Custom Decks & Outdoor Living

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.

Early spring through late fall is ideal. Book your consultation in late winter so permitting and material ordering are complete before building season begins. Actual timelines may vary based on project complexity, permit timelines, material availability, and site conditions.
