Built Around Honest Work & Quality Craftsmanship

DG Decks & Carpentry was founded by Cody McCutcheon after more than 15 years of hands-on construction experience. His background includes framing, remodeling, rental property renovations, carpentry, and construction management.

Basement finishing became one of the company's core services because it allows homeowners to dramatically improve their living space while keeping construction more contained and less disruptive than major whole-home remodeling projects.

Cody enjoys basement projects because they allow for efficient project flow, practical layouts, and custom solutions while still giving homeowners a major transformation inside their home.

When you work with DG Decks & Carpentry, you work directly with the owner throughout the project. Homeowners appreciate the straightforward communication, honest recommendations, and hands-on approach that comes with an owner-operated company.

Basement Remodeling Designed Around Real Life

This allows projects to move efficiently while minimizing interruptions to daily life.
