Decking & Deck Boards

Maintenence Free Decking

We design and build low maintenance decks using materials that are made to handle Minnesota weather without the constant upkeep of wood.

 

Start With the Right Decking Material

When we meet with homeowners, the first thing we focus on is the decking material. That decision affects how your deck looks, how much maintenance you deal with, and how long it will last.

If you’ve been searching for the best decking material in Minnesota or comparing composite vs wood decking, this is where we’ll help you make sense of it.

Let’s walk through the three main options.

PVC Decking Guide

TimberTech Advanced PVC Decking

TimberTech Advanced PVC is the premium choice for homeowners who want a long-lasting, low-maintenance deck that can handle Minnesota weather. 

Unlike traditional wood decking, PVC boards are made without wood fibers. That makes PVC decking a strong option for Minnesota homes dealing with snow, rain, freeze/thaw cycles, and heavy seasonal use.

Why choose PVC decking for your next project?

  • Maximum durability – Longest lasting decking on the market
  • Moisture and stain resistant
  • Virtually maintenance free
  • Built for long-term performance

TimberTech Composite Decking

Composite decking gives homeowners the look of real wood without the constant sanding, staining, and upkeep that comes with a traditional wood deck.

It’s one of the most popular decking options we install across Elk River, Plymouth, Saint Michael, Maple Grove, and surrounding Minnesota communities because it balances appearance, durability, and value really well.

Why Minnesota homeowners choose composite decking?

  • Low-Maintenance decking option
  • Realistic woodgrain finishes
  • Built for everyday use
  • Great Balance of value and performance

KDAT Lumber Decking

Traditional Wood Decking (KDAT Lumber)

KDAT lumber remains a popular choice for homeowners looking for the natural beauty and warmth of real wood decking at a lower upfront investment.

Unlike standard treated lumber, KDAT (Kiln Dried After Treatment) is dried after the treatment process to help reduce warping, twisting, shrinking, and cracking over time.

It’s a great option for homeowners who want a classic wood deck with improved long-term stability and performance. We have been installing premium wood decking for over 20 years in Minnesota and it still is a viable option to this day. 

Why Minnesota homeowners choose KDAT wood decking?

  • Low cost & natural beauty 
  • More stable than traditional treated lumber
  • Can be stained or sealed in multiple colors
  • Great Balance of value and performance
