What is a Custom Deck?

A custom deck is more than just a place to set out patio furniture. It’s a purpose-built outdoor space designed around your home’s layout, lifestyle, and how you plan to enjoy it.

  • Custom Decks are Tailored: Every element—from shape and size to materials and finishes—is selected based on how you want to live outside.
  • These Decks Adapt to Your Property: Whether you’re on a slope in Sherwood or have a tight yard in Appleton, custom construction maximizes your space.

Why Homeowners Choose Custom Decks

Custom decks offer more than just good looks—they deliver real benefits tailored to your everyday life. These advantages help make your investment worth it, season after season.

  • Built Around Your Lifestyle: Whether hosting family cookouts in Kaukauna or sipping coffee alone in Neenah, your deck is designed to match how you spend time outdoors. Every square foot serves a purpose.
  • Adds Lasting Value to Your Home: A well-crafted deck boosts property appeal and resale potential. Buyers love stepping into an outdoor space that’s already dialed in.
  • Designed for Your Yard: Custom decks work with your lot’s natural shape. They solve slope challenges, tight spaces, and unique home layouts that generic decks can’t.
  • Includes the Features You Want: You get the extras that matter most to your family, from integrated lighting to built-in seating and shade structures. These upgrades aren’t afterthoughts—they’re planned from the start.
  • Built to Withstand Wisconsin Weather: Custom means choosing materials and construction techniques that withstand the elements in places like Green Bay or Greenville. That means fewer issues and a longer lifespan.

Custom Deck Designs That Fit How You Live

From quiet coffee mornings to weekend parties, the right deck design supports the life you want outside. As a trusted deck installer serving Menasha, Appleton, and beyond, Northwoods Deck Company builds decks in a range of shapes, sizes, and styles to match your goals and your lot.

  • Multi-Level Decks: Great for sloped yards or homes with walkout basements. Multi-level designs help define separate areas for dining, lounging, or soaking in a hot tub.
  • Ground-Level Decks: Clean, simple, and accessible—these decks are a smart choice for ranch-style homes or families needing easy entry without stairs.
  • Covered Decks: Keep the elements out while staying outside. Covered spaces add shade in summer and extend your outdoor season when paired with lighting or heaters.
  • Spa and Pool Decks: Designed for durability and water resistance, these decks offer safe footing and defined lounge space. Your pool area feels more like a retreat.
  • Decks with Inlays or Borders: Visual details like picture-frame borders or center inlays turn your deck into a design feature. They also subtly guide traffic flow across the surface.

Decking Materials That Work as Hard as Your Deck Should

The right materials don’t just define the look of your deck—they determine how well it performs, how often you maintain it, and how long it lasts. Northwoods Deck Company helps homeowners across the Fox Valley area choose durable, beautiful materials that match their lifestyle and budget.

Composite Decks

Composite decking is ideal for families who want a long-lasting, low-maintenance surface that stands up to Wisconsin weather. It’s a popular choice for custom deck projects in cities like Neenah, Howard, and Bellevue.

  • Trex Composite Decking: As a TrexPro Platinum contractor, we install Trex products that resist fading, staining, and mold. They’re available in a wide range of colors and textures, making it easy to find a style that fits your home.
  • TimberTech/AZEK Decking: TimberTech offers traditional composite and advanced PVC decking options. AZEK’s capped polymer boards deliver exceptional durability with zero wood content—perfect for wet areas like pool decks or shaded locations prone to moisture.

Wood Decks

Wood decking remains a top choice for homeowners who love the warmth and natural beauty only real wood can offer. Northwoods Deck Company builds wood decks that blend seamlessly with both traditional and modern homes.

  • Cedar Decks: Known for its rich grain and natural resistance to insects and decay, cedar is a great fit for custom decks in wooded neighborhoods like Sherwood or Harrison.
  • Treated Lumber Decks: Pressure-treated pine offers a cost-effective, reliable decking solution. It’s easy to stain or seal, making it versatile for a wide range of looks and functional builds.

Features That Make Your Deck Feel Complete

A custom deck isn’t just about the surface—it’s about creating a space that works day and night, rain or shine. Northwoods Deck Company offers tailored features that boost comfort, safety, and style across Northeast Wisconsin.

  • Pergolas: Custom pergolas add shade, structure, and dimension. They pair perfectly with composite decks to define spaces and add vertical interest.
  • Deck Lighting: From step lights to post cap fixtures, lighting makes your deck safer and more inviting after dark. It sets the mood for evening gatherings and helps prevent trips or falls on multi-level structures.
  • Deck Railings: We install durable, eye-catching railings in styles that match your home and layout. Choose from sleek aluminum, low-maintenance composite, or traditional wood options that add personality and protect your space.
  • Underdeck Waterproofing: Underdeck water drainage systems create a dry, usable space beneath for elevated decks. It’s perfect for extra storage, shaded seating, or protecting lower-level patios from rain.
  • Built-In Benches: These provide permanent, space-saving seating that blends seamlessly with your deck’s layout. They’re ideal for gathering spots, especially around dining tables or fire pits.
