Omaha's owner-operated deck specialists since 2015. We're best known for repairs that save homeowners thousands — but we also design and build brand-new decks from the ground up. Honest assessments either way.
Most decks we see have a solid structural core. The decking, railings, or stairs may be tired — but the rest is fine. A targeted repair saves you thousands and keeps perfectly good lumber out of the landfill.
Pay only for what actually needs fixing — not for tearing out what still works.
Most repairs are done in 1–5 days. New builds take 2–4 weeks of disruption.
A well-done repair extends your deck's usable life by a decade or more.
No demolition, no dumpsters, no torn-up landscaping. Just fix what's broken.
From a few rotted boards to a complete rebuild of railings and stairs — we handle the work that brings tired decks back to life.
Swap out rotted, split, or warped boards without touching the structure underneath.
Wobbly, broken, or out-of-code railings — fixed or fully replaced for safety.
Rotted joists, failing posts, sagging beams — we fix the bones, not just the surface.
Stairs take the most wear. We rebuild them safer, sturdier, and to code.
Modern fasteners, hangers, and brackets that hold up to Nebraska weather.
When you're ready for a fresh start, you get a deck custom-designed around your home, your yard, and how you actually live. Same builder from first sketch to final walkthrough.
Bespoke layouts shaped around your space, your sightlines, and the way you use your yard.
Trex, TimberTech, and other premium composite options. No splinters, no staining, decades of warranty.
Natural wood beauty with character that ages gracefully. Classic decking, done well.
Complex layouts, level transitions, and decks that wrap your home — engineered to last.
Built to handle the weight, drainage, and code requirements of a hot tub or pool deck.
Pergolas, built-ins, lighting — turn your deck into your favorite room of the house.
We'd rather save you money on a repair than push you into a new build you don't need. Here's how every project starts.
Aaron comes out, looks at your deck top-to-bottom, and tells you exactly what's failing — and what's still solid.
You get a written, itemized quote within 48 hours. If a repair makes more sense than a rebuild, we'll say so.
Most repairs done in 1–5 days. We clean up every day and walk you through the work before we leave.
From quiet repairs to full builds, here's a sample of what we've done across the Omaha metro.
Whether we're replacing a few boards or rebuilding a section, we match what's there or upgrade you to something better.
The classic. Sturdy and economical — great for structural repairs and board replacements.
Beautiful grain, naturally resistant to rot. A great upgrade when replacing tired pine boards.
No splinters, no staining, no sanding. The ultimate "fix it once" upgrade.
I've been working on decks across the Omaha metro since 2015. Over the years I've seen too many homeowners get pushed into full replacements when a focused repair would have done the job for a fraction of the cost.
That's why AB Craftsman exists. When you call, you get me — not a sales rep. I'll look at your deck honestly, tell you what actually needs fixing, and do the work myself. No upsells. No surprise charges. Just craftsmanship and straight talk.
"Aaron and his crew built us a beautiful composite deck off the back of our house. Quality work, fair price, and they cleaned up every day. Couldn't be happier."
"Two other companies told us we needed a brand-new deck. Aaron came out, showed us our joists were fine, and replaced just the boards and railings. Saved us thousands."
"Our stairs were rotting and our railings were loose — Aaron rebuilt both in three days. Way more affordable than the other quotes I got, and the work is rock solid."
If you're within ~30 miles of downtown Omaha, we'd love to come take a look at your deck.
That's exactly what our free on-site assessment answers. As a rule of thumb: if your structure (joists, beams, posts) is mostly solid and only the boards, railings, or stairs are failing — repair is almost always the right call. If the structure itself is rotted or out of code, then replacement may make more sense. Aaron will give you a straight answer either way.
Most repair jobs land between $800 and $6,000. A handful of rotted boards swapped out runs $800–$1,500. A full railing replacement is usually $1,500–$3,500. A complete stair rebuild is typically $2,500–$5,000. We give you a written, itemized estimate so you know exactly what each piece costs.
Most repairs are completed in 1–5 days, depending on scope. A board swap-out is often a single day. Railings and stairs typically take 2–3 days. We'll give you a realistic timeline up front.
Usually no — straight repairs and like-for-like replacements typically don't require permits in Omaha or surrounding municipalities. If we're doing structural work that changes the deck's footprint or load, we'll let you know and handle the paperwork.
Both. We're best known for repair work — but we design and build new decks from the ground up too. If you already know you want a new deck, we'd love to talk. If you're not sure whether to repair or replace, we'll come out and give you an honest recommendation.
Repairs typically book 1–3 weeks out. New builds usually 3–6 weeks. Spring and early summer fill up quickly, so reach out early if you're hoping to enjoy your deck this season.
Check, cash, or credit card. We typically take a deposit to schedule the job and collect the balance on completion — or in milestones for larger builds. We'll walk you through it during your estimate.
Free, no-pressure assessment. Honest recommendation. Same person every step of the way.
