Mount Pleasant, WI — Mount Pleasant homeowners now have access to custom composite deck installation services through Excel Custom Decks, a family-owned contractor with more than 25 years in business and over 5,000 completed projects across the region.

Composite Decking Addresses Wisconsin’s Demanding Climate Conditions
Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and humid summers create conditions that accelerate deterioration in traditional wood deck structures over time. Composite decking materials offer Mount Pleasant homeowners a performance-oriented alternative that resists moisture infiltration, warping, and surface degradation under the seasonal stresses common to southeastern Wisconsin’s climate.
Excel Custom Decks builds with composite and PVC decking products from Trex, Fiberon, TimberTech by Azek, Deckorators, MoistureShield, and Quality Edge, alongside wood options including pressure-treated lumber, cedar, redwood, and exotic hardwoods such as Ipe, Tigerwood, and Cumaru. This material breadth gives Mount Pleasant property owners a full range of performance and aesthetic options suited to their specific project requirements and long-term maintenance preferences.
Custom Deck Design and Construction Serve a Wide Range of Property Configurations
Excel Custom Decks offers 3D deck modeling as part of its design consultation process, providing homeowners with detailed visual representations of proposed structures before construction begins. Deck styles include platform, raised, multi-level, freestanding, rooftop, pool, curved, cantilevered, screened, and covered configurations, along with privacy screens suited to residential lots across Mount Pleasant’s varied neighborhood types.
Framing systems cover wood, steel, and aluminum options, with products sourced from Fortress Building Products, ProWood, and metal post helical pier systems. Our local team manages the full project cycle from design consultation and permit acquisition through foundation installation, framing, and deck construction, reducing the coordination burden on homeowners throughout the build process.
Underdeck Systems and Skirting Options Maximize Structural Value
Excel Custom Decks provides a comprehensive underdeck service offering that converts the space beneath elevated deck structures into functional, protected living or storage areas. Services include underdeck drainage systems, underdeck ceilings, waterproofing solutions, underdeck lighting, enclosed storage, ventilation systems, insulation, pest prevention measures, landscaping integration, flooring options, underdeck railings, and privacy and aesthetic enhancements.
Deck skirting installations include lattice, solid wood panels, horizontal and vertical board options, stone or brick, faux stone panels, vinyl, and composite configurations. These finishing elements provide a complete perimeter presentation while protecting the structural zone beneath the deck from the weather exposure and debris accumulation that affect outdoor structures throughout the Wisconsin seasonal cycle.
Railing, Lighting, and Maintenance Services Complete Full-Service Builds
Excel Custom Decks installs railing systems in wood, composite, glass, vinyl, aluminum, steel, cable, and wrought iron, drawing from brands including Trex, TimberTech, Deckorators, Viewrail, Key-Link, Regal Ideas, Westbury, and AFCO. These railing options address both safety code requirements and the aesthetic preferences of Mount Pleasant homeowners across a range of architectural styles.
Deck lighting services cover design consultation, wiring and electrical work, lighting automation, landscape lighting integration, and weather-resistance fixture upgrades, with products from In-Lite, Tru-Scapes Landscape Lighting, Trex, TimberTech, and Deckorators. Deck inspection, resurfacing, additions, and remodeling services round out the company’s offering for existing structures requiring upgrades or seasonal maintenance attention.
