Commercial deck work in Dearborn
Balconies, stairs, and commercial decks around Dearborn, rebuilt to code by a Detroit based crew and priced from the published cost guide. Call (313) 285-3323 or send the form below.
Dearborn’s commercial deck stock splits into two worlds. The hospitality side, hotels and banquet properties clustered around Ford’s campus and Fairlane, maintains patios, pool decks, and exterior stairs to brand standards, because a corporate travel contract does not tolerate a closed amenity. The rental side, apartment buildings through east and west Dearborn, maintains balconies and stair towers to the city’s rental inspection program, which actually looks.
Detroit Deck Rebuild serves both. Hotel work gets scheduled around occupancy, quoted with the finish quality a flag inspection expects, and built with the waterproofing details that pool and amenity decks demand. Apartment work gets the rental-inspection treatment: structural corrections that clear the violation, documentation for the file, and phasing that keeps every unit accessible while its balcony or stair is rebuilt.
Both worlds get the same published numbers. The cost guide prices structural rebuilds by the square foot and balconies and stair towers by the unit, so an engineering manager or a landlord can budget before the first meeting, and the invoice tracks the quote that came off that page.
Why the early flag is the cheap flag
Dearborn’s rental inspections catch exterior wood problems earlier than most metro cities, which is genuinely good for owners: a balcony flagged for soft decking this year is a repair, while the same balcony ignored for five more winters is a rebuild with structural surprises. The cheapest year to fix exterior wood is always the year it is first flagged.
Dearborn’s two markets
The work comes from the hotel cluster near Ford WHQ, Michigan Avenue commercial blocks, east Dearborn apartment streets, the Fairlane area office stock, covering ZIPs 48120, 48124, 48126, 48128. If your property stands near those, we have probably already worked a structure within sight of it.

Dearborn property questions
Can you rebuild a hotel patio without closing the amenity all season?
Yes, with phasing and calendar honesty. Hotel decks rebuild in sections behind proper construction screening, or in full during the property’s slowest window, and the schedule is written around occupancy data rather than contractor convenience. Most amenity decks can be kept partially open through the work.
Our apartment building got a rental inspection violation for the balconies. What now?
A walkdown first, because violations describe symptoms and the fix has to address the structure underneath. We scope the actual repair, pull the permit, do the work, and hand back the documentation that clears the violation with the city. Owners with response deadlines get scheduled accordingly.
Do you replace wood decks with composite on commercial properties?
Often, yes. Composite surfaces and aluminum or steel rails cost more up front and repay it in rental and hospitality settings through near-zero surface maintenance. The framing underneath stays engineered wood either way, and the cost guide carries both surface options so the trade-off is a number, not a mystery.
Who handles permits and engineering?
We do, inside the contract: permit application, engineered details where spans or loads require them, inspection scheduling, and closeout. Dearborn reviews commercial structural work with real attention, and a contractor who treats the permit as your problem is telling you something.
