20+ years building composite and custom wood decks across Waunakee, McFarland, Monona, and the greater Madison area. Written scope. Committed start date. Done before summer.
There are 41 deck contractors in the Madison market. Most of them exist for one season. We've been building decks across Waunakee, McFarland, Monona, Cottage Grove, and the greater Madison area for over two decades — through every freeze-thaw cycle Wisconsin can throw at a ledger board.
We give every homeowner a written scope, a committed start date, and a materials spec before any money changes hands. That's been our standard for 20 years. It's why our reviews mention it by name.
"Tuff Deck replaced our entire 480 sq ft deck in under a week. Written estimate, showed up when they said they would, left the yard cleaner than they found it. My neighbor asked for their number before the crew even left."
From composite deck installations to full pergola builds and fence systems — one contractor, one mobilization, no second call.
Premium composite builds in Trex, Fiberon, and TimberTech — engineered to handle Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles without warping, splintering, or annual maintenance. Most popular: 400–600 sq ft attached decks in Waunakee and McFarland neighborhoods.
Most Requested →New construction in wood, composite, or treated lumber. Floating, attached, multi-level, and wraparound configurations. Every build starts with a site assessment and footing plan sized for Dane County frost depth.
Full tear-off and rebuild of aging wood decks. We handle demo, disposal, structural inspection, and the new build in one mobilization — typically under one week for standard residential replacements.
Freestanding and attached pergola structures built to complement your deck in the same mobilization. Stop paying two contractors. We rough-in your future pergola during the deck build so adding shade later costs a fraction.
Privacy fencing across wood, vinyl, and composite materials. Deck and stair railings as standalone projects or bundled into your deck build. Cable, glass, and traditional balusters available.
Screened and open covered porch additions, plus structural carport construction. Attached or freestanding. Permit-pulled, code-compliant, and built to the same standard as our deck work.
Most contractors give you a ballpark and a handshake. We give you everything in writing before a dollar changes hands.
Four clear steps. No surprises. No mid-project phone calls about unexpected costs.

Crew on-site on the committed date. Daily progress. Clean site at the end of each day. Most deck replacements done in under one week. You're ready for summer.
A composite or wood deck built to your spec, with a committed start date and a written project scope — completed on time and within budget, or we tell you exactly why before a single board is touched. That's been our standard for over 20 years in the Madison market.
