Planning a Project in Wisconsin?
Why choose Gamerz Construction?
At Gamerz Construction, we not only want to build you an awesome outdoor space, but an outdoor space that lasts. We do this by using helical pile footings that keep posts above ground and out of moisture. Taping all exposed decking surfaces to protect framing from extra unnecessary rot. On top of this, we use a full PVC decking paired with an aluminum railing to ensure longevity on your investment. We are also a one stop shop, and take the stress of building off your shoulders. We handle permits, designs, utility marking, materials, removal of your existing old deck, up to the cleaning of our site when we are done to ensure an enjoyable, stress free experience!
Why do we use helical pile footings?
We use helical pile footings because they are a steel, 3” diameter and 7’ long ground screw that is galvanized for moisture. This prevents any sort of post being buried in the ground, protecting the most important part of your
Which decking option is best for me?
The ideal choice depends on your lifestyle and long-term maintenance preferences. Composite & PVC decking (such as Timbertech ) offers exceptional durability and requires minimal upkeep, as it resists rot, warping, and splintering—making it an excellent option for busy households. Natural wood decking, on the other hand, provides a classic, timeless appearance at a lower initial cost, though it requires regular staining every 2–3 years to maintain its quality. At Gamerz Construction, we build both options to meet the highest Wisconsin standards.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Most standard-sized decks are completed within 1 to 2 weeks after construction begins. Larger or more complex projects—such as multi-level decks or those with custom pergolas—may require additional time. We provide a detailed and transparent timeline during the initial consultation.
Why use a joist tape?
Using a joist tape in Wisconsin is crucial to getting the most amount of life out of your framing. Tape not only seals and covers every surface and seam on top of the deck, but it also reseals every penetration from nails and screws, protecting your framing more than an open surface deck.
When can I use my new concrete surface?
For standard foot traffic, concrete can typically be used after 24 hours. For driveways or areas supporting vehicles, we recommend waiting 7 to 10 days to ensure the concrete has reached sufficient strength.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. Gamerz Construction manages the entire permitting process on your behalf, working directly with local city or township authorities. We ensure all projects—including decks, concrete work, and pergolas—fully comply with building codes and pass required inspections.
