Questions

Frequently asked

Not seeing yours? Get in touch.

When can you build in Minnesota?
We build outdoor structures roughly April through November. We schedule pier work early and often start framing as soon as the frost is out.
Cedar or composite decking?
Composite is nearly maintenance-free and holds up beautifully. Cedar has a classic look but needs periodic sealing. We'll walk through both.
Do you handle permits for covered structures?
Yes. Any covered outdoor structure requires a permit — we handle drawings, submittals, and inspections.
