Elevated deck with railings spanning the back of a two-story house

Built for Iowa

A deck that lasts, not one you replace

A deck lives outside through everything an Iowa year throws at it — freeze-thaw, heavy snow, summer heat. We build with proper footings below the frost line, correct framing and spans, and quality fasteners, so your deck stays solid and level for the long haul.

Whether you want a simple spot for the grill or a large elevated deck off a second story, we'll design it around your home and how you'll use it — then build it clean and to code.

  • Frost-depth footings and correctly sized framing
  • Pressure-treated, cedar or low-maintenance composite
  • Railings, stairs, landings and built-in seating
  • Permitted and built to code
