Your deck should feel like part of your home, not something that was added later. At Brewer Built, we build decks that fit the house, the yard, and how you actually use the space. Whether you need a new custom deck, a full replacement, or upgrades to an existing structure, the goal is to build something solid that truly fits your property.
Some homeowners want a larger space for hosting. Others need to replace aging framing, update railings, improve stairs, or switch to lower-maintenance decking materials. Brewer Built builds and upgrades decks for homeowners in Minnetonka, Wayzata, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie, and surrounding Southwest Metro communities.
Every project is different, but most fall into a few core categories. Some are brand new builds, while others involve replacing an aging deck, expanding the layout, or fixing areas that are not working the way they should. We handle everything from full construction to smaller upgrades depending on what your space needs.
Custom deck design for single-level and multi-level layouts built around your home, yard, and how you actually use the space

Real projects built for homeowners across the Southwest Metro
Most deck problems don’t show up right away. They show up later when things start shifting, loosening, or wearing out faster than they should.
After 20+ years building and fixing decks, we know where things go wrong. That’s why we focus on doing it right from the start, so you don’t deal with those problems later.
We don’t just add a deck to your house. We look at how you move through the space, how the yard sits, and how everything connects so it actually feels like it belongs there.
What’s underneath is what determines how a deck holds up. We focus on the framing, support, and structural details so it stays solid over time, not just when it’s first built.
Stairs, railings, and transitions get used every day. We build them so they feel solid, work the way they should, and don’t turn into issues down the road.
We walk you through layout, materials, and what actually makes sense for your space, so you’re not guessing or second-guessing decisions later.
If you're planning a deck project, these are the questions most homeowners ask before getting started. If you don’t see your question here, we’re happy to walk you through it.
Deck cost depends on size, layout, materials, and how the structure is built. Most projects range anywhere from $8,000 to $30,000+ depending on complexity.
A simple wood deck will cost less than a larger composite deck with stairs, railings, and upgrades. The best way to get accurate pricing is to walk the space and talk through what you actually want.
It depends on how it’s built and what materials are used. A properly built deck with good framing and water management can last 20+ years.
Most failures happen underneath. If the framing, footings, or ledger connection are done wrong, problems show up much sooner regardless of the surface material.
Composite decking is low maintenance and lasts longer, while wood decking has a more natural look and lower upfront cost.
The right choice depends on your budget, how much maintenance you want to deal with, and how you use the space. We walk you through both options so you can make the right call.

Yes. Some decks can be repaired or resurfaced, while others need a full rebuild depending on the condition of the structure.
We look at the framing, footings, and connection to the house first. If the structure is solid, resurfacing can make sense. If not, rebuilding is usually the safer long-term option.
Most deck projects take two to four weeks once construction starts, depending on size, design, and weather.
Larger builds with multiple levels, stairs, or custom features take longer, while smaller replacements or upgrades move faster.
In most cases, yes. Deck construction and replacement usually require permits, especially when structural work is involved.
We handle the permitting process and make sure everything is built to code so you don’t have to deal with it yourself.

A well-built deck can improve how your home functions and increase overall appeal.
The biggest value comes from building it the right way so it lasts, feels like part of the home, and doesn’t turn into a problem a few years down the line.
Whether you’re starting fresh or replacing an aging deck, Brewer Built will help you plan it right and get it built. Reach out to talk through your project and next steps.
