Custom Deck Design & Construction in North Dakota

Thoughtful Design Meets Proven Construction

Build the Perfect Deck for How You Live

A great deck starts with a smart plan. At Alliance Deck Builders of North Dakota, we pair expert layout design with precise construction to create outdoor living spaces that work for the way you live. Whether you're building from scratch, expanding your layout, or upgrading from wood to composite, our team helps shape your ideas into a durable, code-compliant deck you’ll enjoy year after year. From slope and drainage to wind exposure and sun angles, we factor in every detail so your deck lasts through all seasons.

Built for Function, Framed for Beauty

The Benefits of Custom Deck Construction

Pre-built platforms don’t stand a chance against North Dakota’s weather. Our decks are fully customized—from the footings to the finishes—to match your home, your slope, and your lifestyle. We don't use shortcuts, and we don’t push cookie-cutter kits. Every beam, post, and plank is cut and fitted on-site by local crews who understand frost lines, drainage flow, and elevation changes. Whether you’re looking for a sleek composite platform or a natural cedar layout, our builds are made to endure.

  • Site-specific layout for max comfort and flow

  • Code-compliant framing with deep-set footings

  • Wide material selection: Trex, cedar, more

Every Deck Starts with a Plan

Our Design Process

We begin with a walk-through of your space to understand how you want to use it—dining, lounging, hosting, or a little of everything. We measure slope, check drainage, and talk through sun exposure, wind direction, and privacy needs. Then we design a layout that makes sense for your lifestyle and budget. You’ll see 2D or 3D renderings of your deck before we ever lift a hammer. This collaborative approach gives you full confidence before construction begins.

Designed for North Dakota Conditions

Weather-Ready Materials and Framing

In a climate that swings from -30°F winters to 90°F summers, every deck must be built with materials and methods that handle expansion, moisture, and UV exposure. That’s why we use kiln-dried framing lumber, stainless fasteners, and weather-resistant surfacing like Trex and TimberTech. Our crews follow best practices for airflow, spacing, and drainage to prevent warping and rot. Whether you’re building in Fargo, Minot, or a rural lot, your deck will be tailored to the environment it stands in.

Deck Design & Construction FAQs

These are some of the most common questions we hear from clients starting their deck journey. If you're wondering what to expect, this will help.

What’s the best material for low maintenance?

Trex or TimberTech composite decking is ideal—it resists fading, moisture, and warping with almost no upkeep.

Do I need a permit for my deck?

Most decks do require permits. We handle all local permitting and inspections based on your city’s building codes.

How do you handle sloped or uneven yards?

We adjust footing depths, use step-down designs, and build retaining elements to ensure a level, safe deck.

Can you match my home’s existing exterior?

Yes. We offer custom color options, trims, and railings to blend your deck seamlessly with your siding and architecture.
