The Build
Every deck we build starts with footings set below Minnesota’s 42-inch frost line. From there, pressure-treated framing goes up level and square, with corrosion-resistant hardware at every connection. Decking boards are gapped properly for drainage and seasonal expansion — details that matter when your deck sees snow from October through April.
The finished deck provides a clean, functional outdoor space that’s built to handle everything Northern Minnesota throws at it.
Materials & Approach
- Footings: Concrete piers below 42″ frost line
