The crew behind Troy Deck Builders
One local team for decks and porch rooms in Troy: who we are, how we quote, why we probe before we promise, and the standards every job runs on.
A local outfit that builds like it lives here
Troy Deck Builders does one thing: outdoor structures, in and around Troy. The estimate we hand over reads like a builder wrote it, because one did: pier count, ledger detail, hardware spec, board and railing lines, the permit fee passed through at cost. From new builds and full replacements to composite conversions, structural repairs, staining, and three-season rooms, every project runs through one local team. No canvassers, no pressure at the kitchen table, no crew we have not worked beside. We probe before we promise. And if your deck is not worth your money this year, we say that on the first visit and leave you a plan instead of a contract.

Built out in the 60s, 70s, and 80s
Troy holds about 34,600 homes for just under 90,000 people, and nearly a third of those houses went up in the 1970s alone. Add the 60s and 80s and roughly 59 percent of the stock comes from one building run. About 72 percent is owner-occupied.
For deck work that means one thing repeating street after street: original structures hitting the end of their useful decades at the same time, subdivision by subdivision. We plan crews, lumber orders, and permit filings around exactly that wave, which is why spring slots fill early.
A process you can inspect
Every job runs the same route: probe and measure on site, a written scope you can compare line by line, the permit file emailed to the city, the open-hole and framing inspections passed in daylight, and a broom-clean yard at the end of every working day, done in order.
Site visit first
We walk the yard, measure, probe the frame, and photograph before any number leaves our desk.
Scope in writing
Piers, ledger, hardware, boards, and railings, each its own line.
Permits filed for you
Application, plot plan, and drawings emailed to Troy's Building Department.
Inspection gates
Open footing holes and framing checked before anything gets covered.
Clean site daily
Fasteners swept, lumber stacked, and the yard usable each evening.
Honest verdicts
Repair, resurface, or replace: we price the one your deck actually needs, not the biggest one.
Below-frost footings
Every pier dug to 42 inches and inspected open.
Bolted, flashed ledgers
Through-bolts and metal flashing at the house, always.
Matched hardware
Hot-dip galvanized or stainless, never mixed metals.
County-wide reach
Troy base, Oakland County suburbs, and Warren covered.
Deck builders across Oakland County
The shop schedule runs on a tight radius on purpose: Troy first, then the ring from Rochester Hills around to Warren. Close jobs mean crews that show up when the schedule says, and a builder who has already met your soil, your inspectors, and probably your subdivision.
Talk to the crew before the rush
A site visit costs you twenty minutes and nothing else. Call or send the form, walk the deck with us, and get a written scope you can hold us to.
