Professional Deck Builders in Wauwatosa, WI
Wauwatosa's Trusted Deck Builder Since 2003
Brew City Builders has been the go-to deck company for Wauwatosa homeowners since 2003. Our showroom is in West Allis, less than ten minutes from most Wauwatosa neighborhoods, and we have worked on every type of property the city has, from Craftsman bungalows near Hart Park to brick colonials along the Menomonee River corridor to newer builds closer to the Brookfield border.
You are working with a local deck builder that pulls Wauwatosa permits regularly, knows the city's inspection process, and has been building in southeastern Wisconsin for over 20 years. Not a franchise that added Wauwatosa to a service area list.
Whether you need composite deck installation, a traditional wood deck, a porch, or a full outdoor space with custom railings, we build everything around your specific property.

A deck built for a Wauwatosa property isn't the same as a deck built anywhere else. The lot sizes, the home styles, and the way outdoor space gets used through a Wisconsin summer all factor into how we design and build.
Brew City Builders has been working in Wauwatosa since 2003, pulling permits, passing inspections, and building decks that fit the homes and the people who live in them. If you're ready to add outdoor space that actually works for your property, give us a call or stop by our showroom to get started.

Composite Deck Installation in Wauwatosa
A composite deck is the most popular choice for Wauwatosa homeowners who want a great-looking outdoor space without ongoing maintenance. As your
local deck company, we exclusively use Timbertech Advanced PVC for all composite deck projects.
Timbertech Advanced PVC is 100% PVC with no wood fibers. Here is what that means for you:
- Will not rot, crack, warp, or splinter through Wisconsin winters.
- Available in 15 colors including natural wood tones and designer shades.
- Cleans up with soap and water a couple of times a year.
- No staining, no sealing, no sanding.
You can see every Timbertech color under real lighting at our West Allis showroom before you decide anything. Seeing materials in person makes a real difference.
Wood Deck Installation in Wauwatosa
If you prefer the look and feel of a traditional wood deck, we build those too. For wood deck installation we use ProWood treated pine, infused with iron to give it a cedar-like appearance with stronger rot resistance than standard treated lumber.
When installed with proper flashing and quality fasteners, a ProWood deck lasts for decades and gives Wauwatosa homeowners the natural wood look they want without sacrificing durability.
No matter which surface material you choose, every deck we build is framed with KDAT lumber:
- Standard pressure treated framing is wet when it leaves the treatment facility.
- It shrinks, warps, and twists as it dries over time.
- KDAT is kiln dried before it arrives on your job site, already stable when we install it.
- Your framing stays straight, your boards stay level, and your deck holds up far longer.
The difference shows up 10 years later when one deck is still level and another is sagging.
We Frame Every Deck With KDAT Lumber
The decking material you choose gets most of the attention, but the framing underneath is what determines how long your deck actually holds up. That's why Brew City Builders uses KDAT (Kiln Dried After Treatment) lumber for the structural framing on every deck we build, regardless of what goes on top.
Most deck companies frame with standard pressure treated lumber. The problem is that standard pressure treated wood comes out of the treatment process saturated with moisture. Once it's installed and starts to dry out, it moves. Boards shrink, twist, and warp. Fasteners work loose. Joints open up. What started as a solid structure starts showing problems within a few years.
KDAT lumber goes through a kiln drying process before it ever reaches your job site, which means the wood is already dimensionally stable when we install it. Here's what that means for your deck:
- The framing holds its shape and stays straight under load.
- Fasteners and joints stay tight over time.
- The deck surface stays level as the years go by.
- Structural integrity holds up for decades, not just a few seasons.
It's a detail most homeowners never think to ask about, and one most deck companies don't bother with. We include it on every project because it's the right way to build.
Custom Railings and Metalwork
The right railing system ties your whole deck together. We offer three options:
- Westbury aluminum railings are rust-proof, low maintenance, and come in multiple colors to match your home.
- Fortress steel railing systems offer a range of styles from modern to traditional with powder-coated finishes built for Wisconsin weather.
- Dan's custom fabricated steel railings are built by hand for your specific project, family crests, geometric patterns, decorative screens, and designs you will not find anywhere else.
Commercial Deck Building
Commercial outdoor seating has to work harder than a residential deck. It sees more foot traffic, more wear, and far less downtime for repairs or upkeep. Brew City Builders designs and builds commercial decks for restaurants, bars, and businesses across Wauwatosa and southeastern Wisconsin with that reality in mind.
We use heavier framing and TimberTech Advanced PVC decking on every commercial project, a combination that holds up under daily heavy use and keeps maintenance simple. No sanding, no sealing, and no significant disruption to your operation. Just a durable outdoor space that adds seating capacity and keeps customers coming back.
