4 Reasons These Are the Best-Value Decks in the Twin Cities

Great pricing, uncompromised materials, and a build standard most contractors can't match.

1. Overbuilt for Longer Lifespans

Most decks are built to pass inspection. Ours are built to last 25–30 years. Better framing, better footings, better everything — and a deck that lasts twice as long costs half as much over its lifetime. Lifespan is the number most people forget to factor in. It's the one that matters most.

2. We Use Best-Value Materials

After hundreds of builds, we know which materials actually deliver and which ones just look good on a quote. Every Core Series plan is spec'd with the common-sense choices — the ones that maximize lifespan, minimize maintenance, and give you the best outcome for the money. No guesswork. No regrettable substitutions.

3. Engineered for Zero Waste → Better Design Means a Better Price

Here's something most contractors won't tell you: a poorly designed deck is an expensive one. When plans aren't sized around standard material lengths, you pay for the waste. We built these three plans specifically to eliminate that — so your price reflects what actually goes on your deck, not what gets thrown away.

4. Standardized Plans → We Pass the Savings Straight to You

We've taken the custom energy out of these three plans — same craftsmanship, without the extra time and complexity. Our team knows every cut, every measurement, every step. That means we build fast, build right, and pass the savings to you. Most builds are done in a week.

#1 - The Essential Deck

PERFECT FOR: Townhomes, tighter lots, and anyone who wants a clean, low-maintenance place to get outside. Empty nesters, smaller households, and homeowners who don't need to host a crowd — just a great space to step out into.

SIZE: 10' × 20' | 200 sq ft

PRICE: $26,000 – $32,000 *Price varies based on foundation type and stair configuration

Worth knowing: Not designed for multiple activity zones. If you entertain groups regularly or want room to spread out, Plan 2 is the better fit.

#2 - The Classic

Perfect for: Families who plan to actually live on this thing. Tuesday night dinners, weekend grilling, a corner to sit with your coffee in the morning. This is the deck that becomes an extension of your home — not just something to look at from inside.

SIZE: 16' × 20' | 320 sq ft

PRICE$33,000 – $39,000Price varies based on foundation type and stair configuration

Worth knowing: Thoughtful furniture placement keeps traffic flow clean. If you host large groups several times a year, Plan 3 gives you the breathing room to do it comfortably.

#3 - The Signature

PERFECT FOR: Townhomes, tighter lots, and anyone who wants a clean, low-maintenance place to get outside. Empty nesters, smaller households, and homeowners who don't need to host a crowd — just a great space to step out into.

SIZE: 14' × 32' | 448 sq ft

PRICE$40,000 – $48,000 Price varies based on foundation type and stair configuration

Worth knowing: This plan needs the right lot and elevation to shine. Narrow yards or constrained footprints are better suited for Plan 1 or Plan 2. We'll tell you upfront if this is or isn't the right fit for your space.

Core Series Deck

#4 - Fully Custom

PERFECT FOR: Projects that don't fit a standard footprint. Wraparound decks, multi-level builds, unique lot constraints, 3-season and 4-season porches, and backyard experiences designed from a blank sheet of paper.

SIZE: Any Size

PRICE$30,000 – $120,000+ Every project is different — price reflects your design, materials, and site

How it works: We start with a free on-location consultation, learn your space and your goals, and design something built specifically for your home. Same materials. Same standards. Same crew. Just no ceiling on what's possible.
