Our Madison Deck Builder Reviews
We love our new deck space, the wired railing, the built in water drainage and the no maintenance flooring. The screened in porch is very spacious and comfortable. We are happy with the results. We are sure we will enjoy the deck and porch for many years to come.
We absolutely love our beautiful new deck built by 3rd Gen! We’d like to recognize the excellent work and craftsmanship done by Watou, John and Jarrett. We couldn’t be more pleased with their quality work and attention to detail. Everything was so well coordinated from start to finish. Thank you, Autumn!
We had 3rd Gen build our second story deck this year (& demo our old one) and couldn’t be happier with the result. The process and communication was clear start to finish, & the deck was done in ~3 weeks. It’s one of our favorite parts of our home, enjoyed by humans and cats alike!
We Use Eco-Friendly Composite Deck Material
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

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?
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.
Reach out for a free estimate and we’d be happy to answer this question for your home specifically!
