Here's What They Say
Thunderstruck did a wonderful job with our deck install. They were able to complete it much sooner than expected and the best price in our local area. Kyle was wonderful to work with through the process and his crew was great. Highly recommend Thunderstruck for your decking needs.
Team was super easy to communicate with. Pricing was competitive and the deck looks great. I would highly recommend them for your deck needs!
Thunderstruck did a phenomenal job on our deck. The team was a pleasure to work with, were up front about materials/cost/process, and didn’t try to upsell us on anything. Communication was timely and thorough throughout the entire process, and they worked hard to get everything done from start to finish in a short amount of time. We could not be happier with the finished product.
Had a great experience throughout the entire deck building process. Kyle was easy to work with. While i had ideas of what I wanted, he often challenged me to think about other options, many of which saved us money. Quality of workmanship is top notch. Beau, the builder, was also great to work with. He is a perfectionist, professional and open to last minute changes. They are a great team, and our deck turned out even better than I ever imagined. I'm 100% satisfied, and highly recommend ThunderStruck for your project.
It was a pleasure working with the ThunderStruck team! They did an excellent job from bid to finish. They took the time to explain our options and help us decide on our deck details. They continued to adjust with all the rain challenges and still delivered our project on time. The finished project is exactly what we wanted and we would definitely use them again 🙂
The most quality and affordable deck around. They gave me simple options without the pressure of spending more. The colors and style matched so well that it looks like it was built with the home. Highly recommended.

Composite Decking FAQ
Composite decking holds up much better than wood in Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles. It resists moisture, warping, cracking, and splintering—common issues with pressure-treated lumber. Plus, you don’t need to stain or seal it every year.
Yes, composite decking has a higher upfront cost than pressure-treated wood, but it saves you money long term. You’ll avoid yearly staining, sealing, and replacement boards. Most homeowners find the lower maintenance and longer lifespan well worth the investment.
When installed properly, a composite deck can last 25 to 30+ years—even with snow, rain, and temperature swings. Trex®, Deckorators®, and TimberTech® Azek® all offer long-term warranties, some up to 50 years.
Yes, in most Minnesota cities (including Ham Lake and Andover), permits are required for deck construction. Don’t worry—ThunderStruck Restorations handles all the permitting and code compliance for you.
Some composite boards do get warm in direct sunlight, but newer lines like Deckorators® mineral-based composite and lighter-colored TimberTech® Azek® boards are designed to stay cooler underfoot. We’ll help you choose the right product for your space and sun exposure.
Yes—but gently. Most manufacturers recommend using a pressure washer under 3,100 PSI with a fan tip, and keeping it at least 8 inches away from the surface. In many cases, a garden hose and composite deck cleaner will do the trick.
Composite decks are low-maintenance but not zero-maintenance. You’ll want to sweep regularly, hose it down a few times a year, and clean up any spills or debris to prevent staining or mildew.
Absolutely. We install a wide range of custom railings, integrated lighting, built-in seating, and multi-level stair systems—all designed to match your composite deck and enhance how you use the space.
