dREamodel designs and builds custom wood and composite decks for homeowners throughout Minnesota’s East Metro and Western Wisconsin. Every project is planned around the home, the property, and the way the finished space will be used.
Whether you are replacing an aging deck or creating a new outdoor space, our team can help you compare layouts, materials, railings, stairs, and finishing details. The result is a custom deck that complements your home and gives you more ways to enjoy your backyard.
A well-designed deck should feel connected to both the home and the yard. It should provide enough room for the activities you enjoy without looking oversized or out of place. dREamodel plans each deck around the property, the home’s architecture, and the homeowner’s priorities.
Our custom deck projects can include composite or wood decking, updated railings, stairs, fascia, lighting, and other features that make the finished space more comfortable and useful. We also help homeowners evaluate an existing deck when they are considering replacement or a significant update.
Homeowners who want to see how a deck can work alongside another exterior addition can also explore our custom porch options.
Building a custom deck involves more than choosing a flooring material or railing style. Every project is made up of structural components, finish materials, and design details that work together to create a safe, attractive outdoor space.
This short overview introduces some of the key elements that go into a custom deck. As you continue down the page, you’ll find more information about each component and the options available for your project.
The footing system supports the deck and helps provide a stable foundation. The right approach depends on the property, deck design, soil conditions, and structural requirements.
The framing creates the structure beneath the visible decking. Material selection and proper layout both play an important role in the strength and performance of the finished deck.
dREamodel helps homeowners compare deck flooring options based on the look they want, the amount of maintenance they prefer, and how they plan to use the deck.
Trim and fascia provide a finished appearance around the deck’s edges and structural components. These details can coordinate with the decking, railing, and home exterior.
Railings contribute to safety while also shaping the overall look of a deck. Homeowners can select a style that complements the decking material and the architecture of the home.
Finishing features can make a deck easier to use, improve visibility, and add function after sunset.
During the planning process, our team helps you compare practical options for your home rather than asking you to sort through every available product on your own.
Composite decking offers a finished look with less recurring maintenance than traditional wood. Available in a range of colors and grain patterns, it can complement many home styles without requiring routine staining or sealing.
dREamodel helps homeowners compare composite products based on appearance, maintenance needs, and how the deck will be used in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin conditions.
Composite decking may be a strong option when you want:
The right material still depends on the project. Our team can help you compare composite products with natural wood before you make a final selection.
Every custom deck starts with quality materials. That’s why dREamodel partners with trusted manufacturers like Westbury, Fortress, TimberTech, Azek, Trex, and Railcraft. During the design process, we’ll help you compare products and select the decking and railing options that best fit your home, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences.
Every deck we build begins with understanding how the homeowner wants to use the space. Whether you are planning an area for entertaining, family time, or quiet evenings outdoors, we create a design that fits your home and property.

A custom deck should feel like a natural extension of your home. Whether you’re hosting summer cookouts, enjoying a quiet morning with coffee, or creating a comfortable place for family gatherings, the right design makes your outdoor space more enjoyable throughout the year.
From deck size and layout to railings, stairs, lighting, and finishing details, every decision should support how you want to use the space. Our goal is to create a custom deck that fits your home, complements your property, and provides a place you’ll enjoy for years to come.
Every custom deck project begins with the home, the property, and the way the homeowner wants to use the space. Our process brings those details together before construction begins.
A thoughtfully designed deck does more than add square footage to your home—it creates a space you’ll use every day. Whether you’re replacing an aging deck or starting with a new design, the right layout and materials can improve how you enjoy your backyard while complementing the style of your home.
From the first design conversation through the completed build, dREamodel focuses on creating custom decks that are practical, attractive, and built around your goals. If you’re ready to begin planning, we’d love to learn more about your project.
