Decks built for Iowa weather.

Composite and cedar decks, railings, stairs and pergolas, built to code and built to last. Serving Polk County, the west metro and Ames.

We build new decks, replace rotted or unsafe ones, and add railings, stairs, privacy screens and pergolas. Every deck is framed to Iowa code with proper footings, ledger flashing and hardware rated for our freeze-thaw winters, so it looks right on day one and stays solid for years.

You choose the material (low-maintenance composite or classic cedar); we handle design, permits, build and cleanup.

Deck FAQs

Questions we hear most

How much does a deck cost?

It depends on size, material and railing: a composite deck with aluminum railing is a different project from a treated-wood platform. After a free visit you get a clear written price before we start.

Do I need a permit?

Yes in most Polk County cities. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections and build to the current code.

How long does it take?

A typical deck is one to two weeks on site once materials and the permit are in hand.
