Your Minneapolis Deck Builder, Right Here at Home

For Minneapolis, MN's climate, Composite Decking or Pressure-Treated Wood are usually the most solid and reliable decking choices. Composite materials, like Trex Decking or Azek Decking, resist rot, insects, and fading. This means they need less maintenance against the harsh winters and humid summers we have in Minneapolis. Pressure-Treated Lumber is a cost-effective option for Deck Construction in Minneapolis. Pressure-Treated Lumber holds up well, especially when it is regularly sealed. But Pressure-Treated Lumber does require more upkeep to stay looking its best through all the seasons in Minneapolis. Elite Deck Solutions often discusses these decking options with homeowners in Minneapolis. We consider your specific location and how much sun or shade your yard gets for your new deck.

Building a new Deck in Minneapolis usually takes about two to four weeks. This is from when we start building to when the Deck is finished. The exact time depends on how big the Deck is and how complex the Deck design is. This timeline for Deck Construction in Minneapolis includes preparing the site, setting the foundation, doing the framing, installing the Decking, and putting up the Railings. Things like getting city permit approvals can also change the project time. These permit times can vary in different Minneapolis neighborhoods. Weather conditions also influence how long the overall Deck project will take. Elite Deck Solutions always keeps homeowners updated on the progress of their Minneapolis Deck Construction project and any schedule adjustments.

You will almost always need a permit from the City of Minneapolis's Department of Regulatory Services to build a new deck in Minneapolis, MN. This also applies if you plan to significantly change an existing deck in Minneapolis. The permit process makes sure that the deck meets all local building codes for safety and for how strong the deck is built. This is very important in Minneapolis because of our frost lines and specific construction requirements for decks. Elite Deck Solutions handles the permit application process for you. We submit all the necessary plans and documents to the City of Minneapolis. This makes sure everything is approved before we start building your new deck. This is an important step to make sure your deck is safe and built to code in Minneapolis.

The maintenance a deck needs in Minneapolis, MN depends on the deck material it is built from. Wood decks, especially pressure-treated pine decks, should be cleaned, stained, or sealed every 1 to 3 years. This protects the wood deck against moisture, UV damage, and rot. These are common issues for wood decks in Minneapolis because of our freeze-thaw cycles. Composite decks, on the other hand, require less upkeep. Composite deck maintenance usually means a good cleaning with soap and water once or twice a year to remove dirt and mildew from the composite deck. Regardless of the deck material, it is a good idea to inspect the deck annually for loose boards or railings, especially after a tough Minneapolis winter.
