In Columbia, decks have to handle humidity, summer sun, and zoning requirements. We design and build structures that meet local codes, hold up to Missouri’s changing seasons, and work well with HOA restrictions. From Lake of the Woods to Thornbrook, we build with care and precision.

How Can We Help?
We don’t just build decks—we create spaces that fit your home, lot, and lifestyle. Whether you need wide stairs for access, screened areas for bugs, or shade for hot summers, we’ll design a layout that works. Every detail is chosen for durability, safety, and ease of use.

Permits and HOA approvals handled start to finish

We’ve built decks across Columbia’s neighborhoods—from steep lake lots in Old Hawthorne to HOA-governed subdivisions like Cascades and Steeplechase. We understand what it takes to meet code, pass inspections, and create structures that feel like they belong with your home and surroundings.

A good deck starts with the right foundation. We build using ACQ-treated lumber or steel framing depending on your soil and slope. Our footings are deep, secure, and spaced to resist shifting. Every beam, post, and joist is set for strength, drainage, and long-term durability.
We build with materials we know will last in Columbia’s four-season climate. Composite options like Trex and TimberTech offer long-term durability with less upkeep. Prefer natural wood? We source kiln-dried cedar and pressure-treated lumber, sealed to resist rot, mold, and UV damage.


Old Hawthorne: This upscale golf community has larger homes and spacious lots—perfect for multi-level decks, grilling areas, and screened-in porches with scenic views.

The Cascades: Known for modern homes and HOA standards, Cascades homeowners often choose composite decks with matching railings and low-maintenance materials.

Rock Bridge: Popular with families, Rock Bridge lots often include shady backyards—ideal for pergolas, covered decks, and custom railing features.
