks like after ten years. Install ran a day past schedule from rain but they kept us posted.
Our deck out in Franklin was gray and splintery, looks like new cedar now. Stain smell lingered a couple days but worth it.
