QUALITY FOR A LIFETIME:
UNLIKE ANY OTHER BUILDER
MOST CONTRACTORS LACK THE ABILITY TO CRAFT A DECK THAT CAN STAND THE TEST OF TIME AND UNFORTUNATELY TIME AND TIME AGAIN WE SEE HOME OWNERS ARE LEFT WITH A POOR QUALITY BUILD BECAUSE THEY DID'NT DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE WHEN HIRING A BUILDER. WHICH IS WHY WE WANT TO PROVE TO OUR CUSTOMERS EXACTLY WHY WE ARE THE BEST !
AT MK DECKS, WE ARE UNIQUE! ONLY USING THE LATEST INSTALLATION METHODS AND TECHNOLOGY, WE ACHIEVE A LEVEL OF PROFESSIONAL QUALITY IN OUR BUILDS THATS SIMPLY GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND OTHER BUILDERS CAPABILITIES. CRAFTING OUR DECKS TO LAST NOT JUST FOR YEARS BUT FOR GENERATIONS!
HOW MK DECKS CRAFTS THE BEST DECKS IN MICHIGAN:
OUR FOUNDATION
WHY INVEST IN A COMPOSITE DECK BOARD WITH A 50 YEAR WARRANTY WHEN YOUR FOUNDATION WON'T LAST AS LONG?
AT MK DECKS WE ARE SPEAR-HEADING THE INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR DECK FOUNDATION SYSTEMS WITH THE USE OF HELICAL PILES- A DEEP SOIL FOUNDATION "SCREW" MADE OF GALVANIZED STEEL.
Helical Pile versus a concrete pier in a seasonal freeze and thaw Demo
MK DECKS
MK DECKS IS ONLY ONE OF THE VERY FEW TrexPRO PLATINUM BUILDERS IN SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN TO OFFER HELICAL PIERS AS THE STANDARD ON EVERY DECK
HELICAL PIERS COMES WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY
HELICAL PIERS ARE GALVANIZED TO RESIST RUST AND CORROSION
HELICAL PIERS KEEP THE WOOD OFF THE GROUND TO ELIMINATE ROT
STANDARD 7' HELICAL PIERS ARE GUARANTEED TO RESIST FROST UPHEAVAL AND RESIST SOIL SETTLING
ENGINEERED HELICAL PIERS SAVE YOU MONEY BECAUSE THEY DO NOT REQUIRE COSTLY DOWNTIME TO WAIT FOR INSPECTIONS AND CONCRETE TO SET. WITH HELICAL PIERS MOST DECKS ARE FRAMED THE FIRST DAY OF CONSTRUCTION MEANING YOUR CONSTRUCTION PROCESS IS EXPEDITED
OTHER BUILDERS
MOST DECK BUILDERS ARE STILL TO STUBBORN TO STEER AWAY FROM CONCRETE FOOTINGS. CONCRETE FOOTINGS...
OFTEN HAVE NO WARRANTY
EXPOSE WOOD TO DIRT AND MOISTURE RESULTING IN GUARANTEED ROT AND DECAY
ARE UNLIKELY TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE DECK
STANDARD 42" CONCRETE FOOTINGS ARE PRONE TO FROST UPHEAVAL AND SOIL SETTLING RESULTING IN UNEVEN DECKS THAT CAN RUIN YOUR EXPENSIVE DECKING AND RAILING
CONCRETE FOOTINGS COST YOU MORE MONEY DUE TO LARGE MESSY HOLES TO BE DUG, DOWNTIME FOR INSPECTIONS, AND DOWNTIME FOR CONCRETE TO CURE
SEAMLESS HEAT-FOLDED COMPOSITE CORNERS
COMPOSITE BASED MATERIALS EXPAND AND CONTRACT WITH THE TEMPERATURE AND HUMINITY OF THE OUTDOORS.
