Ann Arbor is known for its tree-lined streets, historic architecture, and thriving cultural scene. Whether you live in a Victorian home near Kerrytown, a mid-century modern house in Burns Park, or a contemporary build in a newer development, a custom deck enhances your outdoor living space and complements your home’s character.
At Premier Deck Builders, we design and build high-quality decks that match Ann Arbor’s unique homes and landscapes. With over 10 years of experience and over 100 decks built, we bring expert craftsmanship, premium materials, and a streamlined process to every project. Whether you envision a multi-level deck for entertaining, a poolside retreat, or a screened porch for year-round enjoyment, we create decks built to last.
Custom Deck Designs for Every Ann Arbor Lifestyle
Every outdoor space is different, and we create custom decks that enhance the beauty and function of your home. Whether you want to expand your backyard, modernize your outdoor living space, or create an elegant entertaining area, we build decks that fit your needs.
Multi-Level Decks for Functional Outdoor Living
Ann Arbor’s varied terrain and home styles make multi-level decks a great solution. These designs create distinct spaces for dining, lounging, and entertaining, maximizing space and usability while complementing your home’s architectural charm.
Pool Decks That Balance Safety & Style
A well-designed pool deck provides a safe, stylish space for relaxation and entertainment. We use slip-resistant, moisture-resistant materials like TimberTech/Azek composite decking, ensuring a durable, low-maintenance surface that stays cool underfoot.
Composite Decking for a Low-Maintenance Outdoor Space
For homeowners who want the beauty of wood without the upkeep, composite decking is the perfect option. Our fade-resistant, weatherproof materials won’t splinter, warp, or require staining, giving you a long-lasting deck with minimal maintenance.
Covered Outdoor Structures for Year-Round Enjoyment
Ann Arbor’s changing seasons shouldn’t limit how often you enjoy your deck. Our custom-covered structures allow you to relax outdoors in any weather.
Pergolas: Stylish Shade & Architectural Interest
A pergola adds elegance and partial shade, creating a cozy outdoor retreat while maintaining an open-air feel. We offer custom pergola options, including:
- Retractable canopies for adjustable shade
- Privacy screens for added comfort
- Built-in lighting and climbing vines for a warm, inviting space
Pavilions & Gazebos: Complete Weather Protection
A pavilion or gazebo offers a covered outdoor space that protects from rain and sun. It is ideal for dining, entertaining, or unwinding after a long day.
Screened Porches: Fresh Air Without the Bugs
A screened-in porch provides year-round comfort, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors without the hassle of mosquitoes and pests. Whether sipping coffee on a crisp morning or entertaining in the evening, a screened porch enhances your home’s livability.
Built with Premium, Long-Lasting Materials
A deck is only as good as the materials used to build it. That’s why we choose high-performance, weather-resistant materials that withstand Michigan’s harsh winters and humid summers.
We specialize in composite decking from TimberTech/Azek, a low-maintenance, fade-resistant material that eliminates warping, rotting, and annual staining. We trust Westbury aluminum, a rust-proof, sleek option for railings that enhances safety and aesthetics.
Whether you prefer classic wood, modern cable railings, or built-in lighting features, our decks are designed with durability, beauty, and function in mind.
Deck Railings: Safety & Style Combined
Railings are essential for both safety and aesthetics. We offer a range of high-quality railing options:
- Westbury Aluminum Railings – Modern, durable, and maintenance-free
- Composite Railings – Classic and long-lasting, available in multiple colors
- Cable Railings – Open, contemporary design that preserves scenic views
Deck Remodeling & Resurfacing
Our remodeling and resurfacing services can restore and enhance your outdoor space if your deck is worn, outdated, or unsafe.
- Resurfacing with Composite Materials: Upgrade an aging wood deck with a durable, low-maintenance composite surface.
- Structural Repairs & Reinforcements: Strengthen the deck frame, footings, and support beams for long-term safety
- Modern Upgrades: Add features like built-in seating, fire pits, custom lighting, or outdoor kitchens
