OVERVIEW
Decks Built for How You Live
Every deck starts with a conversation. How do you want to use it — morning coffee, big family cookouts, a quiet spot off the back door? How much space do you have, and how much maintenance do you actually want to do? Those answers shape everything: layout, size, materials, and railing style.
A-Team Exteriors is a local, family-run company based in Breckenridge, MN, serving Wahpeton, ND and nearby communities. We bring over 35 years of combined experience to every project, and we build decks the way we’d build them on our own homes — solid framing, proper footings, and materials chosen to survive freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, and hot summers.
Deck Materials We Build With
The material you choose affects how your deck looks, how long it lasts, and how much upkeep it needs. We build with three main options and will give you an honest comparison during your free estimate.
Gutter Installation
OPTION 1
We form and install seamless aluminum gutters custom-fit to your home, whether it’s a new build or a first-time addition. We’ll size the system correctly for your roof area and local rainfall so water actually gets where it needs to go.
Trex Decking
OPTION 2
Trex is one of the most trusted names in composite decking, and for good reason. It won’t rot, warp, splinter, or need staining, and it holds its color year after year. You get a low-maintenance deck that handles snow, rain, and sun without the annual work a wood deck demands. It costs more up front, but many homeowners find it pays for itself in saved maintenance.
Composite Decking
OPTION 3
We form and install seamless aluminum gutters custom-fit to your home, whether it’s a new build or a first-time addition. We’ll size the system correctly for your roof area and local rainfall so water actually gets where it needs to go.
Not sure which is right for you? We’ll walk you through the trade-offs — cost, maintenance, and lifespan — with no pressure either way.
Deck Stairs & Railing Installation
Stairs and railings aren’t afterthoughts — they’re the parts of a deck people touch every day, and the parts that have to be right for safety. We build and install deck stairs with properly cut stringers, solid footings, and comfortable rise and run, so they feel secure underfoot for years.
For railings, we install everything from classic wood to low-maintenance composite and vinyl systems, matched to your deck and your style. Whether you need railings as part of a new build, a set of stairs added to an existing deck, or old railings replaced because they’ve loosened over time, we handle it.
If your deck itself is solid but the stairs or railings have seen better days, that’s often a straightforward fix — ask us about it during your free estimate.
Our Deck Services
New Deck Construction
Custom-designed and built from the ground up — footings, framing, decking, stairs, and railings. We’ll design around your home’s layout and the way you want to use the space.
Deck Replacement
If your existing deck is rotting, sagging, or simply past its life, we’ll tear it out and build you a new one. Replacement is also the perfect time to upgrade from wood to a low-maintenance composite or Trex surface.
Deck Repairs
Loose boards, wobbly railings, damaged stairs, or a section of rotted framing don’t always mean starting over. We’ll take a look and give you an honest answer about whether a repair or a full replacement makes more sense.
PRICING FACTORS

Deck pricing varies widely because no two projects are the same. We provide a free, no-obligation estimate on every job. Here’s what drives the cost:
Deck pricing varies widely because no two projects are the same. We provide a free, no-obligation estimate on every job. Here’s what drives the cost:
- Size and shape — Square footage, plus how many corners, angles, or levels
- Material choice — Wood is the most budget-friendly; Trex and composite cost more up front but need far less maintenance Height off the ground — taller decks need more framing and footings
- Stairs — How many sets, how many steps, and where they land
- Railing style — Wood, composite, or vinyl systems each price differently
- Tear-out — Removing and disposing of an existing deck
- Site conditions — Sloped ground, soil, and access all affect the work

FAQS
Deck Building Questions
How much does it cost to install a deck?
It depends on size, material, height, and how much stair and railing work is involved. A simple ground-level wood deck sits at one end of the range, while a large multi-level composite deck with custom railings sits at the other. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you get a real number for your specific project rather than a guess.
Is composite decking worth it compared to wood?
It depends on how you weigh cost against maintenance. Wood is cheaper up front but needs regular cleaning, sealing, or staining to stay in good shape. Composite and Trex cost more initially but resist rot, splintering, and fading, and need little more than an occasional wash. If you’d rather spend weekends on your deck than working on it, composite usually wins.
Do I need a permit to build a deck?
In most cases, yes — deck permits and inspections are typically required, and requirements vary between Minnesota and North Dakota and between local jurisdictions. We’ll let you know what’s needed for your project and location so nothing gets missed.
When is the best time of year to build a deck?
Late spring through early fall is ideal in our region, with ground conditions and weather working in your favor. That said, planning ahead matters — booking early means you’re not waiting through the busiest stretch of the season. If you’re thinking about next summer, now is a good time to start the conversation.
How long does a deck last?
A well-built wood deck typically lasts 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance, while composite and Trex decks often last 25 to 30 years or more with far less upkeep. Quality framing and proper footings matter as much as the surface material — that’s what keeps a deck solid underneath.
Do you install stairs and railings?
Yes. Stairs and railings are part of most of our deck projects, and we also install or replace them on existing decks. We work with wood, composite, and vinyl railing systems and build stairs with proper stringers and footings.
Can you repair my existing deck instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. Loose boards, damaged stairs, wobbly railings, and isolated rot can usually be repaired. If the framing or footings underneath have failed, replacement is typically the better long-term investment — and we’ll tell you honestly which situation you’re in.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. A-Team Exteriors provides free, no-obligation estimates for all deck projects. Call (218) 955-5075 or request your estimate online.
