Types of Decking We Install

At Minnesota Home Improvements, we offer a variety of decking materials to suit your specific style and preferences. Some common types of decking we install include:

• Natural wood: This classic decking choice exudes a warm, rustic feel that works well with most home designs. We recommend cedar or redwood for longevity and low maintenance.
• Composite: This modern alternative boasts the natural look of wood without the hassle. It’s made from a blend of plastic and wood fibers, making it resistant to rotting, warping, and cracking.
• Vinyl: Vinyl decking is durable, affordable, and easy to maintain, making it a popular choice for homeowners looking to add style and functionality to their outdoor space without breaking the bank.
• Aluminum decking: Aluminum decking is popular for its durability and low-maintenance features. It’s also resistant to rotting, warping, and insect damage, making it a safe decking option for any household. 

Custom Porch Installation

Whether you’re looking for a cozy front porch or a spacious screened-in back porch, our team can design and install a custom porch that reflects your unique aesthetic and style. Here are some common porch styles we install: 

• Screened porches: These enclosed porches offer protection from insects while providing a comfortable outdoor space, allowing you to enjoy fresh air without pesky bugs or debris.
• Wraparound porches: This classic porch style seamlessly integrates multiple outdoor areas into one continuous space, adding charm to any home with additional space for outdoor seating and décor.
• Verandas: Elegant and expansive, verandas provide covered outdoor living areas for entertaining or relaxing. These porches can enhance your home’s appearance while offering shade and protection from the elements.
• Porticos: Typically found at the front entrance, porticos add a touch of sophistication to your home’s façade. They provide shelter from rain and enhance curb appeal with a welcoming entryway.
• Open porches: Enjoy unobstructed views and easy access to the outdoors with an open porch. This style offers a simple space for enjoying nature, social gatherings, or winding down and relaxing after a long day. 

Traditional Wood vs. Composite Decking: Which Is Best?

Choosing the right decking material for your home depends on your priorities, such as cost, maintenance, and appearance. Traditional wood decking is popular for its versatility, attractiveness, easy installation, and affordability, making it a great budget-friendly choice for homeowners.

PVC and wood composite decks are more durable and have longer lifespans. This material is made from a combination of wood fibers and recycled plastic to withstand harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional wood, composite decking doesn’t require annual painting, staining, or sealing, making it an excellent low-maintenance decking option.
