Deck builders in Menomonie

Rental decks
With a university in town, plenty of Menomonie houses are rentals, and their decks see heavy use. Landlords commonly call about loose guards, tired stairs and boards that have split. Railings matter most here: Wisconsin's deck code sets a 36-inch minimum guard height and requires guards wherever a deck is more than 24 inches off the ground.
Near the water
Lots that slope toward the lake or river can be damp, and shaded decks there tend to grow mildew and rot faster. Good drainage around footings, airflow under the deck and decay-resistant framing help.
Permits
Menomonie and the surrounding Dunn County towns each have their own permit process. The builder should confirm which office covers your address.
