Southeastern Wisconsin's Premier Deck Builder

🔨 Elevate Your Outdoors with Wisconsin’s Trusted Custom Deck Experts

In Southeastern Wisconsin, the seasons bring a mix of beauty and challenge—from sunny summers to icy winters. Homeowners here understand the importance of making the most out of their outdoor spaces, and nothing enhances a backyard quite like a well-crafted custom deck.

That’s where Skirrow Design Build comes in. As Southeastern Wisconsin's premier deck builder, we don’t just build decks—we create personalized outdoor living spaces that elevate your home, lifestyle, and property value.


Why a Custom Deck Is One of the Best Home Improvements You Can Make

A deck isn’t just an add-on. It’s an extension of your living space. It’s where you host barbecues, enjoy your morning coffee, or unwind after a long day. And when it’s designed and built with care, it becomes a long-term investment that pays off in both comfort and curb appeal.

Whether you're replacing an aging deck, expanding your backyard functionality, or building for the first time, choosing the right team matters.


Local Expertise That Makes a Difference

At Skirrow Design Build, we know Southeastern Wisconsin inside and out. We understand the local climate, zoning requirements, and architectural trends that shape the region. This knowledge helps us design decks that not only look great but last for decades.

When we say we’re Southeastern Wisconsin’s premier deck builder, it’s not just a tagline—it’s backed by years of experience, trusted client relationships, and a portfolio of projects that speak for themselves.


What Sets Us Apart?

1. Fully Customized Designs

No two homes—or homeowners—are alike. That’s why we start every project by listening. What’s your vision? Do you need room to entertain a crowd, or are you dreaming of a quiet space for two? Is accessibility a concern? Do you want multi-level functionality?

We tailor your deck to your needs, your home’s architecture, and your personal style.

2. High-Quality, Durable Materials

We work with the best materials in the industry—from beautiful, long-lasting composite decking options like Trex and TimberTech, to rich cedar and pressure-treated lumber. Each material is chosen based on performance, aesthetic, and how well it handles Wisconsin’s changing seasons.

Low-maintenance options? We’ve got you covered. Want to add lighting, custom railings, or built-in seating? We’ll design it right in.

3. Experienced Craftsmanship

Our team includes skilled carpenters and builders with years of hands-on deck-building experience. That means no cutting corners. From foundation to finish, we ensure every board is secure, level, and built to code.

4. Clear Communication

We’re homeowners too. We know how frustrating it is to be left in the dark during a remodeling project. That’s why we’re committed to open communication throughout every step—from design consultation and budgeting to construction and final walk-through.


More Than Just Decks: It’s Outdoor Living Reimagined

What makes a deck great? It’s not just the wood and nails—it’s the way it enhances your lifestyle. That’s our approach to every project. We consider how your deck will integrate with the rest of your home, how it will be used throughout the year, and how it can increase the functionality of your yard.

Some of our clients want a quiet, elevated retreat. Others want a full outdoor kitchen, space for a hot tub, or even a wraparound design that connects different areas of the property. Whatever your vision, we’ll help bring it to life.

Plus, the demand for experienced deck builders is always high in Southeastern Wisconsin. Scheduling early guarantees your spot and helps avoid delays.
