Our Story

How we ended up doing this

We build and repair decks around Deer Lodge and the surrounding towns, mostly for homeowners who either want to add outdoor space or fix one that's gone wrong underneath. Working outside in Montana, on wood that has to survive real winters, is what got us into this trade and what keeps it interesting. Every deck we frame has to answer to frost heave and snow load, not just whether it looks good in July.

If you're on this page, chances are your deck has a specific problem: boards cupping, a railing that shifts when you grab it, stairs that feel off. We check the framing first, because a deck that looks fine on top can still have a ledger board pulling away from the house or a footing that's heaved out of level. We fix the structure before we touch the finish, so the deck is still square and solid five winters from now, not just this summer.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed and Insured

We carry insurance in case a board or a ladder does damage to your property during the work. Ask for certificates before we start, we'll have them ready.

Straightforward Quotes

We walk the site, measure the footprint, and write up a quote that breaks out lumber, hardware, and labor separately. No surprise line items once the framing is already up.

We Show Up When Scheduled

Deck jobs get pushed around by weather more than people expect, so we build slack into the schedule instead of promising something we can't hit. If frost or a hard rain delays a footing dig, we tell you before it becomes a surprise.

Materials That Hold Up

We'll talk you through pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and composite boards, and what each one actually costs over ten years, not just on day one. Composite costs more up front but doesn't need re-staining every couple summers.

Our Own Crew

We don't hand your deck off to a sub we've never worked with. The people framing your joists are the same ones who walked your yard and wrote the quote.

Local to Powell County

We've dug footings in this clay and rock mix enough times to know where frost heave actually happens around here. That local knowledge changes where we put posts and how deep we go.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about us specifically, not just the work.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck building takes years to get right, from reading a span table correctly to knowing how deep to set a footing in local soil. That kind of experience shows up in details homeowners don't usually notice until something fails, like flashing behind a ledger board.
Do you use your own crew or hire subcontractors?
Mighty Deck Solutions uses its own crew for framing, decking, and railing work. The people who show up to build a deck are the same ones who quoted it and know the plan.
Can I see examples of decks you've built?
Photos of completed decks in similar sizes, materials, and layouts can be shown on request. Seeing a railing detail or stair design in person often helps more than a description over the phone.
Why should I hire a smaller deck builder instead of a big contracting company?
With a smaller operation, the person who quotes the deck is usually the same one who builds it and answers the phone if something comes up afterward. There's no office routing calls through a rotating crew the homeowner has never met.
Where are you based?
Mighty Deck Solutions is based in Deer Lodge, MT, and works throughout Powell County and the surrounding towns. Being local means knowing how the ground and weather here actually treat a deck, not just what a manual says.
How far out are you booked?
Availability shifts with the season, and spring through early summer fills up fastest for new builds. A current timeline is best confirmed with a phone call rather than guessed at ahead of time.
Do you clean up the job site when you're done?
Old decking, cut-offs, and packaging get hauled away, and screws and nails get swept up from the yard and driveway. A job site full of scrap lumber and loose fasteners is a safety problem, not just a mess.
What if something gets damaged during construction, like siding or a fence?
Insurance covers accidental damage to a homeowner's property during a deck project. Reporting anything that looks off right away lets it get handled before the job is called finished.
Will you finish a deck that another contractor started or walked away from?
Yes, unfinished decks get taken on, but the existing framing gets checked first for code compliance and soundness before building continues. Sometimes that means redoing footings or joists someone else already installed.
How can I tell if deck work is being done correctly?
Footings should go below the local frost line, joist hangers should be used instead of just nails, and the ledger board should be flashed where it meets the house. Asking a builder to show these details during construction is easier than checking once the decking covers them up.
