Why Choose a Wood Deck
Wood decks remain one of the most popular choices for Minnesota homeowners. Cedar offers rich, natural beauty with natural resistance to rot and insects, while pressure-treated lumber provides long-lasting strength at an affordable cost. Our team designs and builds custom wood decks that enhance your outdoor space and hold up to local weather conditions.

Cedar vs. Pressure-Treated Lumber
Finding the Right Fit for Your Deck
Cedar provides a premium look with warm tones and natural resistance to decay. Pressure-treated lumber, infused with preservatives, offers long-term durability at a lower price point. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each option and help you select the right material for your budget, style, and maintenance preferences.
Built for Minnesota’s Weather
Wood Decks That Endure the Elements
Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles, humid summers, and snowy winters are tough on wood decks. That’s why we build with frost-proof footings, reinforced framing, and protective sealants. With routine refinishing, cedar and pressure-treated decks can last for decades, offering timeless style and reliable strength through every season.
