Building a deck in Maple Grove
Many Maple Grove homes still have the deck that came with the house. When the boards are worn but the structure is sound, deck repair or resurfacing can make sense; when it isn’t, we rebuild. Homes on Weaver, Fish, Eagle and Rice lakes get a lake deck planned around the water.
Maple Grove deck permits and code
Maple Grove publishes a deck plan guide and a permits page. In the Twin Cities, deck footings go at least 42 inches deep to get below frost, and decks more than 30 inches above grade need guards.

Do I need a permit for a deck in Maple Grove?
Most decks in Maple Grove need a building permit. The city publishes a deck plan guide and a permits page; both are linked below.
Do you build patios?
Yes. We build patios on their own or alongside a new deck, and a Luxury Pergola can go over either one.
Can you replace my original builder deck?
Yes. We check the footings and framing first. Sometimes the structure can be kept and resurfaced; sometimes a full rebuild is the better buy.
Can you add a pergola?
Yes. Todd is the Midwest dealer for The Luxury Pergola and installs them himself, on a deck or a patio.
Is DecksMN.com part of Carstensen Construction?
Yes. All of Todd’s deck work is now part of one Carstensen Construction site.
