"They did a really good job and they stand behind their work. The prices are competitive and they take pride in their work. I had a really old front door that was not insulated and they put in a new one with plenty of insulation. They also put in a new storm door and a garage side door that meant making a new doorway that's sealed properly. They answered all my questions and were respectful of the property"

"I can t say enough great things about my deck project completed by Dustin, Dave, and the crew at Bear Builders of Michigan. They were excellent from start to finish. They set realistic deadlines for each part of the project to be completed, including final completion and met or finished ahead of each scheduled deadline. They brought every aspect of our design to life. The deck looks exactly like we envisioned. Dave (the builder) is AWESOME! His attention detail is AMAZING! He really no stone unturned. Dustin s communication was OUTSTANDING! He touched base with us every step of the way. Each aspect of the project was carefully explained to ensure our understanding. He even went the extra mile to make some minor repairs to our front porch that he noticed were problematic. I really can t say enough good things regarding how happy I am with the outcome of our deck project. We have received tons of compliments and inquiries on the deck already and it s only been a week since it was completed. If you re looking for an awesome company with awesome people to bring you project to life HIRE BEAR BUILDERS OF MICHIGAN NOW!"

"John Partee came to discuss ideas for fence. He understood what we wanted, gave us a price and time frame. Both were acceptable and he showed up as promised, did the job quickly and professionally. We would hire him again in a heart beat. Great job!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can build a deck over your outdoor HVAC unit, but you need to leave at least 5 feet of vertical clearance above the unit. If you don’t want your deck to be that high off the ground, you could build a floating deck in another part of your yard—again, as long as you leave at least 4 feet of horizontal space between the deck and your AC unit.

You typically don’t need a railing and handrails on a deck that’s less than 30 inches from the ground. However, consider adding them regardless. Railings provide additional safety for you and your guests who use your deck—plus, railings give the deck a more finished look than it would have without them.

Yes, but ensuring the deck has a solid foundation with adequate footings is critical before building, as the weight of a sunroom will put significant pressure on the structure below. Even if your deck is properly constructed, it may not be able to handle the extra weight. While some basic, lightweight, prefabricated sunrooms can sit on a deck with a strong existing foundation without additional supports, in many cases, the foundation and joists will need reinforcement. It is always best to have a structural engineer perform an inspection to evaluate the deck's quality and structural integrity. A professional can help you decide if reinforcement is sufficient or if it's better to tear down the deck and start over.

Pressure-treated decking may be worth it if you want a natural, insect- and rot-resistant decking material that will last for decades with proper maintenance. As such, it’s a much better option than untreated pine. Alternative wood decking materials like cedar and redwood tend to be less durable and more expensive. Some homeowners prefer composite decking, which is a low-maintenance alternative to wood but is also more costly.

Composite decking requires a solid foundation, substructure, or subframe to ensure stability. This base is typically composed of posts, beams, joists, and footings. The frame's joists can be built from various materials like composite, plastic, timber, or metal, as long as the base can support the deck's weight without shifting. A professional deck builder might recommend installing the frame on a solid concrete base for added durability. The final design and materials for the substructure will depend on your budget, the type of deck, and environmental conditions.
