Tell us what you need and we will connect you with a licensed deck builder who works in Grand Rapids and across Kent County. A builder calls back, visits the yard and writes up the quote.
We are a lead referral service, not a contractor. Free, no-obligation quotes.
Any of these is quoted in writing once a builder has seen the yard.
Pressure-treated pine, cedar or hardwood, built to your layout.
Composite and PVC boards from Trex, TimberTech, AZEK and others, with railing to match.
A roof and screens over the deck, or windows for a three-season room.
New boards and railing on a frame that is still sound.
Loose railings, rotten boards, tired joists and failing stairs put right.
The part of a deck that decides how long it lasts is the part you do not see. Footings set below the frost line, a ledger board flashed where it meets the house, and joists sized for their span carry the structure; the decking on top sets the look and the upkeep.
Grand Rapids requires a building permit for any deck attached to or next to a house, and for a freestanding deck of 200 square feet or more. The city's deck permit guide calls for footings with at least 42 inches of ground cover under Michigan's residential code, a footing inspection after the holes are dug and before concrete is poured, and a final inspection. A contractor who pulls the permit must be licensed by the state and registered with the city.
Call or send the form with a line about the deck. Photos of the yard help.
A licensed deck builder who works locally calls back, usually the same day, with the questions a quote needs.
They look at the yard and the house, then write down the scope, materials and warranty before anything is agreed.
You are under no obligation. Compare it with other quotes and choose the builder you trust.
