Custom Deck Design and Construction

A well-built deck is more than a surface—it’s the foundation of your outdoor living. We specialize in custom deck construction that enhances your home’s value, provides lasting comfort, and looks great for years to come.

Choose from a variety of materials and design options:

  • Pressure-treated wood decks for affordability and a timeless look.
  • Composite decking for low maintenance and high durability.
  • Cedar and redwood decks for natural resistance and warmth.

We take care of every step—from design and framing to sealing and finishing—ensuring your new deck is safe, sturdy, and perfectly matched to your home’s style.

Pergolas That Add Shade, Style, and Character

A custom pergola can transform a plain backyard into a sophisticated outdoor retreat. Whether you want to create a shaded sitting area or define your patio with architectural flair, Modern Home Upgrades can design and build a pergola that enhances your home’s character.

We offer a variety of options, including:

  • Freestanding pergolas for gardens and patios.
  • Attached pergolas that extend directly from your home.
  • Wood, vinyl, or composite materials to match your deck and budget.

Add custom touches like string lighting, fans, or climbing vines for a beautiful and functional outdoor setup. Every pergola we build is carefully measured and constructed to last, giving you both comfort and style all year long.
