Custom Deck Builder
Decks Built to Last Through Iowa Seasons
A deck takes more of a beating in Iowa than people expect, baking summer sun, heavy snow load, the freeze-thaw cycle grinding away at it year after year. Xtreme's been doing exterior work in Central Iowa since 1998, and decks have always been part of that mix alongside the roofing and siding. Same approach either way: we inspect first, give you an honest estimate, and go from there.
Deck Services
Deck Design & Installation
From a simple platform deck to a multi-level outdoor living space, we walk through layout, material, and budget before anything gets built.
Deck Replacement
Rotted framing, a failing ledger board, boards that are just worn through, once a deck's past saving, we tear it out and build it right.
Deck Remodeling
Maybe you just want more space, better railing, some lighting, or an older deck that needs a refresh without starting from scratch.
Deck Materials
Composite Decking
Costs more going in, but you're not out there staining and sealing it every summer. For a lot of people, that trade-off is worth it.
Wood Decking
The classic look, if you don't mind the upkeep that comes with it.
Patio Decks
A lower, simpler outdoor space for a smaller yard, or for homeowners who just want something understated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions from Urbandale and Central Iowa homeowners planning a new deck.
Contact XtremeEvery deck project is different. Material, site conditions, weather, and the size of the build all play a role in the timeline. Xtreme will give you a clear timeline as part of your estimate, so you know what to expect before work begins.
Composite costs more upfront but needs little to no yearly maintenance and holds up well against Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles. Wood costs less upfront but needs regular staining, sealing, and more frequent repairs over time.
Most deck projects require a building permit, depending on size, height, and attachment to the home. We handle permitting as part of the project so you don't have to navigate that process yourself.
Often, yes. If the framing and ledger board are solid, we can usually replace boards, railing, or stairs without tearing the whole thing out. We'll give you an honest read on which one actually makes sense once we take a look.
Yep, both. New builds start from scratch with full design input, existing homes usually mean matching the deck to however the house is already laid out.
