Decks for Michigan backyards.
Composite, capped-polymer, and natural-wood decks engineered for Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles — Trex, TimberTech, and AZEK leading the lineup, built to outlast the patio sets you'd otherwise keep replacing.

A deck built for Michigan seasons.
The decks that fail in this region don't fail because of the materials. They fail because of how they're put together: undersized footings above the frost line, ledger boards flashed wrong, joist hangers nailed instead of structural-screwed, fasteners that rust out by year five. A deck is structural work — and it lives outside through every freeze, thaw, and humid August day Michigan throws at it.
We build with Trex, TimberTech, AZEK, pressure-treated wood, cedar, and exotic hardwoods — the right material matched to your budget, design, and how you actually plan to use the space. Composite for the no-maintenance crowd; natural wood for the ones who want the look and don't mind sealing it.
We also handle the parts homeowners hate: permits, inspections, and code compliance. Frost-line footings to 42″, IRC-spec ledger flashing, code-correct guardrail height — the boring details that decide whether your deck is still safe in 2050.
What a deck actually gets you.
Four reasons most homeowners end up calling — beyond just 'I want a deck.'

Low-Maintenance Options
Signs your deck needs work.
If you're seeing any of these on your existing deck, repair-or-replace is the conversation — and a few are active safety issues that shouldn't wait.
Soft or spongy boards
Wood that gives underfoot signals interior rot. The surface might still look fine — the joists below it usually aren't.
Loose or wobbly railings
An active fall risk, and almost always a sign that the post connections are failing. Don't host another party until this is fixed.
Cracked or splintering boards
Deep cracks let water in and become bigger cracks. Surface splinters become barefoot hazards. Both are progressive.
Visible mold or mildew
Green or black growth in the boards is moisture damage in progress. Pressure-washing makes it look better; the underlying wood is still degrading.
Rusted or corroded fasteners
Joist hangers, ledger bolts, and structural screws that have rusted are the deck-collapse failure mode you read about. Replaceable on most decks.
15–20+ years old (wood deck)
Pressure-treated decks in Michigan typically reach end-of-life by year 20, even with regular sealing. Past that, it's usually time for the replacement conversation.
What we build with.
Six material categories — every one has a budget tier and a use case where it's the right answer. We'll walk you through which fits your project.
Trex Composite
25-Yr WarrantyThe volume leader in capped composite. Made from ~95% recycled material. Fade-, stain-, and mold-resistant — and the line most Michigan homeowners recognize.
TimberTech & AZEK
30–50 YrPremium capped polymer (AZEK) and capped composite (TimberTech). Better scratch resistance, more realistic wood-grain texture, and longer warranties than entry-level composite.
Pressure-Treated Wood
15–20 YrThe value tier. Treated southern yellow pine resists rot and insects. Lower upfront cost; the trade-off is sealing every 1–3 years and a shorter overall lifespan.
Cedar & Redwood
20–25 YrNaturally rot- and insect-resistant. Beautiful grain, classic feel, accepts stain and finish well. A premium natural look without the cost of exotic hardwoods.
PVC Decking
25–30 Yr100% synthetic, zero wood content. The best moisture resistance of any decking material — the right call for waterfront, poolside, and locations that stay wet.
Exotic Hardwoods
40–75 YrIpe, Cumaru, Tigerwood. Extremely dense — sinks in water, requires pre-drilled fasteners, weighs more than other decking. Stunning natural beauty that lasts decades.
Deck styles we build.
From a simple ground-level platform to a multi-zone entertainment deck — we design around how you actually use the space.
Ground-Level Decks
Flat YardsRight at grade or one step up. Easiest install, no guardrail required by code under 30″, and a seamless flow from interior to backyard.
Elevated & Multi-Level
Sloped LotsFor walkout basements and sloped backyards. Distinct zones for dining, lounging, and entertaining — separated by a few steps instead of a wall.
Pool & Hot Tub Decks
Wet EnvironmentsSlip-resistant boards, moisture-tolerant materials, and framing rated for hot-tub loads. Built for the wet environment from the start.
How a deck project actually works.
Five steps from consultation to a finished deck. Most builds take 1–2 weeks of on-site work, plus permit lead time.
Consultation
We walk your yard, measure the space, and talk through how you'll actually use the deck.
Design & Quote
A custom design with material options and a detailed written estimate — itemized, not lump-sum.
Permits
We pull permits, schedule inspections, and handle the municipal back-and-forth so you don't have to.
Build
Footings to frame to deck boards. Code-spec ledger flashing and structural screws on every connection.
Walkthrough
Final inspection passed, the site cleaned up, and we walk the deck with you before signing off.

42 years of Michigan-specific build experience, manufacturer-backed materials, and the install details that decide whether the deck lasts.
Manufacturers You Recognize
We build with Trex, TimberTech, AZEK, Fiberon, and the natural-wood species that hold up here — backed by real manufacturer warranties, not just a handshake.
Permits & Code Compliance
We pull the permit, schedule the rough and final inspections, and build to code — frost-line footings, IRC-spec flashing, code-correct guardrail height. The boring stuff that protects your investment.
Built for Michigan Weather
42″ frost-line footings, hot-dip galvanized or stainless fasteners, and ledger flashing detailed for snowmelt. The freeze-thaw cycle is what kills decks here — we build like it.
Family-Owned Since 1984
Two generations of Michigan contractors — your neighbors, not a national franchise. We're still here when you call us back in five years.
Itemized Pricing & Financing
