Tailored Deck Installation Built Around Your Home
The deck you have been imagining is closer to reality than you think. A custom-built deck transforms underused outdoor space into an extension of your home — a place where summer evenings, weekend gatherings, and quiet mornings all feel a little better. Dunn Construction, LLC specializes in custom deck installation that starts with your vision and ends with a structure built to stand up to real use and real weather. We treat every project as a craftsmanship challenge, not a production run, and that difference shows in every finished build.
Our custom deck installation services are available to homeowners throughout Lexington, Kentucky, including established neighborhoods and newer developments across the metro area. We understand the local building environment well — from soil conditions that affect footing requirements to HOA considerations that influence design choices. Serving the full Kentucky area means we bring local knowledge to every job, not just general contracting experience from somewhere else.
A custom project deserves a contractor who plans before they build. Our team works through a structured design and approval process so every client knows what they are getting before a single board is cut. We have completed 300+ outdoor living projects over 12 years, and that track record shapes how we approach every new job — with patience, attention to detail, and a clear process from start to finish. Tell us about your project through our contact page or quote form and we will get the planning process started.

Our Custom Deck Installation Services
Full Design and Planning
Before construction begins, we develop a detailed plan that accounts for your yard's dimensions, your home's architecture, and your lifestyle. Our design process covers material selection, railing styles, stair placement, and layout options so you can visualize the finished deck before we break ground.
Pressure-Treated Wood Decks
Pressure-treated lumber remains one of the most reliable decking materials available, offering strength, affordability, and long-term durability when properly maintained. We frame and surface pressure-treated decks to exacting standards, ensuring tight board spacing, secure fasteners, and structural integrity from the footings up.
Composite and PVC Decking
For homeowners who want a low-maintenance outdoor surface, composite and PVC decking delivers lasting performance without the annual upkeep of natural wood. We install leading composite brands with proper ventilation gaps and correct fastening methods to prevent warping, cupping, and premature wear.
Built-In Seating and Storage
Custom decks can include far more than a flat platform. Built-in benches, storage boxes, and planters make your deck more functional without cluttering the space with furniture. We design and build integrated features that feel like part of the deck rather than add-ons installed after the fact.
Lighting and Electrical Rough-In
Outdoor lighting turns a daytime deck into an evening destination. We coordinate electrical rough-in during the framing phase so post cap lights, step lights, and under-rail lighting can be installed cleanly without cutting through finished boards or running exposed conduit across the surface.
Staircase and Access Design
Well-designed stairs improve how a deck connects to the yard, the home, and any other outdoor structures. We build staircases with proper rise-to-run ratios, secure stringers, and code-compliant railings, making entry and exit safe and comfortable for every member of the household.
Benefits of Custom Deck Installation
Built Around Your Vision
Generic decks come from generic plans. A custom installation is shaped entirely by your preferences — your preferred materials, your layout ideas, your entertaining style, and your budget. The result is an outdoor space that fits your life rather than one you adapt your life around after the fact.
Higher Quality Material Selection
When you go custom, material choices are yours to make with expert guidance rather than whatever a big-box kit includes. We source quality lumber and composite options and help you understand exactly what each material offers in terms of durability, maintenance needs, and long-term appearance under Kentucky weather conditions.
Structural Integrity From the Ground Up
Every custom deck we build starts with a properly engineered foundation. Footings are dug to frost depth, posts are set plumb, and beams are sized for the load they carry. This foundation-first approach is what separates a deck that stays solid for 20 years from one that shifts and settles.
Features That Add Real Functionality
A flat platform is a starting point, not a finished outdoor room. Custom installation gives you the opportunity to add built-in seating, pergola framing, planter boxes, lighting, and other functional elements during the build rather than retrofitting them later at higher cost and lower quality.
Code-Compliant Construction Throughout
Every stage of a custom deck build — from footing depth to railing height to stair geometry — is governed by building codes that protect the homeowner and the occupants. We follow these standards precisely, which means your deck passes inspection, your insurance stays intact, and your family stays safe.
Long-Term Investment Protection
A custom deck built with quality materials and proper techniques retains its value far longer than a quick-build alternative. Tight construction, correct drainage planning, and proper finishing protect the structural components from moisture and rot, extending the life of your investment well beyond what a lesser build could offer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is involved in the custom deck installation process?
The process starts with a site visit and consultation to assess your yard and discuss your goals. From there we move into design, permitting, material ordering, and construction. We keep you updated at every phase and walk you through the finished build before considering the project complete.
Can I choose my own decking materials?
Absolutely. Material selection is one of the most important conversations we have early in the planning process. We present the options best suited to your budget, maintenance preferences, and design goals, then let you make the final call with full information rather than pushing a particular product.
How do I know my deck will be built to code?
We manage the permitting and inspection process from start to finish. Local inspectors review structural elements at key stages of the build, and we do not proceed past any phase until it is approved. Code compliance is built into our process, not something we address after the fact.
What size deck do I need for my backyard?
Deck sizing depends on how you plan to use the space, how many people you want to accommodate, and how your yard's dimensions and topography affect the buildable footprint. We assess all of these factors during the site visit and recommend a size range that fits your goals without overwhelming the yard.
Do you offer warranties on your work?
We stand behind every deck we build with a workmanship warranty. Material warranties vary by manufacturer and product. We explain all applicable coverage during the planning phase so you know exactly what protection you have once construction is complete and the project is signed off.
How far in advance should I schedule custom deck installation?
Scheduling depends on the time of year and our current project load. Spring and summer bookings tend to fill quickly in Lexington. We recommend reaching out a few months before your preferred start date, especially for larger or more complex builds that require extended planning and lead times.
Does Dunn Construction, LLC serve all parts of Lexington, Kentucky for custom deck installations?
Dunn Construction, LLC provides custom deck installation throughout Lexington, Kentucky and the surrounding area. Our 12 years of experience working in this market means we understand local codes, soil conditions, and neighborhood-specific design considerations that affect how each project gets planned and built.
Can you build a custom deck that connects to my existing outdoor structures?
Yes. We regularly design and build decks that connect to patios, pool surrounds, outbuildings, and existing structures. We assess how those connections affect load paths and drainage and engineer the transition so everything integrates cleanly and structurally rather than just physically touching at the seam.
