The MK Advantage: Precision in Every Plank. Perfection in Every Deck.

While many deck builders claim to be different, MK truly is. Founded by an engineer with the belief that good is not good enough, we design and build decks to meet the unique structural and environmental challenges of Southeast Michigan. From our helical pier foundation systems to our heat-folded fascia corners and miterless picture-frame detailing, every method we use is intentional, tested, and perfected. The result is unmatched durability, precision craftsmanship, and a deck built to outperform the rest.

The Science of Building Decks Engineered to Last in Michigan

HELICAL PIER FOUNDATION SYSTEMS

The Foundation Is Everything

A strong deck starts from the ground up. That’s why we use helical pier foundation systems as standard on every MK Design and Build deck. Our helical pier system never heaves, never sinks, and never rusts or rots—saving you money and worry. Built to last, backed by a lifetime guarantee.

Why Helical Piers Are Better Than Concrete:

  • Never Heave – Unlike concrete, they resist frost and soil shifts.

  • Never Sink – Engineered to support your deck permanently.

  • Never Rust or Rot – Made from durable, weather-resistant materials.

  • Cost Savings – Faster installation and Labor Savings

  • Guaranteed for Life – Standard MK Lifetime Warranty on every pier on every deck

HEAT-FOLDED FASCIA CORNERS

No one else does it like we do. Our engineers have perfected heat folded fascia corners—because there had to be a better way, and we found it. Traditional fascia corners installed by other builders are guaranteed to crack, warp, or trap water and debris, leading to costly repairs over time. By heat forming the corners, we create a smooth, seamless edge that not only looks flawless but also protects your deck from damage, extends its life, and makes maintenance virtually effortless. It’s the little detail that makes a big difference.

Why Heat-Folded Fascia Corners?

  • LIFETIME WARRANTY
  • Will never split or open up
  • Allow for hidden natural expansion and contraction
  • Protects your investment by making sure your deck always looks as good as the day it was built!

MITERLESS PICTURE FRAME

Just like fascia corners, traditional picture-frame boards on decks are prone to thermal expansion, and mitered corners often pull apart quickly. That’s why we use a miterless picture frame in a herringbone style. This technique keeps corners perfectly tight, eliminates gaps, and creates a stunning, long-lasting visual impact.

Why A Miterless Picture Frame?

  • LIFETIME WARRANTY
  • Will always maintain clean straight gapping
  • Allows for natural thermal expansion and contraction
  • Protects your investment by making sure your deck always looks as good as the day it was built!
