When you partner with Schonhardt & Sons Home Improvements, you’re not just hiring a contractor—you’re teaming up with seasoned professionals who care about your home as much as you do. With over 30 years of experience and a reputation for superior craftsmanship across the western Twin Cities suburbs, our process is built on trust, communication, and quality from start to finish.
Here’s what you can expect when we bring your new deck to life:
Step 1: Consultation & Custom Design
Every great project starts with a conversation. We begin by meeting with you to understand your space, lifestyle, and budget. Whether you’re looking to entertain, relax, or add value to your home, we’ll design a layout that fits your needs and complements your home’s existing style.
Bonus: We also offer framing and drawing services for DIYers who just need a solid head start.
Step 2: Planning & Permits
Once your design is finalized, we handle all the behind-the-scenes work to move your project forward. Navigating city and county permitting can feel overwhelming, but we’ve done it hundreds of times. Depending on local requirements, this phase typically takes 1–2 weeks.
Step 3: Material Delivery & Preparation
We use only top-quality products from trusted suppliers—like Wolf Decking and STAR Aluminum Railing—so your deck looks great for years and stays strong through Minnesota’s changing seasons. Once permits are in hand, material delivery and site prep usually take about 1 week.
Step 4: Building Begins
With everything in place, we get to work! Thanks to our experienced team and efficient scheduling, most deck builds are completed in 2–3 days, depending on size and complexity. We also install our own Helical Pier Footings, the most stable foundation system available. These code-approved footings eliminate the need for digging, cement curing, and subcontractor scheduling delays—so we can start building the same day they’re installed.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough & Peace of Mind
Before we consider the job done, we do a final walkthrough with you to make sure every detail is just right. You’ll also receive warranty information for your materials and workmanship, giving you peace of mind long after the build is complete.
