Custom outdoor living spaces designed and built to hold up to Minnesota weather.
Hugo families tend to know what they want from a backyard. When you choose a community built around lakes and open space, the outdoor build eventually stops being optional. A skilled deck designer in Hugo helps you move from planning to building, whether you are adding a first deck to a newer home, putting in a full outdoor kitchen and pergola, or finally pulling the trigger on the project that has been on your list for a few years.
Midwest Decks is a trusted deck builder in Hugo, MN, and the surrounding northern Twin Cities communities. We have been building across the metro since 1994. Every project is priced once and backed by a ten-year workmanship warranty.
Honest Pricing and Proven Craftsmanship for Hugo Deck Projects
Here is what working with Midwest Decks looks like:
- Three Decades of Local Experience: The Midwest name has been serving the western suburbs of the Twin Cities since 1994. That history means we have refined our process, built lasting referral relationships, and learned how Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles and lake-heavy humidity affect outdoor structures over time.
- An Overbuilding Philosophy: Our founder, Trevor Judd, puts it simply: when in doubt, build it stout. We frame decks, set footings, and choose materials with long-term performance in mind, because a deck that fails in year three costs everyone more than doing it right the first time.
- Preferred Materials Partners: We work primarily with TimberTech and AZEK composite boards, brands we have used long enough to stand behind completely. AZEK was founded in the Twin Cities, which is not a coincidence. We also build with Trex and Deckorators, and we match each homeowner with the material that fits their project, lifestyle, and budget.
- A Warranty That Means Something: If we built it, we will fix it. Every Midwest Decks project carries a ten-year workmanship warranty with no exceptions. On a project of this size, knowing someone will show up if something goes wrong is not a small thing.
- Fixed Pricing, No Surprises: We do not inflate prices after the contract is signed. The number you get at your consultation is the same number on your final invoice. That promise holds across every project, from a single-level composite deck to a full outdoor living build with a pergola and outdoor kitchen.
One Hugo Contractor for Decks, Structures, and Outdoor Living
Outdoor projects go more smoothly when one team is responsible for the whole thing. Midwest Decks designs, frames, and finishes the entire build, from the deck and railings to the pergola, patio, and lighting, so you have a single point of contact from the design conversation through the day the crew packs up and leaves.
A Custom Deck Built Around Your Home, Your Lot, and Your Plans
Hugo’s lots give you room to work with, and we design custom decks to make the most of what you have. Midwest Decks builds in every configuration, including single-level, multi-level, curved, rooftop, pool, and swim-spa designs. As your deck contractor in Hugo, MN, we work with composite boards from TimberTech, AZEK, Trex, and Deckorators, and we also build wood decks for homeowners who prefer traditional materials. Our decking contractor team handles permitting, framing, and installation from start to finish, and every build is backed by our workmanship warranty.
When you are ready to talk through what the project looks like for your yard, we are ready to listen.
Does Your Deck Need a Resurfacing or a Full Replacement?
Not every worn deck needs to be torn down. A reskin strips and replaces the surface, railings, and visible components without disturbing the structural framing underneath, giving you a deck that looks and feels new at a fraction of the cost. We evaluate every resurfacing project honestly before recommending a path; if the framing cannot support it, you will know before any money changes hands.
For decks that are structurally sound but showing their age, resurfacing is almost always the faster and more cost-effective choice.
Railings, Lighting, and Features That Complete the Build
Our deck railings installation covers glass, cable, aluminum, wood, and composite systems, including frameless all-glass designs with no visible posts. We also install deck lighting, custom planter boxes and benches, outdoor bars, and aluminum under-decking with DrySpace waterproofing systems for homeowners who want covered, dry space beneath an elevated deck.
A Pergola or Gazebo That Gives Your Backyard a Destination
As a StruXure Certified Builder, we install StruXure motorized louvered pergolas alongside traditional pergolas, gazebos, and trellis structures. As your gazebo builder and pergola contractor, we design each structure to work with the deck or patio it anchors, framing and finishing it to the same standard we hold for the deck itself.
A motorized louver system lets you stay outside longer when the weather shifts. A fixed pergola or gazebo gives you a defined outdoor room. We build both and can help you decide which fits your yard and your family’s plans.
Screen Rooms and Covered Porches That Add Real Time Outside
As a porch contractor, Midwest Decks builds covered porches and screened porches that are designed as part of the home from the start. Every screen room is framed and finished to the same quality as the main deck structure, adding meaningful time to both ends of your outdoor season.
Hugo summers are worth stretching out as long as possible. A screen room is one of the most practical ways to do it without adding conditioned square footage to the home.
Patios, Outdoor Kitchens, and Full Outdoor Living Builds
Our patio builder services cover paver patios and covered patios. We also design and build outdoor kitchens, fire pits and fireplaces, and three- and four-season rooms. From a simple patio off the back door to a full outdoor living build that anchors the whole yard, Midwest Decks can plan and build the entire project under one contract.
A free design consultation is the right place to start when you are ready to see what your backyard can hold.
