Yes. The City of Wausau requires a building permit for most decks over 200 square feet or more than 30 inches above grade. Permits also apply to decks attached to the home. Our contractors are familiar with Marathon County and Wausau permit requirements and handle the process for you.
Most residential decks in Wausau take 3–7 days to build once materials are on-site and permits are approved. Permit approval typically takes 1–2 weeks. Larger or more complex projects may take longer. Timing also depends on contractor availability and the Wisconsin building season — most deck projects run May through October.
Composite decking (such as Trex or TimberTech) is the top choice for Wisconsin's freeze-thaw cycles — it won't warp, rot, or splinter and requires minimal maintenance. Pressure-treated lumber is a durable, cost-effective option when properly sealed and maintained. Cedar is a popular mid-range choice. Our contractors will walk you through the tradeoffs for your budget and usage.
We serve Wausau and the surrounding Marathon County area including Schofield, Weston, Rothschild, Rib Mountain, Mosinee, and Merrill. If you're unsure whether your address is in our coverage area, submit a quote request and we'll confirm within 48 hours.
