Custom Decks That Fit Your Life — and Your Landscape

Custom Deck Design & Construction Services in Montana

Thoughtful Design Built for Montana Lifestyles

What to Expect from Our Custom Deck Design Process

Every deck starts with a conversation. We begin with an on-site consultation to understand your goals, budget, and property layout. Whether you want a cozy platform deck for morning coffee or a multi-tiered structure with built-in seating and lighting, our team maps out the possibilities. We consider factors like slope, sunlight, drainage, and local zoning codes to ensure every element is safe, functional, and beautiful. Using 3D design software, we preview your deck before any materials are ordered—so you know exactly what you're getting.

Everything Starts With a Smart Layout

What We Consider During Custom Deck Planning

From lot slope to sun exposure, we think through every detail that affects your deck’s performance and comfort. Our custom deck plans are drawn with use, code, and climate in mind not just style.

  • Property size, slope & access points

  • House connection & roof lines

  • Wind exposure, sun & shade patterns

We Build What We Design With No Outsourcing

Deck Design Backed by Engineering Know-How

Montana weather brings extreme temperatures, snow loads, and shifting soils so your deck design needs more than good looks. Our team builds to IRC standards and local code for each county or city. We collaborate with structural engineers when needed to ensure joist spans, footings, and support beams meet or exceed load-bearing specs. If your site requires soil testing or HOA approvals, we handle it. The result: a beautiful deck that’s also structurally sound and built to last.

Material Choices That Fit Montana’s Climate

Composite or Wood? We Help You Decide

Choosing the right material is key to long-term performance. In Montana’s varied climate from snowy Bozeman to sunny Helena we recommend materials based on exposure, maintenance preference, and budget. Composite decking (like Trex or TimberTech) offers low-maintenance durability, while cedar and pressure-treated lumber provide a timeless look with a more natural finish. We walk you through the pros and cons of each, considering aesthetics, lifespan, and how the surface will feel underfoot in different seasons.

That means better drainage, safer footings, and decks that look right at home in the Big Sky landscape.
