Designed for Slopes, Walkouts, and Views

Multi-Level Deck Construction

Tiered Decks for Height, Function, and Flow

Make Every Inch of Your Yard Work

Whether you have a walkout basement or a steep slope, multi-level decks let you reclaim your yard. We design platforms that connect naturally with your home’s exits, then step down to create shaded seating, dining areas, or hot tub landings—without overwhelming your space.

Add Space Without Adding Footprint

Multiple Levels = More Usable Living Area

Multi-level decks maximize your square footage by stacking functional space—like covered patios below, grilling zones above, or stairs that split levels. We handle the structural design, drainage, and traffic flow so every tier adds value and comfort.

Structural Framing You Can Trust

Every post, beam, and ledger in a multi-level deck must meet strict structural standards. We use pressure-treated or steel framing, cross-bracing, and deep footings to handle elevation, weight, and traffic. From the top tier to the ground-level patio, it’s all built to code.

Flow Between Levels Matters

Safe, Comfortable Stairs and Smart Access Points

We design your stairs and entry points to make every level feel connected. No awkward turns or steep steps—just smooth transitions with landings, railings, and logical routes. Whether you’re heading to the grill or the fire pit, movement will feel natural and safe.

Flexible Layouts for Every Home Style

Create Zones for Dining, Relaxing, and More

A multi-level layout means more than height—it means defined areas. Enjoy a sunny upper deck for meals, a shaded lower tier for lounging, or a tucked-away landing for a hot tub or fire bowl. We’ll plan each level for real use—not just looks.

Why Choose a Multi-Level Deck Design

  • Works With Sloped Yards: Tiered platforms solve elevation issues and create functional space.

  • Adds Visual Appeal: Multi-level decks break up large surfaces and add architectural interest.

  • Boosts Resale Value: Professionally built multi-levels make a strong impression on buyers.

  • Custom Layouts for Real Use: Each level is designed for a purpose—dining, relaxing, grilling, or more.

  • Shade + Sun in One Build: Create upper-level views and shaded lower retreats in one project.

Designed With Drainage and Durability in Mind

Stacked structures require smart water control. We install flashings, gutter solutions, and proper board spacing to prevent water buildup and wood rot. Our multi-level decks are built to drain, dry, and perform through Missouri’s wettest seasons.

We Design Around Your Property and Conditions

Built for Missouri Slopes and Weather

We’ve built multi-tier decks on lake houses, walkouts, and steep suburban lots across Missouri. We factor in soil conditions, sun exposure, wind direction, and building code—all before the first post is set. Every level is engineered for safety and built for how you live.

Planning a Multi-Level Deck?

Questions About Structure, Layout,

and Cost

Multi-level decks are one of the most effective ways to increase space and solve slope issues—but they come with extra design and framing considerations. Here are the most common questions we answer for clients during the planning phase.

Is a multi-level deck more expensive than a single-level?

Yes—but it offers more usable space, adds property value, and solves slope or walkout challenges.

Do I need a permit for a multi-level deck in Missouri?

Yes. We handle all structural drawings and submit permits for both levels to ensure full approval.

Can I add a second tier to my existing deck?

Often, yes. We’ll inspect the current frame and create a design that safely integrates a second level.

What’s the best material for multi-level builds?

Composite is great for upper levels. Cedar works well lower where shade reduces UV wear. We’ll guide you.
