LAKEVILLE, MN – June 25, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Decked Out Construction, a locally owned outdoor living company based in Lakeville, Minnesota, has marked more than five years of designing and building custom decks and outdoor living spaces across the Twin Cities South Metro. The family-owned firm operates under Minnesota Residential Building Contractor License BC807198 and holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
Co-owners Christoph Tisdale and Cooper Soulak built the company around a focus on decks, porches, pergolas, and outdoor living installations rather than general construction, and that specialization has defined its work from the start. From its headquarters at 20730 Holyoke Avenue in Lakeville, Decked Out Construction serves both residential and commercial property owners throughout the south metropolitan area of the Twin Cities.
Tisdale leads sales and client relationships, bringing a business degree focused on entrepreneurship and an approach centered on dependable, clear communication from the first estimate through the final walkthrough. Soulak oversees project management, applying a background in military service to the scheduling, sequencing, and quality control behind each build.
“Every build in this region has to account for Minnesota’s freeze and thaw cycles from the footings up, not as an afterthought,” said Cooper Soulak, co-owner of Decked Out Construction. “Matching the foundation and the framing to each site is what keeps a deck stable over the long term.”
That regional focus shapes how the company approaches each project. Foundations are set below the frost line using concrete footings, helical piers, or Diamond Piers chosen for the soil and load conditions at a given site, while framing and material selections are made to withstand repeated freezing and thawing. Each new project begins with a design consultation and three-dimensional modeling before permits are pulled, which allows property owners to review the structure before construction begins.
The company manages projects from initial design through final inspection, coordinating permitting, material selection, and construction in-house so that property owners work with a single team rather than several subcontractors. Its commercial work extends the same approach to restaurants, offices, and other businesses seeking durable outdoor spaces.
Decked Out Construction builds primarily with composite and PVC decking from manufacturers including Trex, TimberTech by AZEK, Deckorators, and Barrette Outdoor Living, and also offers cedar and IPE hardwood for those who prefer natural wood. Structural framing options include pressure-treated lumber, steel through Fortress Building Products, aluminum, and composite systems. Railing is available in composite, glass, vinyl, aluminum, and cable configurations, and deck lighting is installed with full wiring and automation through In-Lite and Patriot Palo Lighting.
Beyond decking, the firm designs and builds a broad range of outdoor structures. Deck configurations include platform, raised, multi-level, freestanding, rooftop, pool, curved, cantilevered, screened, and covered designs, along with deck rebuilds and replacements. Pergola work spans flat-roof, attached, freestanding, gable, and louvered designs through Struxure and Sun Coast, and porch projects include covered, screened-in, and three-season rooms. The company also installs underdeck systems, patios, privacy screens and walls, fire pits, fireplaces, and outdoor kitchens.
“Treating a backyard as an extension of the home, rather than a standalone project, is what guides the design conversation,” said Christoph Tisdale, co-owner of Decked Out Construction. “More than five years of work across the South Metro has shaped how each space is planned around the way a family actually lives outdoors.”
From its Lakeville base, Decked Out Construction serves communities throughout the Twin Cities South Metro, including Apple Valley, Eagan, Burnsville, Prior Lake, Savage, Farmington, Rosemount, and Inver Grove Heights, with a broader service region that extends across Dakota, Scott, Rice, and Goodhue counties.
