Twin Cities Deck Construction & Replacement
First Impressions Exteriors builds, replaces, and reskins decks for homeowners and multi-family properties throughout the Twin Cities metro. We bring the same hands-on craftsmanship and attention to detail to every deck project that our customers have trusted for years on their roofs and siding.
Deck Services We Offer
First Impressions Exteriors offers three types of deck services for residential and multi-family properties throughout the Twin Cities metro.
New Deck Construction — We design and build new decks from the ground up. Whether you want a simple ground-level platform or a multi-level structure with stairs and railing, we build something that fits your property and your budget.
Deck Replacement — If your existing deck is structurally compromised, rotting, or past its useful life, a full replacement is often the smartest long-term investment. We remove the old structure and build new to current code.
Deck Reskinning — If your frame is sound but the surface is worn or damaged, reskinning restores the look and function of your deck without a full tear-off.
Materials We Work With
We work with all major decking materials so you can choose what fits your goals, your maintenance preferences, and your budget.
Pressure-Treated Wood The most affordable option for new builds. Durable, widely available, and a proven choice for Minnesota’s climate when properly installed and maintained.
Cedar A natural, attractive option with good resistance to moisture and insects. A popular choice for homeowners who want a traditional wood aesthetic.
Composite Decking Brands like Trex, TimberTech, and Azek offer low-maintenance composite decking that resists fading, staining, and moisture. An excellent long-term investment.
PVC Decking Fully synthetic and highly durable. PVC stands up well to Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles and requires minimal maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of decks do you build?
We build ground-level decks, elevated decks, multi-level decks, and wrap-around decks for residential and multi-family properties throughout the Twin Cities metro.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. Deck projects in Minnesota typically require a building permit and we handle that process as part of the project.
How long does a deck build take?
Most residential deck projects take one to two weeks depending on size, materials, and complexity. We’ll give you a realistic timeline before work begins.
What’s the difference between deck replacement and reskinning?
Replacement involves removing the entire structure and starting fresh. Reskinning keeps the existing frame and replaces only the decking surface and worn components.
Do you work on multi-family properties?
Yes. We work with property owners and managers on multi-family deck projects of varying scale.
What areas do you serve?
We serve the Twin Cities metro and surrounding communities in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
