Deck Builder in Minnetonka, MN

Two Teacher Construction has been building decks throughout Minnetonka and the Lake Minnetonka area since 1996. From lakefront homes near Gray's Bay to established neighborhoods around Glen Lake and Shady Oak, we've worked with the full range of properties this city has to offer.

Minnetonka is one of the most varied markets we work in. Older custom homes from the 60's and 70's, premium new construction, and lake-adjacent properties complex grading and landscaping all sit within the same city. The right deck design starts by evaluating the specific lot and the specific home, not a generic template, and nowhere is that more true than right here.

Site-Specific Deck Design

Minnetonka lots come with a lot of variables. Grade changes, mature trees, water views, and setback constraints from lake or wetland buffers all get factored in. Before we draw anything, we walk the property and figure out what's actually possible. The best decks we've built in Minnetonka all started with that site visit.

Composite Decking

Composite is the default choice for most new builds in Minnetonka. We offer almost every available composite decking product for install, including TimberTech, Azek, Trex, and Deckorators, with the higher-end product lines especially popular here because they hold up visually against the surrounding architecture and landscaping. Composite is also the right answer if you're replacing an aging wood deck that's reached the end of its life.

Screen Porches & Three-Season Rooms

If you want to actually use your outdoor space in July and August without sharing it with the mosquitoes, a screen porch is the answer. We design and build them as full additions, integrated with your home's roofline and finishes, not bolted on as an afterthought. Optional features include fireplaces, ceiling fans, and integrated lighting.

Pergolas & Shade Structures

Pergolas add architectural weight, and provide shade where you need it. We've added them freestanding over patios or attached to the home above a deck, in materials that complement your existing structure. Privacy walls work the same way, while also blocking sightlines from your next-door neighbors.

Deck
Lighting

We run deck lighting during construction so everything is tucked in and tidy. Post cap lights, riser lights, and under-rail LEDs all wire through the railing and framing of your new deck. The end result looks seamless, and extends how long you actually use the deck into the evening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you build decks in Minnetonka?
Yes, regularly. Minnetonka is one of our core service areas and we've built composite decks, screen porches, and pergolas throughout the city, from lakefront properties to inland subdivisions.
Can you build a deck on a lakefront property?
Yes, and we've done plenty of them. Lakefront builds in Minnetonka come with extra considerations: shoreline setbacks, grade, sightlines from the water, and DNR/watershed permit requirements. We handle all of it as part of the project.
What about properties with significant grade changes?
Common in Minnetonka, especially closer to the lake. Multi-level decks, integrated stair systems, and footing placement all need careful planning on a sloped site. It's the kind of project where experience matters.
Do you pull permits with the City of Minnetonka?
Always. Minnetonka requires a building permit for attached decks, and we handle the permit application as part of every project.
How much does a deck cost in Minnetonka?
Material, size, elevation, railings, and built-ins all drive price. Many of our Minnetonka builds land in the premium range because homeowners here prioritize higher-grade composite, custom railing systems, and integrated lighting. Contact us for an estimate specific to your project.
How busy are you during the spring and summer season?
Very. If you're targeting a deck you can use this summer, the conversation should start as early as possible. Fall and winter inquiries get us on site for spring builds.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, through Hearth. You can check loan options without affecting your credit. Ask about it when we meet.
What other towns near Minnetonka do you serve?
Plymouth, Wayzata, Deephaven, Excelsior, Shorewood, Hopkins, St. Louis Park, Eden Prairie, and the broader Twin Cities metro.
