Communication was fantastic throughout the build. All the guys on the crew were friendly and really cared about the quality of work. We’ve had so many people compliment on how great the porch and deck look. We would highly recommend Tyler and Northern Craft Building for any deck or porch project."

  • "Northern Craft Building did a wonderful job on our deck. Communication was great from Tyler throughout the process. It was done mostly through text and email which worked perfectly with my schedule as I spend most of my work days in meetings. Work crew was able to start 2 1/2 weeks after I signed the contract so we to could still enjoy the new deck for some of the summer. The crew did awesome craftsmanship and completed the job in 2 days. Very happy with the end result and would recommend this company to anyone interested in a new deck!"

    — Kimberly B., Savage, MN

  • "Our deck replacement project was the best experience, starting with a prompt response from Tyler for a bid, followed by a detailed plan/proposal shortly after his visit to our home. We were able to view different product options at their showroom, and Tyler was very informative & helpful explaining the products available and the process of the project. The crew headed by Isaiah showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently, cleaned up afterwards, and were perfectionists! They were all a pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend Northern Craft Building!"

Frequently Asked Questions

  • In Minnesota’s harsh climate, with snow and freeze-thaw cycles, a wood deck’s lifespan varies based on wood type, maintenance, climate exposure, and construction quality:

    • Typical Lifespan: Pressure-treated pine lasts 10–15 years with good care. Premium woods like cedar or redwood can potentially last 15–25 years with diligent maintenance. Heavy snow, ice, and humidity can shorten this lifespan, and achieving the upper end requires significant upkeep.

    Factors Influencing Lifespan:

    • Wood Type: Pressure-treated pine is common but needs consistent sealing. Cedar or redwood offers better natural resistance but still requires care.

    • Maintenance: Regular cleaning, sealing/staining, and prompt snow removal are crucial to prevent rot, warping, and splintering.

    • Climate: Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles stress wood more than milder climates, accelerating wear and tear.

    • Construction Quality: Proper drainage, airflow, and weather-resistant fasteners significantly extend deck durability.

  • Knowing when to replace your deck is key to safety and enjoyment. Look for these warning signs:

    • Rot or Mold: Wood that is soft, crumbling, or has visible mold and mildew.

    • Cracking or Splintering: Large cracks, deep splits, or extensive splintering that cleaning and repairs can’t fix.

    • Loose or Wobbly Components: Railings, stairs, or support posts that feel unstable.

    • Sagging or Uneven Decking: A noticeable dip or uneven surface that indicates structural issues.

    • Fastener or Hardware Failure: Rusted, loose, or missing screws and bolts affecting stability.

    Additional Considerations:

    • Age: Wood decks older than 15–20 years may need replacement, especially in harsh climates like Minnesota.

    • Maintenance History: Decks that haven’t been regularly cleaned, sealed, or snow-cleared are more likely to need replacement sooner.

    • Safety First: If your deck shows multiple warning signs, replacement is usually safer than repair.

    Replacing your deck ensures long-term durability, safety, and peace of mind, especially in climates with heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles.
