Location: Plymouth, MN
Renovations: Deck Installation
The owners of this welcoming single-story Rambler in Plymouth, MN approached our team at Iron River Construction to build a new deck for their backyard. Rotting, sagging beams and the lack of a railing around the perimeter made this deck a hazard for the child and pets of this young family.
With our 20+ years in the industry, this family knew they could trust our skill and workmanship to ensure the safety of their deck. Our positive local reputation made them feel comfortable with our team from the start and excited to begin their deck renovation.
Stabilizing Existing Structure Provides Cost-Saving Solution
When designing their new deck, we found that we could utilize the existing footing and framing to decrease the overall cost of the project. To make everything perfectly level, we had to plane down several joists and add mechanical fasteners to stabilize the deck and bring it up to code. The once sagging deck was beginning to take on a newly improved form.


New Design Provides an Easy Access Deck for All
Once the deck was brought up to code and prepped, we built on wider corner stairs and railing to accommodate easy access for the family and their pets. This addition was also beneficial for their timeline and budget, making these design choices a good fit for their needs.
The products the homeowners selected for this project included:
- TimberTech Reserve composite decking in Dark Roast – TimberTech composite decking offers a gorgeous low maintenance solution while resisting peeling, rotting, and cracking.
- Westbury Tuscany railings in Black 2×2 – Westbury railings are made of durable aluminum and offer an elegant look for any deck or outdoor structure.
The final outcome of the deck offered this family a sustainable and cost effective solution to live the lifestyle they always wanted.

The family was thrilled with the outcome of their deck, as well as our ability to keep within the original budget and timeline. Their expectations were met and exceeded by our team’s professionalism and the ample communication we provided throughout the project.
