About Dream Decks
Family-owned deck builder serving Minneapolis–Saint Paul. We build quality decks that last.
Our Story
Dream Decks started with a simple belief: homeowners deserve deck builders who care about quality as much as they do. Founded by Vlad and Gaby, our company has grown from a small operation to one of the trusted deck contractors in the Twin Cities metro area.
We specialize in custom deck design and construction, using premium materials from Trex, TimberTech, AZEK, and quality lumber suppliers. Every deck we build reflects our commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Our team handles projects of all sizes, from backyard decks to commercial developments with dozens of units. We manage every aspect of construction, including permits, inspections, and final walkthroughs.
