You will have a single point of contact from your first design meeting through the final walkthrough, which keeps communication clear and timelines on track.
Frequently Asked Questions About Deck and Patio Installation
How much does it cost to build a deck in Minnesota?
Deck costs vary based on size, materials, and design complexity, but most residential decks fall somewhere between $15,000 and $40,000 or more for custom builds. Why Keep The Faith Contracting provides project-specific pricing during a consultation.
Do I need a permit to build a deck or patio?
Most decks require a building permit, particularly those attached to a home or built above a certain height. We handle the permitting process on your behalf so the project stays code-compliant from day one.
How long does deck or patio installation take?
The timeline depends on the scope of the project, but most residential decks take one to three weeks from start to finish once materials are on site. We'll give you a realistic schedule before work begins.
What materials do you recommend for Minnesota's climate?
Composite decking and pressure-treated lumber are both popular choices for Minnesota because they hold up well against freeze-thaw cycles and moisture. We'll walk you through the pros and cons of each during your consultation.
