We help homeowners in Washtenaw upgrade their backyards into beautiful, functional outdoor living spaces. From Ann Arbor to Ypsilanti, we create beautiful lasting decks that compliment your home and natural environment.
We build decks across Washtenaw County. From Ann Arbor’s urban neighborhoods to rural properties near Manchester and Bridgewater, we handle projects other contractors won’t touch.
We completed 38+ deck projects across Washtenaw County in 2025. We’re TrexPro Platinum certified, which means we’ve been trained and vetted by Trex for composite installation quality.
Whether you’re in Burns Park, Depot Town, near Huron River trails, or out on a wooded lot near Cavanaugh Lake, we know the area. We understand local zoning, soil conditions, and weather patterns that affect how decks are built here.
Washtenaw County averages 35 inches of precipitation annually with significant snowfall from December through March. Freeze-thaw cycles are harsh here. Ground freezes deep, then thaws, then freezes again.
All deck footings must go 42 inches deep minimum to get below the frost line. If footings are too shallow, your deck will shift every winter.
Soil types vary dramatically across the county:
We handle complex, high-value projects. Multi-tier decks on steep slopes. Wraparound decks for historic homes. Estate-level builds with custom features like built-in seating, planters, and lighting systems.
If you have a difficult site—clay soil, poor drainage, steep grade, or proximity to water—we can engineer a solution.
Composite decking for Michigan weather
We’re TrexPro Platinum certified. That’s the highest certification level Trex offers. It means we’ve completed advanced training and met strict quality standards.
We install Trex, TimberTech, and Azek composite decking. These materials don’t rot, warp, or splinter like wood. They resist Michigan’s humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, and snow loads.
You don’t stain them. You don’t seal them. You rinse them off twice a year and they last 25 to 50 years.
Washtenaw County has varied terrain. Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti have hills. Chelsea and western townships have rolling landscapes. Rural areas near rivers have steep grades.
We design multi-tier decks that create functional outdoor living zones on uneven properties. Each level needs proper footings, drainage, and structural support. We engineer this so your deck doesn’t shift or settle over time.
Many older decks in Washtenaw County have undersized ledger bolts, shallow footings, or rotted framing. If your deck was built before 2000, it probably doesn’t meet current building codes.
We inspect existing structures, identify problems, and provide honest recommendations.
Sometimes you can repair sections. Often it makes more sense to tear down and rebuild correctly.
New footings, proper ledger attachment, code-compliant railings, and materials that will last 30 years.
DrySpace creates usable space under elevated decks. It’s a waterproof ceiling system that channels water away so you can use the area below for storage, seating, or outdoor living.
This works well for walkout basements, second-story decks, and anywhere you want to maximize space.
We build decks throughout Washtenaw County, including:
Ann Arbor – Custom Trex decks, multi-tier builds, and DrySpace systems in Burns Park, Water Hill, Old West Side, Northside, and near Ann Arbor Public Schools throughout the city.

Contact us for a free consultation. We’ll visit your property, measure the space, discuss your vision, and explain any site challenges.
We’ll provide a detailed estimate that breaks down costs by category: framing, decking, railing, stairs, permits, labor. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for.
If you decide to move forward, we’ll finalize the design, pull permits, and schedule your project. Most decks take 2 to 4 weeks to build once we start, depending on size and complexity.
