Building a deck shouldn’t be confusing. You don’t need to know how to use a framing square or install flashing tape. What you do need is a builder who shows up with a plan, keeps things clear, and actually understands what makes a deck last in Minnesota. That’s what we do.
At Woodland Decking, we build decks across the Twin Cities that are meant to handle real life: snow, sun, family, foot traffic, dogs, barbecues, thunderstorms, freeze/thaw cycles, and everything in between. Here’s how we take a project from first conversation to final walkthrough, and why every step matters.
Before we talk materials or measurements, we want to understand how you’ll use the space. Is this where your morning coffee will be? A place to host big family cookouts? A shaded zone for a nap and a book? Every deck has a different purpose, and we start by getting a sense of yours.
From there, we’ll bring out samples, wood, composite, aluminum railings, so you can see and touch the materials instead of guessing from a catalog. And if you’re more visual? We use 3D renderings to map out the design and give you a clear picture before anything gets built.
Once we’ve landed on a design, we give you a detailed estimate. No vague ballpark ranges or hidden charges – just a clear, line-by-line proposal with upgrade options and timelines.
We’ll also walk you through financing, if you want it. We offer up to $100,000 in flexible financing, with a quick pre-approval process.
We tie your payments to actual milestones, not just vague dates, so you only pay when things get done. That means more transparency and less anxiety on your end.
If you’ve ever tried navigating a city permit portal, you know it can feel like a black hole. We handle all of it for you. Every deck we build is permitted, inspected, and engineered to meet or exceed your city’s code – because cutting corners isn’t what we do.
Minnesota’s frost depth and snow loads are no joke. If your deck needs custom engineering – say it attaches to a house with engineered trusses, or has long unsupported spans, we bring in a licensed structural engineer to ensure it’s right. The goal is to have zero surprises when the inspector shows up.
Once the structure is done, we shift into finishing mode. That means trim, plugs, smoothing out the edges, the kind of detailing that makes the whole thing feel polished. We clean up daily, sweep for nails with magnets, protect your landscaping, and give everything a wash before we wrap up.
You’ll get photo updates during the build, and a clear punch list if anything needs adjusting.
When we’re done, we walk the project with you. We show you how to care for it, answer your questions, and document anything you’d like us to tweak. Then we give you peace of mind with a 36-month craftsmanship warranty.
If anything we built fails because of workmanship? We fix it. Period.
If you’re ready to turn your yard into a real outdoor space, something you can enjoy for years, with less upkeep and more style we’d love to show you what we can do.
