We start with your goals, the deck’s intended use and your home’s layout. We’ll discuss stairs, landings, railing, framing and design features such as outdoor spiral staircases when they fit the project.

Some Prior Lake homeowners want a full-service deck installation. Others prefer to handle selected stages themselves. Our DIY deck program offers materials, permit-ready drawings and coaching, with optional professional help for footings, ledger attachment or framing.
If your existing deck is structurally sound, a facelift may be an option for replacing decking or railing without rebuilding the entire structure. We’ll help determine which approach makes sense for your deck, your budget and your timeline.
Many new decks and structural alterations require a building permit. The applicable rules and review process depend on the project’s scope and location. Check with the City of Prior Lake’s building department before starting work. For lake-area properties, additional zoning or setback considerations may apply.
Think about the view, sun exposure, privacy, yard slope and how you’ll move between the house, deck and lawn. For lakeside or sloped properties, stair layout and railing style can be particularly important. The site may also affect setbacks, drainage and foundation design, so confirm requirements before construction.
Composite and PVC decking are popular choices because they don’t require the routine staining associated with many wood decks. Different product lines vary in price, appearance, heat retention, slip resistance and care instructions. We’ll help you compare Trex, TimberTech, Deckorators and compatible railing options for your project.
Footing depth and design must meet applicable frost-protection and structural requirements. The correct approach depends on the approved plans, site conditions and local code. Confirm the details with the City of Prior Lake before excavation rather than relying on a single depth for every property.
Cost depends on deck size, elevation, framing, stairs, railing, materials and site access. A deck facelift may cost differently from a complete rebuild if the existing structure is suitable for reuse. Explore options with our deck materials estimator, then request a project-specific quote.
Yes. Our DIY deck program combines materials, planning resources and coaching, with optional help for specific construction stages. It’s a way to take on the work you’re comfortable doing while getting support for parts of the project that need a professional crew.
