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 review your request and match you with a vetted, licensed contractor in your area. The contractor reaches out to discuss your project and provide a detailed quote. The whole process is free for homeowners, 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 a contractor within 24 hours. Many get a response the same day. Response times depend on the contractor's schedule, but we prioritize fast turnaround because we know waiting is frustrating.
Every contractor goes through a vetting process before they're approved. We verify: active Wisconsin contractor license, general liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, track record of residential deck projects in Central Wisconsin, and customer references. If a contractor doesn't meet our standards, they don't join the network.
We currently serve homeowners in Wausau (including Rib Mountain), Schofield, Weston, Mosinee, and Merrill. We're expanding into additional Central Wisconsin communities soon.
Our contractors 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: your contractor typically handles 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). Your contractor can 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 match you with the contractor who's the best fit based on location, availability, and specialization. As our network grows, you may have the option to receive quotes from multiple builders and choose the one you prefer.
Your contact and project details are shared only with the vetted contractor(s) matched to your project. We do not sell your information to marketing lists, spam databases, or unrelated third parties.
