Kohler Construction LLC builds new decks and reskins worn ones for homeowners across Macomb County and Southeast Michigan.
Deck Building and Reskin Services for Michigan Homeowners
A new deck build is what you need when you're adding an unattached backyard structure, extending your home's living space outdoors, or replacing a rotting or original deck entirely from the footings up. Kohler Construction LLC handles deck construction for homeowners throughout Macomb County, and you can see completed deck projects to get a feel for our work.
A deck reskin replaces worn decking boards, railings, and stair treads while reusing a structurally sound frame underneath. It's the right call when boards are warped, splintering, or faded but the joists and posts holding everything up are still solid. Skipping a full rebuild in these cases saves time and money without cutting corners on safety.
How the Deck Build and Reskin Process Works
Consultation and site assessment. We walk your yard, check the soil and structure, and talk through style and budget so the plan fits your home and your wallet.
Design and material selection. We help you choose decking material, railing style, and layout to match your home and how your family plans to use the space.
Permitting and construction. We secure any required township permits, then build or reskin on the agreed timeline with close attention to proper footings, framing, and fastening.
Final walkthrough and cleanup. We inspect the finished deck together with you and leave your site clean.
What Affects the Cost of a Deck Project
Deck pricing varies by size, material, and site conditions, so numbers you see online rarely hold up. An in-person assessment is the only way to get an accurate price for your project.
Size and layout
Square footage and shape, including multi-level or wraparound designs, change labor and material needs.
Material choice
Pressure-treated lumber, composite, or premium hardwood carry different price points and lifespans.
Site conditions
Grading, existing structure removal, and access all affect how long the labor takes.
New build vs. reskin
A reskin reuses the existing frame and typically costs less than a full rebuild, but only when the frame passes inspection.
Common Questions About Deck Building and Reskinning
How do I know if my deck needs a full rebuild or just a reskin?

Most residential deck builds take one to two weeks depending on size and weather, with permitting timelines added on top of that.Do I need a permit to build or reskin a deck in Michigan?
Most new deck builds require a township permit, while simple reskins that don't change the structure often don't. Kohler Construction LLC handles the permitting process for you.What decking materials hold up best to Michigan winters?
