4 Steps to Build a Custom Deck

An outdoor deck is an excellent way to elevate your backyard space and enhance the exterior of your home. A deck allows you to spend more time outside, enjoy your yard, and entertain family and friends. One of the best ways to get a yard you’ll love is to have a custom deck designed and installed.

At Roofers of Minnesota, we provide custom deck installation services that ensure you get the deck you love and that you’ll enjoy for years to come.

If you're planning or considering having a custom deck installed, you may have questions about what the process looks like. In this guide, we’ll go over the basics of our custom deck installation process and also give you a few tips on preparing your property.

Step 1: Dig Post Holes

After planning and designing your custom deck, we build the post holes around the perimeter. This step ensures that the deck will be secure and offer great stability, giving you a great-looking deck for many years to come.

Step 2: Concrete Pouring and Post Anchors

Next, we will pour concrete and add the post anchors. Because installing a deck involves a mix of skills, including working with materials like wood and concrete, partnering with a professional is the best way to ensure a high-quality deck.

Step 3: Attach Posts and Frame the Deck

Then, we will finish affixing the posts so they are secure in the concrete. During this step, we will start with the framing process. This is when the support beams and basic layout of the deck are put together.

Step 4: Build The Rest of The Deck

Once the beams are secured and the frame is in place, it’s time to finish building the deck. Our experienced deck contractors ensure every beam and fastener is high-quality and secure.

How To Prepare Your Property For A Custom Deck

Before our exterior contractors arrive to install your custom deck, you can prepare your property by doing the following:

• Clearing a path to the backyard

• Ensuring your yard is clear of obstacles or excess debris

• Cleaning up any yard debris around where the deck will be installed
