Get the deck of your dreams this year with help from Miles Bradley Building and Remodeling. We’ve designed custom decks all over the greater Detroit area. We’ve picked a few custom deck projects from the White Lake area that are highlighted below from last year.
Custom Decks White Lake, Michigan

Here you can see a custom-built two-story Trex Transcend Deck. This particular client wanted to have a good view of the second story while allowing for space on their lower-level deck for a place to entertain guests.
The Trex system is great for them because they wanted a low-maintenance deck that won’t fade after years of use. The best part of this design? The beautiful custom Tempered Glass Railings And Under Deck Water Diversion System. Located In White Lake, MI Price $14,000
Here is another wonderful custom deck that we put together in White Lake. It’s right on the water so we designed this deck to highlight the beautiful view of the water.
We used the Trex Transcend Deck so they don’t have to worry about the upkeep and hassle of a traditional wood deck. Another great feature on this deck is the stainless steel cable rail. Sleek, clean, and allows for great views of the lake.
Final Price $18,000

Here is another custom-built deck that was built with the Trex Transcend System. These decks make for great low-maintenance backyard living.
We added lights in the staircase for safe and easy travel up and down the stairs. As you can see from the bottom image, they added lighting on the deck as well. These clients wanted to be able to extend their evenings on their deck.
Located In White Lake, MI.
Price $16,000

‘Tis The Season!
Seasonal decorations are always a fun way to change things up and spice up any living space. But while you’re decorating your interior space for the holidays, don’t forget your outdoor spaces as well. We’re talking about perking up your deck for the holidays, and what better way to do that than with some festive lights! We offer custom deck lighting that can brighten up your festivities, and make your deck that much safer. If you would like a more temporary solution, Christmas tree lights and outdoor decorations will make you the envy of the neighborhood.
What to do with all those decorations once the celebrations are over? Well, it’s very easy to run out of space to store all of your holiday decorations. Miles Bradley has an idea for the perfect place for getting new space!
One of the easiest ways to get extra storage space is by utilizing the space you already have. We are talking about the space you may have under your deck. If you have a deck that is high enough off the ground we can turn that old unused space into a weatherproof storage area for your seasonal decorations, deck furniture, and any other items your garage doesn’t have space for.
We will create the perfect under deck dry space for you that will be properly sealed and prepared for those Midwest winters. This includes a drainage system and insulation so you don’t have to worry about your items being exposed to the elements. We know that a harsh winter could be on our horizon, so make sure your storage spaces are ready for it.
Contact us today to ask about our storage spaces and find out how you can utilize that unused space for your storage needs!
