OUR SERVICES
Deck Building Solutions Crystal, Minnesota
deck Building
Custom deck construction is our specialty. We design and build decks for new and existing homes, handling everything from layout and permits to footings, framing, decking, and railing. We'll walk you through material and budget options and build a deck that fits how you actually use your outdoor space. Services include: • Custom deck design and layout • New deck construction • Permits, footings, and framing • Composite, PVC, and wood decking • Aluminum railing systems • Multi-level and wraparound decks
What to Expect:
We start with a free on-site consultation to discuss your goals, space, and budget, then provide a clear quote and material options. We handle the full build start to finish and keep the site clean along the way.
composite & PVC Decking
Maintenance-free decking is where we shine. Composite and PVC boards give you the look of real wood without the upkeep, no staining, no sealing, no splinters. They resist fading, staining, scratching, mold, and moisture, and they hold up beautifully to Minnesota's freeze-thaw winters. We install premium products from Trex, TimberTech, and AZEK, with a range of colors and styles to match your home. Services include: • Trex, TimberTech, and AZEK decking • Composite (wood-plastic) and cellular PVC options • Wide range of colors, grains, and finishes • Hidden fastener systems for a clean, screw-free surface • Pairing with aluminum railing for a fully low-maintenance build
What to Expect:
We help you compare composite vs. PVC based on your budget, color preference, and how much sun and traffic your deck gets, then install for a flawless, long-lasting finish backed by manufacturer warranties.
new deck construction
Starting fresh? We build new decks for both new-construction homes and existing properties, engineered for proper support, drainage, and code compliance, with frost-depth footings built for Minnesota ground. Services include: • New-construction and existing-home deck builds • Frost-depth footings and solid framing • Ledger flashing and proper water management • Composite, PVC, or wood surfaces • Stairs, landings, and built-in features
What to Expect:
We assess your site, confirm the best layout and elevation, pull any required permits, and build a deck that's structurally sound and finished to a premium standard.
deck replacement & rebuilding
If your old deck is unsafe, rotting, or just dated, we handle complete tear-down and rebuild. We remove the existing structure entirely and build a brand-new deck and railing system, the perfect opportunity to upgrade to maintenance-free materials. Services include: • Full removal and haul-away of the old deck • New footings and framing as needed • Brand-new decking and railing • Upgrade from wood to composite or PVC • Code and safety updates
What to Expect:
We evaluate your current deck, explain what's driving the rebuild, and give you a clear quote. Then we remove the old structure and build new, cleaner, safer, and built to last.
deck resurfacing
If your deck's framing is still structurally sound, resurfacing can save you money, we keep the existing frame and replace the decking boards and railing with new, often maintenance-free, materials. It's a great way to get a like-new deck for less. Services include: • Inspection of existing framing, footings, and ledger • Replacement of deck boards and railing • Upgrade to composite, PVC, or aluminum railing • Honest assessment of frame condition
What to Expect:
We inspect the existing structure first. If it's sound, we resurface. If the framing is aged or compromised, we'll tell you straight, a full rebuild is sometimes the safer, smarter long-term call, and we'll lay out both options with pricing so you can decide.
wood decks
Not everyone wants composite, and that's completely fine. For budget-conscious customers, we build quality traditional wood decks that look great and give you a solid outdoor space at a lower upfront cost. Services include: • Pressure-treated and cedar wood decks • Custom layouts and railing • Stairs, landings, and features • Guidance on staining and upkeep
What to Expect:
We'll be upfront about the trade-offs, wood costs less to build but needs periodic staining and sealing to last. If that fits your budget and plans, we'll build you a clean, well-constructed wood deck.
Railings
Railings make or break a deck's look. Our primary offering is sleek aluminum railing, rust-proof, powder-coated, low-maintenance, and strong, with slim profiles that keep your view open. We also handle railing replacement and upgrades on existing decks. Services include: • Aluminum railing systems • Railing replacement and upgrades • Cable, glass, or picket infill options • Color-matched to your decking
What to Expect:
We recommend a railing style that complements your deck and home, then install it clean and level for a finished, premium look.
concrete landing
A good landing finishes the stairs, and the space under your deck shouldn't go to waste. We pour concrete landings at the base of deck stairs and full patios underneath elevated decks, turning bare dirt or gravel into a clean, usable space that stays dry and level. You can choose standard broom-finish concrete for a durable, budget-friendly surface, or colored stamped concrete that looks like stone, slate, or brick without the upkeep. Services include: • Concrete landings at deck stairs • Under-deck patios • Standard broom-finish slab concrete • Colored and stamped concrete patterns • Grading and base prep for proper drainage
What to Expect:
We help you choose standard or colored stamped concrete to match your deck and home, then pour and finish a clean, level slab that looks good and holds up for years.
