Design & Quote

We sketch options, discuss materials and layout, then provide a clear quote with no hidden costs or surprises.

Build & Inspect

We set footings, frame the deck, install boards, and add railings. You'll see steady progress—and know the timeline.

Walkthrough & Cleanup

Final inspection, touch-ups if needed, debris cleanup, and your new deck is ready for family time and entertaining.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Our Services

We specialize in decks, fences, and concrete patios across Des Moines and the surrounding areas.

Residential Decks

A deck adds real outdoor living space to your Des Moines home. Composite, cedar, or pressure-treated—we build to match your style and budget. Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles and humidity are handled by proper footings and maintenance-friendly design.

Perfect for family gatherings, quiet evenings, or entertaining neighbors on weekends.

Fences define property lines, create privacy, and keep pets safe. We build cedar, vinyl, and composite fences that handle Des Moines winters and summers.

From classic wooden privacy to modern slatted screens, we match your home's style and your yard's needs.

Concrete Patios & Hardscape

Stamped and poured concrete creates durable outdoor surfaces for grilling, dining, or just sitting. Proper grading and air-entrained mix handle Iowa's freeze-thaw stress.

We seal and finish for longevity—many Ankeny patios we built 10+ years ago are still holding strong.

Why It Matters

A well-built outdoor space pays for itself in years of use and boosts your home's appeal.

Built for Iowa Weather

Des Moines sees real temperature swings and moisture. We build with materials and techniques proven in this climate.

Proper drainage, air-entrained concrete, and quality fasteners mean your deck or patio won't buckle or crack after one harsh winter.

Safety & Code Compliance

We pull permits and build to Des Moines code. Proper railing height, load capacity, and fastening mean your deck is safe for years.

No shortcuts, no inspection failures—just solid work that protects your family and your investment.

Years of Use, Low Maintenance

Our decks are built to last 20+ years with basic care. We recommend finishes and designs that age gracefully.

Composite and sealed concrete reduce staining, rot, and repair calls—letting you enjoy your outdoor space instead of maintaining it.

Serving Des Moines and Surrounding Areas

Local Knowledge, Local Trust

We know Des Moines yards—the clay soil, the drainage challenges, the seasonal patterns. We're familiar with local permit requirements and inspectors.

Many of our customers have referred neighbors and friends. We show up, do the work right, and stay available for questions.

Common Questions About Decks in Des Moines

Answers to help you move forward with confidence.

How long does a deck last in Des Moines?

A properly built and maintained deck lasts 20–25 years or longer. Composite and sealed wood handle freeze-thaw cycles better than untreated wood.

Do I need a permit for a deck in Des Moines?

Yes. We pull permits as part of our service. Permits ensure your deck meets code and protects your home's safety and resale value.

What's the difference between composite and wood decking?

Composite needs less maintenance and resists fading and rot. Wood costs less upfront but needs periodic staining or sealing. Both work well in Des Moines with proper installation.

How soon can we use the deck after it's built?

You can walk on it the same day. If we apply stain or sealer, it typically needs 24–48 hours to fully cure before heavy use or rain.

Can you help with deck design and layout?

Absolutely. We visit your yard, talk through your needs, and sketch options before you commit. Design is part of the quote process.
