Services

Custom Deck Construction

We design and build custom decks using premium materials like KDAT lumber and engineered beams. Our helical pier footings provide superior foundation stability, supporting structures up to 28' spans. Each project includes code compliance verification and permit handling, with financing options available for qualifying clients.

Deck Facelifts

Revitalize aging decks with our facelift services that address weathering and structural damage. We replace worn components while maintaining existing framework integrity. This cost-effective solution extends deck lifespan while updating aesthetics through modern materials and finishes.

Helical Piers

Our helical pier installation creates stable foundations that resist settling and shifting. These steel screw-like supports reach deep stable soil layers, outperforming traditional concrete footings. We offer lifetime warranties on pier systems when installed as part of our deck construction projects.

KDAT Lumber

We use kiln-dried after treatment lumber that minimizes warping and shrinking. This premium material maintains dimensional stability while accepting stains and paints immediately after installation. KDAT lumber provides cost-effective durability for structural components and visible deck elements.

Engineered Beams

Our engineered beam systems enable longer spans between support posts, creating open deck designs. These composite beams combine strength with aesthetic appeal, supporting heavy loads while maintaining clean finished appearances. They integrate seamlessly with helical pier foundations for maximum structural integrity.

Mike was great to work with. Very personable and professional, he kept us in the loop as we planned out our deck construction. He was prompt and courteous and worked cleanly. Our deck is beautiful and seems to be very well constructed. Thanks Mike and Foremost Construction.

Mike and his team did a great job building our deck, we're very happy with it! He kept us updated throughout the process which we appreciated. His team is very friendly, professional and hard working! The deck is exactly what I envisioned and we're glad we went with Foremost Construction.

We went with Foremost after getting 3 other deck bids. We had one bid that was more than twice what this bid was. We wanted to accomplish the job before winter, and were ready to move forward with this project late September and they wrapped up mid November. What we liked most was the money we saved, the guy (Mike) who came to handle measurements and determine materials was the same guy who installed, and he was courteous and professional. We are definitely enjoying our new deck this spring!

Mike and his team did a great job on giving us a wonderful deck to enjoy last summer. He even checked in this spring to check and make sure everything was working as it should. Thanks Mike.
