Ensure your backyard retreat lasts a lifetime with expert composite deck installation. At Barefoot Construction, we help homeowners in Ham Lake, Blaine, and the North Metro build maintenance-free “Grounded Sanctuaries.” Composite boards are heavier and more flexible than traditional wood. Therefore, the installation process requires a higher level of structural precision. We specialize in “Seamless Integration.” This ensures your new deck perfectly aligns with your home’s thresholds and architectural style.

We manage the entire construction journey for you. Our team maintains a meticulous job site and provides clear communication at every stage. Trust our local craftsmen to deliver a professional composite deck installation that enhances your lifestyle and home value.

Critical Installation Steps:

  • Substructure Leveling: We use string lines and shims to ensure the frame is perfectly flat.
  • Thermal Gapping: We leave precise 1/8-inch gaps to allow boards to expand in the summer sun.
  • Blocking & Bracing: We install mid-span blocking to prevent joist twisting and ensure a rigid floor.
