Industry expertise you can trust.

I’ve been in construction for over 20 years. I started as a carpenter and built my career from the tools up. As my renovation company grew, my role shifted into meetings and management. I’m proud of that growth, but I missed building.

Backyard Beaver is my way of staying connected to that.

Deck building is straightforward and honest. It’s solid framing, precise layout, clean finishes, and work that has to stand up year after year. No shortcuts. No overcomplicating it. Just good construction done properly.

Backyard Beaver isn’t a side hustle. It’s a return to my roots.

We build decks for homeowners who care about quality and want it done properly the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The cost of building a deck depends on factors like size, layout, materials, stairs, railings, and site conditions. Pressure-treated wood is generally the most budget-friendly option, while composite and PVC decking offer lower maintenance and longer-term durability at a higher upfront investment. At Backyard Beaver, we help homeowners choose materials and designs that fit both their needs and budget.

  • Wood, composite, and PVC decking all have advantages depending on what you’re looking for. Wood offers a natural look and lower upfront cost but requires ongoing maintenance. Composite is a popular low-maintenance option that resists rot and insects, while PVC offers excellent moisture resistance and long-term durability. We help homeowners choose the right material based on budget, maintenance preferences, and how they use their outdoor space.

  • Look for a licensed and insured contractor with experience, clear communication, and a strong portfolio of completed work. A good deck contractor should be transparent about materials, timelines, permits, and pricing, while also building to code and designing for long-term durability. At Backyard Beaver, every project is approached with quality craftsmanship, thoughtful planning, and over 20 years of construction experience.

  • In many cases, yes. If the framing is still structurally sound, resurfacing or targeted repairs may be enough to restore safety and improve appearance. We assess each deck individually and provide honest recommendations based on the condition of the structure, boards, railings, and overall lifespan.
