Frequently Asked Questions

We're not a typical one-man show or large company with rotating crews. You'll work with the same three artisans from design to completion - Jeff, Shane, and Jake bring nearly 50 years of combined expertise.

Yes, we handle everything including permitting, material selection, and construction. Our experience with local codes in Lakeville, Apple Valley, Burnsville, and surrounding areas keeps projects on track.

We offer both composite and traditional wood options. Composite requires minimal maintenance and withstands Minnesota weather, while wood offers classic beauty with regular care requirements.

Our drainage systems include under-deck gutters, rain screens, and proper grading. This prevents water damage, extends deck life, and keeps lower areas usable year-round.

We design for Minnesota's extreme conditions including heavy snow loads, temperature swings from -20°F to 98°F, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles that stress inferior construction.

Screened porches let you enjoy outdoor living without bugs, weather disruptions, or UV exposure. We handle framing, screening, electrical, and roofing for complete outdoor rooms.

We build freestanding pergolas for garden retreats, attached versions for seamless home integration, and custom designs with climbing plant support or integrated lighting systems.

Project timelines vary by scope and season. Deck builds typically take 1-2 weeks, screened porches 2-3 weeks. We provide detailed schedules during your free estimate.

We serve the entire south metro including Lakeville, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Prior Lake, Eagan, Savage, Shakopee, Farmington, and areas up to 30 minutes from our Lakeville base.
