Do I need a permit to build a deck?
Minneapolis Decks will handle everything required ahead of time to comply with city and county permits, making the process as stress-free as possible for you.

Do you provide a rendering of the project ahead of time?
Yes, you can expect several 3-D wireframes of the project utilizing exterior images of your home. This helps our customers narrow down selections and truly envision what the project will look like on their exact home ahead of time.

How long will it take to build my deck?
After selecting your material, sizing, coloring, landing and other features desired for your new deck, you can expect the building process to take between 2-4 weeks. For larger projects that include porches and roofing, it can take around 4-6 weeks, depending on the weather.

What kind of maintenance will I need to do on my deck?
Selecting a maintenance-free material will allow you to enjoy your deck for 25-30 years with very minimal upkeep. For other materials, it is recommended to periodically wash your deck to avoid debris build up that may cause decay. We also recommend applying a sealant every 1-3 years depending on sun exposure and weather conditions.

You can be confident in long-lasting, high-quality results from Minneapolis Decks. For the first year after completing the project, we offer a full-service warranty on any repairs or adjustments needed. Just give us a call and we will be there. We also provide a 5-year craftsmanship warranty and a 10-year structural warranty

Will a new deck add value to my home?
A new deck or porch is one of the most valuable additions that you can invest in. Not only does it increase the amount of livable space in your home, but experts say that a deck addition provides a 68% - 78% resale value.
