Michigan Deck Construction: Customer Success Story
Hear from our neighbor, Frank, about his experience with Community Construction, the premier composite deck contractors in the state.
Video Transcript: "Actually, I hurt myself 16 months ago on a construction project right here and have been unable to finish it up myself. And I called Community and they came out to give me an estimate, and the people at Community decided to go ahead and do this for me—from a company that didn't have to help me out at all. So when you need something done, and you want true, honest people that are local, call Community."

How much does a composite deck cost in Michigan?
The deck replacement cost homeowners pay varies by size and material. On average, a composite deck ranges from $15,000 to $35,000+. While the initial investment is higher than that of wood, the maintenance savings over time are significant.
What is the price difference between wood and composite decking?
Composite decking materials typically cost 30-50% more upfront than pressure-treated wood. However, wood decks require annual staining and sealing, while composite decks require only soap-and-water cleaning.
Is Trex or TimberTech better for Michigan weather?
Both are excellent choices. Trex is renowned for its eco-friendly recycled content. TimberTech often offers superior heat dissipation (cooler on bare feet) and advanced moisture resistance, making it highly popular for lakefront properties.
How long does a wood deck last in Michigan?
A well-maintained pressure-treated wood deck typically lasts 15-20 years. Without regular sealing against snow and rain, that lifespan can drop rapidly to 10-12 years.
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Michigan?
Yes. If the deck is attached to the home or is more than 30 inches off the ground, a building permit is required. At Community Construction, we handle all drawings, permits, and inspections for you.
