      Deck Design and Material Selection

      While our talented deck builders gear up to start your project, our rockstar production coordinator, Autumn, will meet with you to finalize material selection, colors, and fixtures. During this step, we’ll remind you of what you can expect during your deck building project along with project scheduling details.

      This step also includes pulling permits and submitting the plans to our local Madison deck building department.

      When it’s time to start your project, we’ll prep the worksite. More specifically, this includes taking apart existing structures as needed and outlining the new deck area (taking extra care around any underground utilities). Because we use top-quality materials in every step of your deck build, we don’t have to dig massive holes for footings. Using Diamond Piers, we’ll disrupt less of your lawn… and we get to build year-round (even when the ground is frozen)!

      Let’s Build Your Dream Deck in Madison, WI

      This is where we make your dream deck a reality… At the beginning of this step, we’ll set your footings (using Diamond Piers), secure the beams, posts, and joists to build deck framing that lasts.

      Then, we’ll secure the deck floor boards & if we’re using our favorite composite decking material, we will use special hidden fasteners to cover any unsightly screws and give your deck a finished look.

      To make sure your new space is as safe as it is gorgeous, we’ll install any remaining items on your deck building checklist including: railings, stairs, fascia, benches, planters, skirting, lattice, pergolas, & custom lighting.

      Remember how we said we treat our clients the way we want to be treated? That includes picking up our mess. We’ll dispose of all demo materials & recycle excess supplies if possible. If your new deck is dirty from our work boots, we’ll also power wash it so all you have to worry about is what kind of furniture you’re going to put on it!

      If your new structure is made of wood, we can also stain, paint, or seal the deck at this point if it’s ready for coating.

      A final walk-through will be performed with you to ensure you are 100% satisfied with the workmanship of your brand new deck!

      We Use Eco-Friendly Composite Deck Material

      Did you know that our favorite brand of composite decking is made with 60-85% recycled material? In fact, AZEK / TimberTech has prevented 500 million pounds of waste from ending up in landfills.

      Instead, they use things like old PVC pipes, construction debris, & even laundry detergent jugs to create their decking products, which end up outlasting traditional wood decks! If you want to learn more about AZEK’s Full Circle plan, watch the video below…

      3rd Gen is proud to partner with companies like this who are making an effort to create building products that are both sustainable & high-quality.

      Within our own business, we make an effort to build responsibly by:

      • sourcing sustainable decking products (such as AZEK / TimberTech & Trex)
      • minimizing deck board cutoffs & construction waste
      • becoming EPA certified contractors in Wisconsin
      • recycling materials when possible

      Top 3 Composite Decking Materials for Your Madison Home

      If we learned anything from the Three Little Pigs as kids, it's that what you build with matters. The same is true for your deck - especially if you live in a place like Madison, WI where the weather has a flair for the dramatics. In a given year, our temps can swing...

      How long does it take to build a deck?

      Every project is different! Building a small composite deck is much different than building a watertight 4 season room.

      We can finish an average-sized deck with a two-person deck crew in 7-10 business days.

      Once we start a project, we stay on it until completion (except for an occasional inspection delay). Our crews work M-F from roughly 8 am until 4 pm — weather permitting!

      What materials are commonly used for decks in Madison?

      We’re team composite & PVC because it allows for a more finished look, durability, and is most cost effective for our clients in the long run. That said, we’re here to build for your specific situation, vision, and budget. Sometimes that means using pressure treated wood instead!

      Do deck builders in Madison provide warranties for their work?

      Most reputable deck builders in the area will offer some sort of warranty through their business; however, our clients get the very best. Depending on the maintenance free materials you choose, you’ll get anywhere from a 25-50 year product warranty. In addition to that, because we’re TimberTech Platinum Pro builders, our clients get a 7 year labor warranty as well!

      Can I customize the design of my deck?

      Absolutely! Our deck builders are passionate about working with you to create a custom design that works for your lifestyle, budget, and aesthetic preferences. We’re here to serve you – whatever that looks like!

      What is the typical cost range for hiring a deck builder in Madison?

      The cost varies based on factors like deck size, materials used, complexity of design, and labor rates.

      Can deck builders help with deck repairs or renovations?
      Yes, many deck builders offer repair and renovation services to restore and enhance existing decks. They can assess the condition of your deck and provide solutions to address any issues.
      How do I choose the right deck builder in Madison for my project?

      As silly as it may sound, we believe in going with your gut. The people you hire are going to spending a good bit of time around your home and you need to feel comfortable with them.

      In addition to that, make sure they’re insured and send you a clear estimate so you know what to expect.

      Finally, check out their portfolio and Google reviews to verify they do good work and treat their customers well.

      Can you just resurface my deck using composite?

      In some cases, yes. However, during our estimates, our deck experts will assess your deck for structural integrity.

      Depending on when (or how) your deck was built, we may actually have to rebuild to make it structurally sound & satisfy code requirements.

      Additionally, composite decking materials have different framing requirements. So, most of the time, it makes more long-term and financial sense for us to rebuild the deck entirely rather than trying to retro-fit new materials.
