Mankato Decking FAQs

How long does it typically take to get a building permit for a deck in Mankato, MN?

For a professionally installed deck, Dan and UglyDeck handle the Mankato building permit process for you. If you’re building the deck yourself, UglyDeck can provide the permit-ready deck drawings, and you submit them to the city as the homeowner.

Composite or PVC decking is most often paired with low-maintenance aluminum railing, which offers clean sightlines and doesn’t require painting or staining. UglyDeck offers traditional picket, vertical cable, cable and glass railing.

It is possible to build and install composite decks in the winter. The composite material is resistant to the cold and can be worked with in any weather. These decks do not require staining or sealing, so they can immediately withstand water, snow, ice, and melt.

UglyDeck’s local Mankato deck builder, Dan Hansen, has worked in construction and remodeling since 1996 and has been a licensed residential building contractor since 2004. Dan helps homeowners throughout Mankato and Southern Minnesota with new deck installation, low-maintenance facelifts, composite and PVC decking, and railing upgrades.

If the existing deck frame is structurally sound and the layout still works for your home, a facelift can replace aging wood decking and railing with low-maintenance composite or PVC decking and aluminum railing. If the structure, size or layout no longer fits your needs, a full deck replacement may make more sense. Dan can help Mankato-area homeowners evaluate the existing deck and determine which approach is the better fit.

The cost of a deck in Mankato depends on the size and height of the deck, framing requirements, stairs, and the decking and railing products you choose. A low-maintenance composite or PVC deck will also vary in price based on the materials and features you select. Use our deck cost estimator for a realistic starting point, then talk with Dan about your specific project.

Yes. UglyDeck gives Mankato homeowners the option to take on as much—or as little—of their deck project as they want. You can purchase decking, railing and other materials through us, get professional help with specific parts of the project such as footings, ledger installation or framing, and use our DIY deck program and expert support throughout the build.
