Who We Are

The People Who Show Up and Build It

We build and repair decks for homeowners across the Milwaukee area, from a brand new deck off the back of the house to a twenty-year-old deck that's starting to sag. Most people who call us have one of two problems: they want outdoor space that doesn't exist yet, or they've got a deck with soft boards, a wobbly railing, or a ledger board pulling away from the house. Either way you're trying to figure out if the whole thing has to come down or if it can be fixed. We look at the actual structure before we tell you which.

Every deck we build starts below ground, with footings poured past the frost line so it doesn't heave every spring. We flash the ledger board where it meets your house so water doesn't get behind the siding and rot the band board, which is the most common failure we see on decks around here. On repairs, we replace what's actually bad and match the framing size instead of just sistering a board and hoping. That's the difference between a deck that lasts a few more summers and one that lasts another twenty years.

5.0 from 100+ reviews
Ledger board behind our siding in West Allis was soaked through and we had no idea. They caught it during a repair quote and fixed it before it took out the band board too.

Had to reschedule twice because of rain but they just kept in touch and came back the second it dried out. Stain looks even, no lap marks.
Marie S.
Deck Staining & Sealing · Racine, WI
Our backyard in Franklin slopes like crazy and they worked out a two-level deck instead of one big staircase. Railing feels solid, not wobbly like our old one.

Common Questions

Questions we get a lot

Questions people ask before they call.

How much does a new deck cost in Milwaukee?
Deck costs in the Milwaukee area typically range from about $35 to $75 per square foot depending on decking material, railing style, and how many levels the deck has. Pressure-treated wood sits at the low end, composite decking like Trex runs higher, and multi-level layouts with custom railing add cost on top of the base framing.
Is Sunrise Deck Co licensed and insured?
Yes, deck construction work is carried out under general liability insurance and Wisconsin contractor licensing requirements, and certificates are available on request before a project starts. This covers property damage and job site accidents during construction.
How soon can you start my deck project?
Scheduling for deck construction in the Milwaukee area typically runs two to six weeks out depending on the season, with spring and early summer being the busiest stretch. Repair work can often be scheduled faster since it doesn't usually require the same permit lead time as new construction.
What areas around Milwaukee do you build decks in?
Deck construction and repair services cover Milwaukee and surrounding communities within roughly a 50-mile radius, including Waukesha, West Allis, Wauwatosa, and Racine. Distance from Milwaukee may add a small trip charge for jobs on the outer edge of that range.
Do you build decks on condos or rental properties, not just single-family homes?
Deck construction and repair work applies to single-family homes, condos, duplexes, and rental properties, though condo association approval is usually required before work can start on a shared structure. Rental property owners often schedule repairs between tenants to avoid access issues.
Will you take on a small deck repair, or only full builds?
Small deck repairs, such as replacing a few rotted boards, fixing a wobbly railing post, or resetting a sunk footing, are handled the same as larger builds. No job is considered too small to quote.
How do I get started with a deck project?
The first step is a call or message describing the project, whether it's a new deck, a repair, or a staining job, followed by an in-person visit to look at the yard and existing structure if there is one. A written quote follows that visit, broken down by material and labor.
What actually drives the price up or down on a deck?
Decking material is the biggest factor, with composite costing roughly two to three times more than pressure-treated pine per square foot. Railing style, the number of stairs, deck height above grade, and whether old decking needs to be torn out first also move the number significantly.
Do you require a deposit before starting work?
A deposit is standard practice for deck construction to cover material costs upfront, with the remaining balance due on completion or in stages for larger multi-level builds. The exact deposit amount is spelled out in the written quote before any work begins.
What happens if it rains during my deck build?
Framing and structural work can often continue through light rain, but pouring concrete footings and staining or sealing decking both require dry conditions and get rescheduled around the forecast. Wisconsin's spring weather is unpredictable enough that a few rain delays should be expected on any outdoor build scheduled April through June.
