OUR PROCESS
We build quality decks that enhance your outdoor living space.
Natural Wood Decking
EP WoodSeries™
EP WoodSeries™ uses premium pressure-treated, cedar, redwood, and exotic hardwood decking. Each tier upgrades wood species, railing style, and finish quality — giving you the natural warmth and beauty of real wood with professional-grade construction.
Most homeowners choose EP HeritageDeck™ for the best balance of exotic hardwood beauty, durability, and long-term value.
Composite Decking
EP CompositeSeries™
EP CompositeSeries™ uses proven brands like Trex, TimberTech, and AZEK. Each tier upgrades board quality, railing design, and included features — delivering the look of real wood with virtually zero maintenance for 25–50 years.
Most homeowners choose EP HeritageDeck™ for the strongest mix of designer style, durability, and long-term value.
Cellular PVC Decking
EP PVCSeries™
EP PVCSeries™ uses 100% cellular PVC decking with zero wood fiber — the most moisture-resistant decking material available. Each tier upgrades board quality, railing design, and included features for areas with maximum exposure to water and weather.
Most homeowners choose EP HeritageDeck™ for the best mix of premium PVC performance, designer style, and total peace of mind.
Designed Your Way
Why Railings & Skirting Are Not Included by Default
Every home is different—and today there are dozens of railing styles, materials, colors, and price points, along with many skirting options. To keep your project customizable and budget-friendly, our standard deck pricing focuses on the core deck structure and walking surface.
Add-on Options Available:
- Code-compliant guard rails and handrails (multiple styles)
- Stair rails and post wraps
- Skirting packages (lattice, privacy, vented, decorative)
- Under-deck storage / access door options (when applicable)

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions — Decks
Simple deck replacements take 3–5 days. Medium-sized projects run 1–2 weeks, and large custom multi-level decks can take 2–4 weeks. We'll give you a detailed timeline during your consultation.
Wood costs less upfront but needs staining every 2–3 years. Composite costs more initially but requires almost no maintenance and lasts 25–50 years. Most homeowners choose composite for long-term value.
We install Trex, TimberTech, Azek, and other premium brands proven for Michigan's climate. All resist fading, mold, and moisture. Better+ packages include full designer color ranges.
Most deck projects require a permit, especially decks over 30 inches high or attached to your home. We handle all permitting, inspections, and code compliance as part of our service.
If the frame is structurally sound and meets current codes, yes—replacing just decking and railings can save you money. We'll assess during your free consultation.
Skirting covers the area beneath elevated decks for a finished look and keeps animals from nesting underneath. Options range from basic lattice to premium stone-accented panels.
Pergolas add partial shade, architectural interest, and increase your deck's usability on sunny days. They're included in Best and Premier packages and offer strong ROI.
Spring through fall is ideal, but we can build year-round when weather permits. Ground frost affects footing installation, so we'll schedule the best timing for your project.
Sweep regularly and wash once or twice a year with soap and water. No staining, sealing, or sanding—ever. Most composite decks look great for 25+ years with minimal effort.
Deck additions typically recoup 60–75% of cost in home value. A quality composite deck can add $10,000–$25,000 to your resale price depending on size and features.
Every installation includes our EP Protection Plan™ lifetime workmanship warranty. Composite material warranties range from 25 years to lifetime depending on the package.
