Engineered Deck Framing in Andover, MN

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.
