Your Experienced & Preferred Minneapolis Deck Contractor

A deck is where you grill with neighbors and relax with family. It should be the treasured zone in your backyard. At A to Z Construction, we don't treat you like a number in a corporate database. As a local deck contractor, we focus on building high-profit value decks for your home through efficient labor and premium materials.

We are honest deck contractors. If your existing frame is rotting and a simple board replacement won't be safe, we’ll tell you exactly why. Our goal is to get in, build a rock-solid structure, and leave you with a space you’ll love for decades.

Deck Material Expertise: Wood vs. Composite

Choosing the right material is the biggest decision in any deck project. A to Z Construction takes the time to listen to your wants with a new deck and helps you weigh the pros and cons based on your lifestyle in the Twin Cities. Our team has been building custom decks for clients for over 20 years, so there isn’t a job too big or complicated for our team to handle!

Traditional Wood Decks

For many homeowners, nothing beats the natural beauty and initial affordability of a wood deck. We typically use high-grade pressure-treated lumber or cedar. While wood requires regular staining and sealing to combat Minnesota’s snow and humidity, it offers a classic look that fits any neighborhood.

Low-Maintenance Composite Decks

If you’d rather spend your weekends relaxing than staining, we recommend composite decking. As a versatile deck builder, we work with top brands like Trex or TimberTech. Composite materials are splinter-free, resistant to rot and insects, and stay looking brand new for years with just a simple wash.

New Builds vs. Deck Replacement Options

Since 2005, A to Z Construction has been the go-to deck builder for homeowners who want quality without the corporate runaround. We show up when we say we will, we use materials we’d trust on our own homes, and we stay until the job is finished. If you ever have a concern down the road, you know exactly who to call.

Not every project requires a full tear-out. A to Z Construction offers flexible solutions based on the current state of your outdoor space. In our initial free estimate, we’ll cover your options and give you a plan that fits your budget and needs. 

  • Deck Replacement (Re-decking): If your posts and joists are structurally sound but the surface boards are graying and splintered, we can perform a "re-deck." This saves you money while giving you a brand-new surface.
  • New Custom Builds: Looking to change your layout or start from scratch? We handle everything from the initial footings to the final railing installation, ensuring your new deck is perfectly integrated with your home.

FAQs On Deck Projects

How much does a new deck cost in the Twin Cities? 

The cost depends on size and material choice. A basic wood deck might start around $10,000, while larger composite decks with custom railings can range from $20,000 to $40,000+. We provide typed estimates within 48 hours, so you have an honest price upfront.

How long does it take to build a deck? 

Most residential deck replacements or new builds are completed within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the weather and complexity of the design.

Do I need a permit for my deck project? 

Yes, most cities like Maple Grove and Plymouth require a building permit for new decks or structural replacements. We handle the paperwork and coordination with city inspectors to ensure everything is up to code.

Which is better for Minnesota winters: Wood or Composite? 

Composite is the winner for durability. It doesn't expand and contract as much as wood, and it won't rot from sitting under snow piles. However, a well-maintained cedar deck can also withstand our climate for many years.

Can you add a roof or pergola to my existing deck?

Absolutely. We can evaluate your deck's current framing to see if it can support the additional weight of a roof or decorative pergola to provide shade and character.
