Q&A

What does deck repair or replacement typically involve for a Detroit Lakes home?

We start by inspecting the existing deck structure for rot, loose fasteners, or unstable boards. For repairs, we replace damaged wood, reinforce railings, and secure the ledger board to the house. If replacement is needed, we remove the old deck, pour new footings, and build a code-compliant structure using treated lumber or composite materials. We also consider local weather exposure when selecting fasteners and finishes to ensure long-term durability around Detroit Lakes.

How do you handle basement flooding after a tropical storm or heavy rain?

After a tropical storm or intense rainfall, basement flooding is common here. We arrive quickly to pump out standing water and set up industrial drying equipment. We inspect for hidden moisture in walls and under flooring using moisture meters. Once everything is dry, we treat for mold, remove affected drywall and insulation, and rebuild. We also advise on grading, gutters, or sump pump improvements to reduce future flood risk.

Do you offer complete building additions as a general contractor?

Yes, we manage the entire process for building additions, from design and permitting through framing, roofing, siding, and interior finishes. As general contractors, we coordinate all trades—electrical, plumbing, and HVAC—so you have one point of contact. Whether you need a new bedroom, home office, or expanded living space, we work with local inspectors to meet Detroit Lakes building codes and complete the project on time.
