Deck Building in Marshall, WI

Site Evaluation and Layout

Together we walk the yard to determine the ideal location, size, height, and orientation for your new deck, considering sun exposure, door placement, grade changes, and how you plan to use the space for cooking, dining, or lounging.

Frost-Depth Footings

Concrete footings are placed at least 48 inches below grade to sit beneath the frost line, then sized to carry the deck's load without settling. Solid footings are the single most important factor in a deck that stays level for decades.

Framing and Ledger Attachment

Joists are spaced for the decking you choose, beams are sized to span tables, and the ledger is bolted and flashed so water cannot reach the house's rim board. This hidden framework is what keeps a deck from developing bounce or soft spots.

Wood and Composite Decking

Pressure-treated lumber offers a lower upfront cost in exchange for regular sealing, while composite resists moisture, insects, and fading with minimal upkeep. Either way, boards are gapped and fastened for drainage and expansion through Wisconsin's wide temperature swings.

Railings, Stairs, and Multi-Level Designs

Guardrails are built to the height and baluster spacing Wisconsin code requires, stairs are cut with consistent rise and run, and multi-level layouts step the deck down a sloped yard to create distinct areas for grilling, dining, and relaxing.

Deck Repair and Rebuilds

Loose railings, rotted boards, and failing ledgers are repaired when the frame is sound. When rot is widespread or the ledger is pulling away from the house, a rebuild on new footings is safer and more cost-effective than patching.

FAQ's

A Deck That Stays Level Through Every Thaw

Because footings go below the frost line and framing is sized correctly, the deck you step onto in April sits exactly where it did in October. No heaved posts, no racked railings, and no gaps opening at the house.

Water Kept Away From Your House

Ledger flashing, proper board gapping, and drainage planning protect the most vulnerable spot on any home, the point where the deck meets the wall. Rot at the rim joist is expensive to fix and surprisingly easy to prevent.

Honest Guidance on Wood Versus Composite

We explain the real trade-offs, including upkeep, heat underfoot, cost, and appearance, so you choose the material that fits how you will maintain and use the deck. There is no upsell, just the option that suits your household.

Railings and Stairs That Pass Inspection

Guard height, baluster spacing, and stair dimensions are built to current Wisconsin code the first time. Inspections go smoothly, and the people leaning on your railing during a summer cookout are standing behind something built to hold them safely.

Permits and Inspections Guided for You

Nearly every deck project in the area requires a building permit and inspections of footing depth, framing, and railings. We walk you through exactly what is needed and schedule those inspections so paperwork never stalls your build for a week.

Built to Be Used for Decades

Every deck we build is covered by a 1-year labor warranty, but it is designed to outlast that by a wide margin. Correct footings, sound framing, and durable decking mean more summers enjoyed and fewer weekends spent on repairs.
