Deck builders in Brandon
Decks for homes on the east side of the metro, between Split Rock Creek and the Big Sioux.
Brandon is a Minnehaha County city about five miles east of Sioux Falls, sitting along the Big Sioux River and Split Rock Creek. It had 11,048 residents at the 2020 census, up about 26 percent from 2010, and it only incorporated in 1973. We connect Brandon homeowners with independent deck builders for new decks, rebuilds, composite surfaces and railings.
Homes and lots in Brandon
Brandon was a town of a few hundred people in 1950 and grew fastest in the 1960s, so most of its housing is from the second half of the twentieth century or newer. That means plenty of decks that are now 20 to 40 years old and due for a look at the ledger, the footings and the railings. Lots near the creek and the river can have more grade change than the flat ground farther out, which can call for a taller deck or a two-level layout.
What Brandon homeowners often want
- Rebuilds of decks from the 1980s and 1990s
- Larger decks for families who use the yard a lot
- Low-maintenance boards and aluminum railings
- Covered decks for shade on the south and west sides
Close to the river parks
Big Sioux Recreation Area, a state park with trails and campsites along the river, sits right by town. If your lot backs onto open ground or trees, think about the view when you set the deck height and railing style. Cable or aluminum railings block less of it.
Who handles permits?
Brandon is its own city, so deck permits go through the City of Brandon rather than Sioux Falls. Ask your builder to confirm the city's requirements and frost depth before digging.
