Deck Building
Deck Builder in St. Charles, MO
Custom wood and composite decks, stairs, railings, and covered porches built for Missouri weather.
Overview
Outdoor Space You’ll Actually Use
A good deck adds living space to your home for most of the year. A bad one wobbles, rots, and needs constant work.
We design and build custom decks throughout St. Charles County: single-level decks, two-story decks over walkout basements, wraparound designs, covered porches, and replacement decks. We work with pressure-treated wood and composite decking, and we’ll walk you through the trade-offs in cost and maintenance.
Every deck we build is permitted and built with proper footings, ledger attachment, and hardware, because what holds the deck up matters more than the boards on top.

FAQ
Deck Building Questions
Do I need a permit to build a deck?
In most of St. Charles County, yes, especially for decks attached to the house or raised off the ground. We handle the permit and inspections.
Should I choose wood or composite?
Pressure-treated wood costs less up front but needs regular staining and sealing. Composite costs more but holds its color and needs very little maintenance. We’ll help you compare for your budget.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most decks are built in about one to two weeks once the permit is approved and materials are delivered. Larger or covered decks take longer.
Can you replace my old deck?
Yes. We tear out and haul away old decks and rebuild, often reusing the same footprint or improving the layout.
Can you build a deck off a walkout basement?
Yes. Elevated decks over walkouts are very common in St. Charles County, and many of our projects are second-story decks with stairs to the yard.

Other Services
I build decks to be enjoyed for years: proper footings, flashing where the deck meets the house, and hardware that will not rust out.
