Built Right. Built to Last.

Composite and Wood Decking Options for Every Home

Not all decks are built the same—and choosing the right material is a big part of building one that lasts. We offer both wood and composite decking options, allowing you to select the perfect balance of style, durability, and budget.

Wood decks offer timeless beauty and a traditional natural finish. They are customizable, affordable, and ideal for homeowners who love the classic look of real timber. Our team uses high-quality treated lumber designed to last and withstand the changing Northwest Indiana weather.

Composite  Decking

Composite decking is extremely durable, low-maintenance, and resistant to rot, pests, and fading. It’s a popular choice for homeowners who want a long-lasting deck with minimal upkeep. Composite materials come in a wide range of colors and textures, providing a clean, modern appearance.
