Custom Decks & Outdoor Living for Royal Oak Homeowners
Royal Oak's vibrant downtown and walkable neighborhoods make it one of Metro Detroit's hottest housing markets, with charming 1920s through 1950s bungalows, Cape Cods, and Tudor-style homes lining its tree-shaded streets. JD Contracting LLC helps Royal Oak homeowners bring these classic homes into the modern era with updated kitchens, opened-up floor plans, and finished basements perfect for entertaining. We understand the unique challenges of working with older construction, from plaster walls to original hardwood floors, and we deliver renovations that honor each home's character while adding contemporary comfort.
Michigan's climate is hard on outdoor structures. A deck that isn't built with proper frost-depth footings and the right fasteners won't last. We build decks the right way from the ground up — Trex, TimberTech, pressure-treated, or cedar, with the structural connections and drainage details that actually matter in this climate. We also do screened porches, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and paver patios. Everything gets permitted and inspected. We've built a lot of outdoor spaces in Oakland County and we know what stands up and what doesn't.

Custom Decks & Outdoor Living in Royal Oak: Common Questions
We build single-level decks, multi-tier decks, screened porches, covered pavilions, and custom outdoor entertainment areas using pressure-treated lumber, cedar, or composites like Trex and TimberTech.
Multi-tier deck costs in Southeast Michigan typically range from $25,000 to $70,000 or more depending on size, materials, and features. Composite costs more upfront but requires far less maintenance. Actual costs vary. Contact JD Contracting for a free in-home estimate.
