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.

Benefits of basement finishing include:
- Increased property value
- Additional living space

Consultation & Walkthrough
We meet with you to discuss your goals, layout ideas, budget, and how you want to use the basement space.

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