Reach out by phone or through our contact form. We will respond within 1 business day to schedule a free on-site visit. No obligation, no pressure. You describe what you are hoping for, and we ask the questions we need to give you an accurate estimate.
We come to your home, measure the space, walk through design options, and give you a written quote that breaks down labor and materials. Once you approve the design and sign a contract, we handle the permit application with the City of Maplewood - you do not have to manage that process yourself.
Our crew builds to the approved plans. A city inspector checks the framing before decking goes down and does a final review when the project is complete. Once the permit is closed out, we walk you through the finished structure and make sure you know exactly what to expect in the first season.
Maplewood Deck & Fence holds a residential contractor license through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry. We carry liability insurance on every project and can provide both documents before you sign anything.
Every estimate includes an in-person visit, a written breakdown of labor and materials, and a clear project timeline. You will know the full number before anyone picks up a tool - and there is no pressure to commit.

We wanted a composite deck before the Fourth of July and they made it happen. The crew showed up when they said they would, the permit was handled without us lifting a finger, and the deck passed inspection first try. Really glad we called.
Kevin M., Maplewood - Custom deck design and build
Our old wood deck had been shifting for a couple winters and I kept putting off dealing with it. They came out, explained exactly what had failed with the footings, and replaced the whole thing with Trex. No more annual maintenance and it feels completely solid.
Sandra R., Woodbury - Trex deck installation
We asked about adding a privacy fence along the back of the yard and they came out within a few days for the estimate. The installation was clean, the posts are solid, and they cleaned up the site completely when they were done. Exactly what we were hoping for.

(612) 493-3415Maplewood Deck & Fence is based in Maplewood, MN and serves 12 communities across the east metro, including Saint Paul, Woodbury, White Bear Lake, and Shoreview. We offer same-week scheduling for estimates and can typically have a crew on-site within a few weeks of permit approval.
Composite decking handles Minnesota's 100-degree seasonal temperature swings without warping or splintering, while pressure-treated wood needs re-staining every two to three years to resist the same freeze-thaw damage. For homeowners who do not want annual maintenance, composite is the more durable long-term choice in this climate.
A building permit for your deck is not just paperwork - it means a city inspector checks the framing before it is covered, catching problems that would otherwise be buried. An unpermitted deck can surface during a home sale and delay or reduce your sale price. The North American Deck and Railing Association has a helpful overview at{' '} nadra.org on what proper permitting involves.
Maplewood's frost line reaches 42 to 48 inches below the surface in a typical winter. Footings that do not reach that depth will heave and shift over time as the ground freezes and thaws. This is the most common reason older decks tilt or pull away from the house - and the most important question to ask any contractor before they start.
The outdoor construction window in Maplewood runs from late April through October, and the busiest months - May through July - book up fast. If you want your deck done before summer, start getting estimates in February or March. Waiting until May to plan almost always means a late-summer or fall completion.
Maplewood's mature tree canopy means most backyards deal with leaf and debris buildup on deck surfaces, root systems near footing locations, and more shade-related moisture than open suburban lots. Composite decking handles this environment better than wood because mold and staining resistance is built into the material.
A city inspector visits at two key stages: once after the footings are poured and again when the structure is complete. The inspection confirms the footings are deep enough, the framing is sized correctly, and the railings meet height requirements. The{' '} Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry{' '}publishes the residential building standards that govern this work at dli.mn.gov.

Maplewood Deck & Fence is a licensed and insured deck builder and fence contractor based in Maplewood, MN, serving 12 communities across the east metro since 2019.
We hold a residential contractor license through the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, which is the state authority that oversees residential construction in Minnesota. Every project we take on is permitted, inspected, and built to the standards that license requires.
Since 2019, we have completed projects across all 16 services we offer - from simple pressure-treated decks to multi-level composite builds with pergolas and outdoor kitchens. Every one went through the city permit and inspection process.
If the footings have heaved, the posts have rotted at the base, or the ledger board has pulled away from the house, repairs are usually a short-term fix for a structural problem. A full replacement built to current code gives you a fresh start with proper footings.
Ask your contractor to show you the permit after it is approved and posted at your job site. In Minnesota, any licensed residential contractor can pull permits on your behalf. If they suggest you pull it yourself, that is a red flag worth paying attention to.
Clean your wood deck in spring to remove winter debris, then inspect it for soft spots or loose fasteners. Re-seal or re-stain every two to three years, ideally in late spring after the wood has dried out. Pressure-treated wood needs 30 to 60 days after installation before the first coat takes properly.
The American Wood Council publishes the residential wood deck construction guide that many local building departments - including Maplewood - use as a reference for framing and footing requirements. Call us if you have questions about what your specific project requires.
Maplewood is a city of about 42,000 people in Ramsey County, sitting directly east of St. Paul. Most of the housing stock was built between the 1950s and 1980s - which means a lot of homes are 40 to 70 years old and have back yards that were never developed for real outdoor living. Ranches and split-levels are the most common styles, many with back doors that open two to six feet above the yard - exactly the kind of layout where a deck makes the most practical sense.
We work on homes all across the city - from neighborhoods near Maplewood Mall and the commercial corridors along White Bear Avenue to the quieter residential streets near Maplewood Nature Center and the neighborhoods that back up to wooded areas and wetlands. We know how the tree cover and drainage conditions in those areas affect deck placement and footing work.
Maplewood also has access to great outdoor recreation -including Battle Creek Regional Park along the southern edge of the city - and that outdoor culture is part of why homeowners here invest in their outdoor spaces. A well-built deck extends the time you can spend outside during Minnesota's short summer, and Maplewood Deck & Fence builds every project to handle the winters that follow.
