Custom Decks

Composite costs more upfront but never needs staining, sealing, or sanding. No splinters, no rot, no warping. Wood is less expensive initially but needs annual maintenance and will eventually need boards replaced. Most of our customers go composite and never look back.

Most composite decking manufacturers warranty their product for 25 to 50 years. The aluminum railing and fasteners we use are equally durable. A well-built composite deck will outlast the mortgage.

A typical deck takes about one to two weeks from demo (if replacing) to final walkthrough. Larger or multi-level decks may take a bit longer. We'll give you a specific timeline at the design session.

In most cases, yes. Cedar Rapids, Marion, Iowa City, and most surrounding municipalities require a building permit for a new deck or major rebuild. We handle the permit process for you.

Sometimes, but usually no. If the existing framing and footings are solid and up to code, we can sometimes resurface. More often, starting fresh gives you a better result and a proper warranty. We'll inspect and give you an honest answer.

We build decks with future additions in mind. If there's a chance you'll want a screen room or sunroom down the road, we'll design the deck's footings and framing to support it so you're not starting over.
