Deck Design Ideas to Transform Your Backyard
A thoughtfully designed deck can be the cornerstone of your outdoor living space, offering both function and beauty. At AMC Homes, we specialize in building custom decks that reflect your lifestyle while standing up to Iowa’s seasonal elements. As a trusted remodeling contractor in Dubuque and the surrounding areas, we know what it takes to design a deck that’s as practical as it is stunning.
Types of Decks We Build
Whether you're dreaming of a wraparound veranda or a multi-level deck with built-in seating, AMC Homes has the experience to make it happen. We design and construct:
- Ground-level decks for simplicity and easy access
- Elevated decks with underdeck storage
- Wraparound porches for classic curb appeal
- Multi-level decks for dynamic outdoor entertaining
Materials That Last
We work with top-tier materials including:
- Composite decking: Low-maintenance, long-lasting, and beautiful
- Green treated lumber: Economical and durable
- Cedar and hardwoods: Rich in appearance and naturally resistant to insects and decay
Choosing the right material is essential for ensuring your deck resists Iowa’s rain, snow, and humidity. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each option to match your budget and maintenance preferences.
Additional Features to Consider
A deck is more than just planks and posts. We offer:
- Railing systems (wood, metal, or composite)
- Built-in seating and planter boxes
- Lighting and ceiling fans for comfort and ambiance
- Pergolas or shade structures for sunny days
These enhancements add functionality and visual appeal, making your deck feel like a true outdoor extension of your home.
