Orono properties give us something to work with. Wooded lots, generous setbacks, and miles of Lake Minnetonka shoreline mean the outdoor space can actually be the point of the house — not an afterthought tacked on the back. We design multi-level decks, screened porches, and pergola-covered entertaining areas that take full advantage of the land you bought.
Lakeshore builds come with their own set of rules. Shoreline setbacks, DNR requirements, and Orono's permitting process all factor into the design before a single board is cut. We handle the entire permit and approval flow as part of our process, so the timeline you're quoted is the timeline you get.
Materials matter when the deck has to face a Minnesota winter and a summer of lake spray. We work with premium composites, Trex, TimberTech, and exotic hardwoods like ipe — chosen for the conditions and the long view, not just the showroom photo.

"Very happy indeed! We wanted a deck, 3-season porch, and hot tub. Nick helped flesh them out, suggest great amenities, and create a great 3D rendering. Gabe took over with Dustin's crew. The work crew was conscientious, hard working, and a joy to have around. They overcame challenges in adding to our 70-year-old house."

Yes. Lakeshore projects in Orono are part of our regular work. We're familiar with shoreline setbacks, DNR requirements, and the City of Orono permitting process for lakeside builds. We handle the full permit and approval flow as part of every project.
Yes — multi-level decks and stepped designs are exactly what these lots need. We've built tiered decks, walkout-level porches, and pergola-covered platforms on properties with significant grade changes. The design phase accounts for elevation, drainage, and how the structure integrates with the natural slope.
