When Standard Doesn't Fit Your Life

You’ve looked at basic deck designs and they’re just not right. Maybe your yard is an odd shape. Maybe you want built-in seating around a fire pit. Maybe you need the deck to wrap around that big tree or work with your home’s unique architecture.

Standard rectangular decks work for many homes, but not all. When you need something designed specifically for your space and how you live, we build custom decks that solve your particular challenges.

We handle custom deck projects throughout Ann Arbor—from simple shape modifications to complete outdoor living systems with multiple features.

When You Need Custom

  • Your yard isn’t rectangular. Odd angles, curves, or obstacles need creative solutions.
  • You want built-in features. Benches, planters, pergolas, or fire pit surrounds that integrate with the deck structure.
  • Your house has unique architecture. The deck needs to complement your home’s style instead of looking like an afterthought.
  • You have specific activities in mind. Outdoor kitchen setup, hot tub integration, or entertainment areas that need particular layouts.
  • Standard access doesn’t work. Unusual door placement, multiple entry points, or connection to existing patios.

What We Can Customize

Shape and Layout

L-shapes that wrap around corners. Curves that follow landscaping. Multi-level designs that handle slopes. Hexagonal or octagonal shapes for visual interest.

Railings

Wood for traditional looks. Metal for modern styles. Glass for unobstructed views. Cable systems for clean lines. Composite for low maintenance.

Built-In Features

Bench seating that follows the deck’s perimeter. Planter boxes integrated into railings. Storage areas under seating. Built-in lighting throughout.

Stairs and Access

Wide stairs for gracious entry. Angled stairs that work with your yard layout. Multiple staircases for different access points. Integrated lighting for safety.

Materials and Finishes

Single materials for consistency. Mixed materials for visual contrast. Premium finishes that match your home’s details.

How We Design Your Custom Deck

We Visit Your Home

No guessing about your space or needs. We see your yard, understand your challenges, and listen to your ideas. Sometimes the best solutions emerge from seeing the actual site.

Develop Your Design

We create a plan that addresses your specific situation. You see layout options, material choices, and feature possibilities. We explain what works and what doesn’t, and why.

Handle the Technical Stuff

Custom decks often need engineering calculations and detailed permit drawings. We manage the technical requirements so your creative design meets all safety and code requirements.

Build It Right

Custom work requires experienced builders who pay attention to details. We handle complex angles, integrated features, and precise finishing work.

Out of This World Deck Builders

We build custom decks throughout Michigan. Each one designed for the specific home and family using it.

You get a deck that fits your space, not a standard design forced into your yard. We handle the foundation work, framing, decking, and railings. Everything needed to turn your vision into a finished outdoor space.

We’ve completed over 1,000 deck projects. Each one taught us something about what works and what doesn’t. You benefit from that experience.

We’re insured and stand behind our work. If something isn’t right, we fix it. We don’t consider the job done until you’re happy with the result and your property is clean.

Your deck should work the way you live. We make sure it does.
