Built By an Owner Who Actually Cares About the Work
DG Decks & Carpentry was founded by Cody McCutcheon after more than 15 years of hands-on construction experience. Cody's background includes construction management, house framing, remodeling work, rental property renovations, and finish carpentry.
Deck building became the main focus because it combines structural framing with detailed finish work while allowing homeowners to continue living comfortably during construction. Unlike large remodeling projects that take over the entire home, deck projects are less disruptive and allow projects to move efficiently while still delivering a major improvement to the property.
When you work with DG Decks & Carpentry, you are not dealing with salespeople or multiple project managers. Cody handles the estimate, communication, planning, and much of the work himself. Customers appreciate having direct communication with the owner throughout the process.
Our goal is simple
Deliver high-quality deck construction with honest pricing, strong communication, and craftsmanship homeowners can trust.
Custom Deck Construction Services
Every deck project is different. Some homeowners want a simple space for grilling and relaxing while others want a larger outdoor area for entertaining friends and family. We take the time to understand how you want to use the space and help guide material and design decisions that fit your goals and budget.
Composite Deck Construction
Composite decking has become one of the most popular choices for homeowners in Nebraska because of its durability and low maintenance requirements. DG Decks & Carpentry builds composite decks using trusted products like TimberTech and Trex.
Composite decking offers several benefits:
- Low maintenance
- Long-lasting durability
- Resistance to rot and moisture
- Minimal staining or sealing requirements
- Clean, modern appearance
- Wide variety of color options
Cody often recommends TimberTech products because of their quality and local availability, helping keep projects efficient while still delivering a premium final product.
Cedar Deck Construction
Cedar decks remain a popular option for homeowners who want a natural wood appearance with timeless character. Cedar offers a warm, authentic look that works well with many Nebraska homes and outdoor spaces.
Our cedar deck construction services include:
- Custom cedar deck framing
- Stair construction
- Handrails and guardrails
- Deck board installation
- Custom sizing and layouts
- Outdoor living integration
We focus on proper framing and structural integrity to help maximize the life of your cedar deck.
Pressure-Treated Wood Decks
Pressure-treated decks are often a cost-effective solution for homeowners looking to improve their outdoor space without moving into premium composite materials.
These decks still require quality craftsmanship and proper installation to perform well over time. We take the same approach to treated lumber decks as we do with any custom project by focusing on:
- Proper framing
- Correct spacing
- Secure fastening
- Clean finishing details
- Strong structural support
- Safe stair and railing construction
Custom Deck Design & Layouts
Many homeowners are not completely sure what they want when they first call. That is completely normal. During the consultation process, Cody walks through the space with homeowners, discusses ideas, reviews materials, and helps create a practical layout that fits both the property and the homeowner's goals.
Projects may include:
- Single-level decks
- Multi-level decks
- Wraparound decks
- Entertainment spaces
- Outdoor dining areas
- Stair systems
- Integrated seating areas
- Custom railings
- Backyard gathering spaces
Our goal is to create a deck that feels like a natural extension of the home.
