Custom Decks Built for Montana Living
Trex composite and traditional wood decks, custom-designed and built by a framing crew that gets the structure right. From a simple back deck to a multi-level wraparound, we build outdoor space that stands up to Montana's seasons.
Outdoor Space That Lasts
A good deck does more than add square footage; it's where Montana summers actually happen. But it takes a beating: snow load in winter, intense UV in summer, and freeze-thaw cycles all year. Built right, a deck shrugs all of that off. Built poorly, it sags, splits, and wobbles within a few seasons.
Advanced Custom Builders designs and builds custom decks across the Missoula area in both Trex composite and traditional wood. And because we're framing contractors, the part you don't see is as solid as the part you do: footings, posts, beams, and joists built to carry the load.
A Deck Is Only as Good as Its Frame
Anyone can screw down deck boards. The difference is in the structure underneath and the materials on top. Here's how we build decks that last:
Composite or Wood
We're Trex composite decking specialists, and we also build classic wood decks. Trex is the low-maintenance choice: it resists rot, fading, and splintering, holds up to freeze-thaw, and never needs staining or sealing, just an occasional wash. Wood costs less up front and has a timeless look, but it needs regular sealing to survive Montana weather. We'll walk you through the trade-offs and build whichever fits your budget and how much upkeep you want to take on.

Solid From the Footings Up
A deck that wobbles or sags was built on a weak frame. As framing contractors, the substructure is exactly where we're strongest. We set footings below the frost line so winter heave doesn't shift them, size the posts, beams, and joists to carry real snow loads, and build to local code. By the time the deck boards go down, you've got a platform that's rock-solid underfoot and stays that way.

A Deck Built for Our Climate
Montana asks a lot of a deck: heavy snow loads, harsh summer UV, and freeze-thaw cycles that work joints loose over time. We design and frame for all of it: structure sized for snow, footings set below the frost line, fasteners and flashing chosen to resist moisture, and composite decking that won't fade or splinter in the sun. The result is a deck you can count on every season, not just the first one.
From a Simple Platform to a Wraparound
Whether you want a simple back deck, a multi-level layout, a wraparound that follows your home, or built-in stairs and railings, we build it to fit your space and how you'll use it. We add decks to existing homes, design them into additions, and build them as part of new construction, tied cleanly into the structure either way.

Deck Questions, Answered
We're Trex composite decking specialists, and we also build traditional wood decks. We'll help you choose the material that fits your budget, your look, and how much maintenance you want to take on.
Both work well here; it comes down to maintenance and budget. Trex composite resists rot, fading, and freeze-thaw and never needs staining or sealing, just an occasional wash. Wood costs less up front and has a classic look, but it needs regular sealing to hold up to our weather.
