Building a deck in Victoria

Victoria is built around water: Lake Zumbra, Stieger Lake and the bays and channels nearby. A deck on a lake lot is planned around sight lines, sun and the walk down to the dock. See lake decks for how we approach them.

Victoria deck permits and code

Start with the city’s building 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.

Built right, from the footings up.

Todd’s crew frames every deck the way they frame a house, so it stays solid and level year after year.

Straight answers.

Do I need a permit for a deck in Victoria?

Most decks in Victoria need a building permit. The city’s building permits page lists what to submit; it’s 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.

Do you build decks on Victoria lake lots?

Yes. Lake decks on Lake Zumbra, Stieger Lake and nearby water are planned around sight lines, sun and materials that stand up to the weather.

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.
