Composite decks, aluminum and iron rail, covered decks, and stairs that don't bounce. Callaway Construction Inc. builds decks across the Omaha metro that are engineered for Nebraska winters and finished to look good from the yard and the kitchen window.
A deck is a structure first and a finish second. Ours start with footings below the frost line, framing sized for the span, and ledger connections that keep water out of the house. Then we put the good stuff on top: composite decking that doesn't need staining, black aluminum or iron rail, and stairs built to a landing that makes sense.
New decks, replacements of a deck that's past saving, covered decks with a roof tied into the house, and multi-level decks on walkout lots. Cedar if you want the real thing.
Owner-run since 1995. Chris Cannon bids the job, runs the job and answers the phone. One crew, one point of contact, no surprises.
Everything from the first walkthrough to the last coat of paint, with one point of contact.

Five steps, one point of contact, and a phone that gets answered.
Where the deck goes, how big, what you want to do on it. A photo of the back of the house helps.
Chris checks the grade, the walkout, where the doors and windows are, and how the roof would tie in if it's covered.
Framing, decking, rail, stairs and any roof spelled out so you can adjust materials.
Footings, framing, decking, rail, stairs, lighting. Inspections along the way.
Every board and baluster checked. Old deck hauled off, yard put back.
Composite costs more up front and needs almost nothing afterward: no staining, no splinters, no checking. Cedar is beautiful and less expensive on day one but needs sealing every few years. We build both and will give you both prices.
Most decks do, especially anything attached to the house or more than a step off the ground. We handle the permit and the inspections as part of the job.
Sometimes. If the frame and footings are sound we can re-deck and re-rail it. If the ledger or joists are rotted, it's a rebuild, and we'll show you exactly why.
Below the frost line, which around Omaha means well over three feet. Footings that don't go deep enough are how decks heave and doors stop closing.
Yes. A roof over part or all of the deck, tied into the house properly so it doesn't leak, with ceiling fans and lighting if you want them.
Spring through fall is the main season. Get on the schedule early; deck season in Omaha fills up fast.
