Deck Framing in Andover, MN

A deck is only as strong as its frame, which is why deck framing in Andover, MN from WJC Decks & Remodeling is engineered to carry the load and outlast the surface above it. A licensed contractor and TimberTech Gold Pro and NADRA member, the company has completed over 600 deck projects across Anoka County since 2016. Each frame is built to load ratings and code with pressure-treated wood, aluminum, or engineered PWT LVL, set on helical or diamond pier footings, with posts, beams, joists, and ledger connections fastened to spec. A structural 3D model confirms post and beam placement before construction, and every frame is inspected before decking, railings, and finishes go on top.

Our Services

Structural Deck Design

Our designers plan framing that meets load ratings, code requirements, and your finished deck vision. You see a clear structural layout before a single post goes in the ground.

Deck Framing Installation

Our crews handle deck framing installation from permit acquisition through final inspection. We also build 3D deck models so you can review framing layouts and elevations before construction begins.

Deck Construction and Framing

Strong framing is the heart of every build we tackle. We frame with wood, aluminum, and PWT (Pressure Treated LVL) using trusted brands like ProWood pressure treated, TimberTech Aluminum, Standard Pressure Treated Lumber, and PWT Lumber premium wood treated.

Deck Repair and Replacement

Old framing can weaken long before boards show the damage. We offer deck inspection, deck resurfacing, deck addition, and full deck remodeling so your structure matches the quality of your finished surface.

Deck Footing and Skirting

Rock-solid footings keep framing true for decades. Footing options include helical piers (Helico) and diamond piers, and skirting choices include lattice skirting, solid wood panels, horizontal or vertical boards, stone or brick skirting, and composite deck skirting.

Deck Railing and Lighting

Framing also supports every railing post and lighting fixture. We handle railing installation and deck rerail projects using composite railings, glass railings, aluminum, and cable railing from TimberTech, Westbury, and Hideaway, plus deck lighting design consultation and installation with post cap, rail lights, and step lights from TimberTech and Westbury.

Underdeck Systems

Proper framing creates the clean runs underdeck systems need. We install Trex RainEscape and Zip-Up deck drainage systems, then add storage solutions or pergolas to finish the space.

Deck Styles We Frame

Platform and Raised Decks

Platform decks need tight joist spacing and level ledger board attachment. Raised decks require taller posts, lateral bracing, and reinforced stair stringers.

Multi-level and Freestanding Decks

Multi-level builds call for careful transitions between elevations and shared beams. Freestanding decks rely on independent footings and fully self-supporting framing.

Curved and Cantilevered Decks

Curved decks demand custom-cut joists and blocking to hold the shape. Cantilevered sections require engineered overhangs and reinforced connections to stay safe.

Rooftop and Pool / Spa Decks

Rooftop framing must distribute load across the structure without compromising the roof. Pool and spa decks need moisture-resistant fasteners and joist spacing built for wet use.

Covered and Screened Decks

Covered decks carry the weight of roof structures and require upgraded posts and beams. Screened builds need framing that anchors wall studs and door hardware cleanly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. WJC did an amazing job on our deck! Phil was fantastic! He knew we needed more than just a deck and had landscape company with him on the initial walk. Then he worked along side of them to make sure the whole project turned out on time and within budget! We couldn't be happier! Our deck is the showcase of the neighborhood with the lights on the railings! Thank you so much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently replaced our older wood deck with a larger composite deck and couldn't be happier with the results. Phil and the team at WJC Remodeling did an outstanding job transforming our backyard into a beautiful, high-end outdoor space that our family will enjoy.

We received multiple quotes from other builders, and Phil stood out because he helped guide us through the entire process and make the right decisions for our budget without sacrificing quality or design. What impressed us most was the attention to detail and the level of craftsmanship throughout the project. The finished deck looks incredible, and Phil and his team take pride in their work.

The project completely transformed our backyard and gave us a space that feels like an extension of our home. If you're looking for a contractor who delivers high-quality work and truly cares about the finished product, I highly recommend Phil and WJC Remodeling.

For anyone considering a similar project, we chose TimberTech Antique Leather for the main decking with TimberTech Dark Roast as the border. We also added the lighting package and drink rail, which were absolutely worth the upgrade and really elevate the finished look.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. WJC Remodeling did a great job on our deck. Phil, the owner, was honest, kind, and meticulous. He gave us fair pricing with everything we asked for in the price quote, which I appreciated. Other companies gave us the base price for the deck and then sent us the add-ons separately. I wanted to know, bottom-line, what is this going to cost. His guys did a great job building our deck-they were quick, professional, and cleaned up their mess each night and when they were all done. Then Phil came out to inspect everything once it was done and sign off.
