Looking for cedar & wood deck building in Columbia Heights, MN? MN Tree Pros has been serving Columbia Heights and the surrounding Twin Cities metro since 2008. We're licensed, insured, and locally owned — and we actually pick up the phone.
## Cedar decks Cedar is the classic Minnesota deck: warm color, naturally rot and insect resistant, cooler underfoot than composite in July, and it can be sanded and refinished years down the road. ### How we build - Footings **below frost depth** (42 in+) sized to the load, inspected before pour - Treated framing and joists with joist tape so water does not sit on the wood - Cedar decking, hidden or face fasteners, cedar rail or black aluminum rail - Flashing at the ledger — the detail that causes rot and deck failures when skipped - Stairs, landings, and permit and inspection ### Typical cost | Scope | Installed | |---|---| | Cedar deck, simple rectangle | $40 – $60 per sq ft | | Multi-level or wrap-around | $55 – $85 per sq ft | | Add stairs, benches, pergola | Priced separately | ### Maintenance Let new cedar dry a season, then stain or seal, and re-coat every 2 to 3 years in our sun and snow. Maintained, a cedar deck runs 20+ years; neglected, it grays and checks in five.