UNLIKE ANY OTHER BUILDER, WE'VE CONQUERED THIS CHALLENGE AND ELIMINATED THE UNSIGHTLY EFFECTS OF THERMAL EXPANSION
MK DECKS
MK DECKS EMPLOYS UNIQUE BUILDING TECHNIQUES TO ENSURE ALL DECKING AND FASCIA CORNERS WILL LAST FOR DECADES
MK DECKS IS THE ONLY TrexPRO PLATINUM BUILDER IN MICHIGAN TO OFFER SEAMLESS HEAT-FOLDED FASCIA CORNERS STANDARD ON ALL TRANSCEND, LINEAGE, AND SIGNATURE DECKS
MK DECKS NEVER MITERS DECKING OR FASCIA, GUARANTEEING THE CORNERS OF YOUR DECK WILL ALWAYS LOOK AS GOOD AS THE DAY THEY WERE INSTALLED
WE ARE SO CONFIDENT IN OUR DECK CORNERS THEY ARE COVERED UNDER OUR CRAFTSMANSHIP WARRANTY
OTHER BUILDERS
MOST DECK BUILDERS UTILIZE IMPROPER BUILDING TECHNIQUES RESULTING IN UNSIGHTLY CORNERS
TREX EXPANDS AND CONTRACTS DUE TO TEMPERATURE CHANGES, LEAVING GAPS, AND WILL NEVER LOOK GOOD AGAIN AFTER ONE TEMPERATURE SWING
MITERS WILL FALL APART EVERY SINGLE TIME AND YOU WILL BE STUCK WITH AN INFERIOR PRODUCT AND NO WARRANTY
PROPER STAIR TREAD INSTALLATION
DECK STEPS ARE THE MOST COMPLICATED PART OF YOUR CUSTOM DECK WITH MANY DIFFERENT DESIGN AND STYLE OPTIONS. AT MK DECKS WE HAVE PERFECTED THE DECK STEP ASSEMBLY PROCESS AND REFINED OUR PRODUCT TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS.
MK DECKS VS. OTHER BUILDERS
MITERLESS FRAMED STEPS
When building steps it is important to avoid the failed "miter" building technique discussed in Step 2 above. At MK Decks we ensure all steps feature butt-joints to prevent issues arising from expansion. By doing so we guarantee your deck steps will not only look great today, but flourish for decades
PROPER FASCIA INSALLATION
By avoiding miters and cutting the outside decorative fascia boards to the shape of the stairs, we guarantee your step fascia will not warp or peel. We pride ourselves on consistently delivering beautiful results on every surface of your step
IMPROPER EXPOSED EDGES
Some TrexPRO Platinum builders leave the edges of "scalloped" deck boards exposed and unpainted. Although this is only a cosmetic defect, it is unsightly, and does not provide good value for your investment
IMPROPER FASCIA INSTALLATION
By mitering deck fascia and not cutting the fascia to the shape of the deck steps some builders expose the finished product to inevitably warp and fall apart
EVERY LAST DETAIL MATTERS
PROFESSIONAL TREX INSTALLERS OFFER PROFESSIONAL DETAILS, BUT MK DECKS TAKES IT EVEN FURTHER!
TRACK SAW CUTS
At MK Decks we pride ourselves on delivering perfectly straight trackcsaw cuts on the edges of all decking
BORDERS AND DIVIDERS
Decks over 20 feet in length cannot be built with a single board covering the entire width. At MK Decks we always use perpendicular divider boards to avoid unsightly joints which will spread apart with temperature swings
LEVELED DECK JOISTS
A lesser known fact about pressure treated lumber is that the width of the board can vary, often as much as 3/4 of an inch. This variance can cause an uneven deck surface (above). The proper deck joist installation method is to order the joist, often simple PT 2x8, from largest to smallest and then plane the difference. This can be time consuming and many builders often ignore the important step, we do not
3D DESIGN RENDERINGS
TO HELP OUR CLIENTS VISUALIZE THEIR NEXT DECK PROJECT, WE CAN USE 3D CAD SOFTWARE TO CREATE A MODEL OF YOUR IDEA AND MAKE ANY REQUESTED CHANGES BEFORE A SHOVEL EVER BREAKS GROUND
