DECK DESIGN
When designing an exterior deck on your home, you will need to factor in a few things: the sun's path, the wind, your home's architecture, and the materials you will use.First, you will want to orient your deck so that it can take advantage of the sun's path. The south side of your home is generally the best place for a deck, as it will get the most sun. If you are building a deck on the east or west side of your home, make sure to orient it so that it will get the most sun during the morning or evening, respectively. You will also want to consider the wind when designing your deck. If you live in a windy area, you will want to make sure to orient your deck so that the wind won't blow you or your furniture off of it. You will also want to take your home's architecture into account when designing your deck. If your home has a porch or roof, you will want to make sure that your deck doesn't block the view or clash with the architecture. Finally, you will need to decide what materials you want to use for your deck. Is your deck to have access to the yard? Will there be a spa or hot tub that will require reinforcement for the weight? You also need to consider care and maintenance time and costs.
MATERIALS
Regardless if you use ageless materials like stone or wooden, the materials of your deck design can make all the difference! Sleek and modern or warm and cabin-esque. Work with our team to help you choose the ultimate materials so that your home's deck is your private oasis.
FINISHING
Your deck finishes can make a statement or be subtle design additions. Minnesota has some harsh winters and harsh summers, so designing your deck for longevity is key.
Helical Piers
Helical piers, also known as anchors, piles or screwpiles, are deep foundation solutions used to secure new or repair existing foundations. Due to their design and ease to install, they are most commonly used whenever soil conditions prevent standard foundation solutions. Instead of requiring large excavation work, they thread into the ground. This minimizes installation time, requires little soil disturbance, and most importantly transfers the weight of the structure to load bearing soil.
