Wayzata, Minnesota

Outdoor spaces that match the view.

Lake Minnetonka homes deserve more than a standard build. We design and craft custom decks, porches, and pergolas across Wayzata — from lakefront tiered decks with cable railing to private courtyard pergolas tucked into Old Wayzata's quieter streets.

Our team is based just minutes away in Plymouth, and our billing office sits right on East Wayzata Boulevard. That proximity means faster site visits, sharper response times, and a level of local familiarity you simply can't get from a crew driving in from across the metro.

We know Wayzata's permit office, lakeshore setbacks, and the design language of the neighborhoods we work in. Premium materials, transparent process, no shortcuts.

FAQ

Common questions from Wayzata homeowners.

How much does a custom deck cost in Wayzata?

Most of our Wayzata projects fall between $35,000 and $120,000, depending on size, material, railing system, and add-ons like lighting, pergolas, or built-in seating. We provide a detailed written estimate after a free on-site consultation — no surprises later.

Do I need a permit for a deck in Wayzata?

Yes — Wayzata requires a building permit for decks attached to the home or above a certain height. We pull the permit and handle inspections as part of every project so you never deal with the city directly.

Do you build on Lake Minnetonka shoreline?

Yes. We're familiar with shoreline setbacks, DNR requirements, and the permit process for lakeside builds. We've completed projects across many of the lake's communities.

How long does the build take?

From signed contract to completion, most projects take 4–8 weeks — including design finalization, permits, material lead times, and build. Larger projects with porches, pergolas, or outdoor kitchens may run longer. We give you a realistic timeline up front.

What's the difference between composite, cedar, and hardwood?

Composite (Trex, TimberTech) offers the longest warranty and lowest maintenance. Cedar is a classic natural look at a lower price point, with periodic sealing required. Exotic hardwoods like ipe offer premium aesthetics with regular oiling. We walk you through each during design.
