Straight answers about deck quotes, costs, permits, and materials for Central Wisconsin homeowners.
We make it simple. You fill out a quick form telling us about your deck project: size, materials, timeline, budget. We reach out to set up a free on-site walk-through, usually within one business day. Our licensed and insured local crew measures, talks through options, and gives you a clear, itemized estimate. The walk-through and estimate are free, and there's never any obligation to move forward.
Yes — 100% free. There's no charge to submit a request, no hidden fees, and no cost if you decide not to move forward. We believe you should be able to get pricing information without opening your wallet.
Most homeowners hear from us within one business day. We reach out to book your walk-through as soon as we see your request, because we know waiting on a callback is the worst part of hiring anyone.
Your deck is built by our own crew: experienced local builders who work under the Central Wisconsin Deck Builders name. We are a licensed Wisconsin Dwelling Contractor (DSPS No. 5092), fully insured (general liability), and we build to Wisconsin code, handling your project from walk-through to final board. You are not being passed off to a stranger from a directory.
We currently serve homeowners in Wausau (including Rib Mountain), Schofield, Weston, Mosinee, and Merrill. We're expanding into additional Central Wisconsin communities soon.
We handle new deck construction, multi-level and wraparound decks, composite and PVC decking, pressure-treated wood decks, cedar and hardwood decks, deck repairs and board replacement, deck resurfacing and refinishing, screened porches, pergolas, and railing and stair upgrades.
Costs vary by size, materials, and design. Rough ranges for the Wausau area: basic pressure-treated deck (12x16) $4,000–$8,000; composite deck (12x16) $8,000–$15,000; multi-level or custom design $15,000–$30,000+; deck repair or resurfacing $1,500–$5,000. The best way to get an accurate number is to request a free quote.
In most cases, yes. Wisconsin municipalities generally require a building permit for new deck construction and significant structural modifications. The good news: we handle the permit application as part of the project.
Common options include: pressure-treated lumber (most affordable), composite decking like Trex or TimberTech (low-maintenance, long-lasting), PVC decking (fully synthetic, extremely low maintenance), cedar (naturally rot-resistant, classic look), and hardwoods like ipe (premium durability). At your walk-through we'll recommend the best fit for your budget and preferences.
That's completely fine. Many homeowners use our service to get a ballpark quote before making any decisions. There's no obligation to hire anyone, and we'll never pressure you.
We do the work with our own local crew. The people who walk your project and write your estimate are the people who build your deck. You always know exactly who is on your job.
Your contact and project details are used by our team to plan and build your deck. We do not sell your information to marketing lists, spam databases, or unrelated third parties.
