Deck Builder in
Royal Oak, MI
In Royal Oak, the yards are smaller and the houses are older — so a deck has to be designed, not just built. Persha Family Construction builds space-smart decks for Royal Oak's bungalow lots: privacy-screened, code-tight, and finished to match a pre-war home.
Why decks in Royal Oak
Royal Oak is dense and walkable, full of 1920s–1940s bungalows and tudors on compact lots near downtown and the Detroit Zoo. That changes the deck conversation: setbacks are tight, neighbors are close, and every square foot counts. We design around the lot lines with built-in benches, privacy screens, and wrap-around steps that make a small footprint feel like an outdoor room.
A lot of Royal Oak homes have second-story doors and walkout grades begging for an elevated deck or balcony. We frame those off the structure with properly flashed ledgers and code-compliant guard rails — the details a Royal Oak inspector will absolutely check.
Because the lots are small, demo and access are half the job. We protect the neighbor's drive, haul the old deck out clean, and keep a tidy site — which matters when your build is fifteen feet from the house next door. Permits run through the City of Royal Oak Building Division.
