Craftsmanship-First Deck Building in Excelsior
Excelsior's older housing stock — including many craftsman and Victorian homes — requires extra care when attaching a deck. We assess existing sill plates, ledger conditions, and foundation types before any work begins, ensuring the new structure is properly integrated. Excelsior also falls within the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District shoreland zone, which affects setback requirements for waterfront properties. We know these rules and build accordingly. Most Excelsior homeowners opt for composite or cedar — finishes that match the premium character of the homes here.
