Deck Builders in Franklin, WI

Before anything gets decided, come see the materials in person. It makes a bigger difference than most people expect.

Colors look completely different on a screen than they do under real lighting next to your chosen railing system. A railing finish you think you love online might feel cheap in person. One you dismissed in a photo might be exactly right when you touch it.

At our showroom you can:

• Walk through every Timbertech Advanced PVC color under real lighting.
  
  
• Compare Westbury aluminum and Fortress steel railings side by side.
  
  
• Look at Dan's hand-fabricated metalwork to see what's possible outside a standard catalog.

Here’s how that pays off through a Milwaukee County winter:

• Stands up to freeze-thaw swings without splitting, cupping, or splintering.
• 15 color options, from classic browns to sleek, contemporary grays.
• Cleans up with basic soap and water, so there’s no staining, sealing, or sanding.
• UV resistance keeps the color from fading under years of summer sun.

Wood decks around Franklin usually need a new coat of stain or sealer every couple of years to stay protected. Timbertech eliminates that routine completely and often holds up better than wood in the conditions Wisconsin throws at it.

Franklin homes tend to have strong street presence, and a well-designed porch can make that even better. Whether it is a covered front entry that changes how the home looks from the road or an enclosed outdoor room that adds functional space on the back of the house, a porch does something a deck cannot. It gives you somewhere to be outdoors regardless of what the weather is doing.

Porch types we build for Franklin homeowners:

• Front porches that create a defined covered entry and improve curb appeal in a way that reads well from the street.
• Screened porches that let you enjoy Franklin's summer evenings without the mosquitoes that make open-air sitting uncomfortable after sundown.
• Three-season porches that add a genuine extra room to the home, usable from early spring through late fall with operable windows that adapt to the temperature.

We tie every porch installation into the home's existing roofline and exterior with proper ledger work, correct flashing, and trim details that make the new addition look like it was part of the original design.

Franklin has a growing commercial presence along its main corridors, and restaurants and businesses here need outdoor spaces that work hard without requiring constant attention. A commercial deck that holds up under real daily traffic without seasonal maintenance closures is an asset. One that does not is a liability.

What every commercial deck build in Franklin includes:

• Seating and dining layouts designed around how customers and staff move through the space.
• ADA accessible transitions and routes integrated into the design from the start.
• Commercial-grade structural framing heavier than what a residential build requires.
• Stair and railing systems that meet Franklin's commercial code requirements.
• High-traffic surface materials that do not break down under sustained daily use.

Timbertech Advanced PVC goes on the surface of every commercial deck we build. Our commercial project history includes The Harp and Wauwatiki Bar and Grill across southeastern Wisconsin, and we bring the same standard to every commercial project regardless of size.

A railing does more than keep people safe. It frames the entire deck and shapes the first impression anyone gets when they step outside. The right system makes a Franklin outdoor space look finished and intentional, while the wrong one can drag down an otherwise great build.

We offer three railing options, depending on the look you want:

1. Westbury aluminum won’t rust, never needs maintenance, and comes in a range of colors to match your home’s exterior. Its clean, simple profile meets code and fits naturally with everything from traditional to modern homes.
2. 
   
3. Fortress steel has a heavier, more substantial presence than aluminum, with styles that run from sleek contemporary to classic. The powder-coated finish stands up to years of Wisconsin weather without any ongoing upkeep.
4. 
   
5. Dan’s custom fabricated steel is designed and built by hand for your project alone. Think family crests set into railing panels, geometric privacy screens, or patterns drawn from nature: metalwork that becomes a centerpiece of the property instead of something that fades into the background.
6.
