A Deck Designed for How You Spend Your Summers

Custom Decks in West Michigan

A great deck extends your living space outdoors and becomes the backdrop for summers full of grilling, gathering, and relaxing. In West Michigan, where we make the most of every warm month, a well-built deck is one of the best ways to enjoy your home. Our BUILDIT team designs and builds custom decks that fit your space and stand up to our seasons.

We serve Grand Haven, Spring Lake, Muskegon, Norton Shores, Fruitport, Ferrysburg, Holland, Allendale, and the surrounding lakeshore communities.

Materials and Options

Choosing the right decking material is one of the most important decisions in your project, and we help you weigh the options honestly:

• Composite decking offers low maintenance, fade resistance, and a long lifespan, ideal if you would rather enjoy your deck than refinish it
• Treated wood provides a classic look and natural feel at a different price point, with regular maintenance to keep it looking its best
• Railings in wood, composite, metal, or cable for the look and view you want
• Features like built-in seating, lighting, multiple levels, and pergolas

Design and Planning

We start with how you want to use your deck and how it connects to your home and yard. Then we plan the structure carefully, from footings and framing to proper drainage and code compliance. The parts you do not see are what keep a deck safe and solid for years, and we never shortcut them.

Built for Our Climate

West Michigan weather is hard on outdoor structures, with freeze-thaw cycles, lake-effect moisture, and heavy snow. We build with that in mind, using proper materials and construction methods so your deck holds up year after year.

Composite or treated wood: which is better?

Both are good choices for different reasons. Composite means less maintenance and a longer lifespan, while treated wood offers a classic look at a different price point. We help you choose based on how you will use and care for your deck.

Do I need a permit for a deck?

In most cases, yes. Decks must meet local codes for safety. As your general contractor, we handle permitting and inspections.

How long will my deck last?

It depends on materials and maintenance. A well-built composite deck can last decades, while treated wood lasts many years with regular upkeep. Proper construction is key, and that is where we focus.

When is the best time to build a deck?

We build throughout the season, and planning ahead helps you be ready to enjoy your deck when the weather is right. Reach out early to get on the schedule.

Is financing available?

Yes. We offer financing through Michigan Saves to help you plan your project.
