A beautiful custom wood deck will improve the value of your home, increase your living space, and make your home a more enjoyable place to spend those hot summer days.
Silva Custom Design is a custom carpentry service based out of Madison heights, Michigan and serving Oakland County, including: Bloomfield Hills, Franklin, Birmingham, Northville, West Bloomfield, and Novi. We specialize in designing and building custom wood decks made out of affordable Pressure Treated Lumber or the more luxurious Western Red Cedar. Whether you want us to rebuild an existing deck or build something new and unique the small team of craftsman at the Silva Custom Design will be able to help you.
Wood Decks are an excellent way to keep a natural look and feel about your property. Most decks today are built out of wood because it's affordable and easy for your builder to work with.
The most affordable and commonly used type of wood for decking would be pressure treated decking materials. However, wood can also be quite expensive if you're wanting to build your deck out of popular redwood, cedar or the even more expensive Ipe. Natural decking materials however offer a certain richness, and feel that you can only get from using wood.
Materials We Use For Building Custom Decks
-
- Pressure Treated Wood Decking
- Western Red Cedar Decking
- High Quality Fasteners
What's The Difference In Wood For Decking?
Pressure Treated Decking: It's very resistant to rot and insects and it also withstands moisture very well, not to mention it's readily available which also makes it affordable. Pressure treated wood doesn't necessarily need to be painted if you like the dark brown, or dark green color variations that it comes in. Most pressure treated decking material is milled from southern yellow pine. Silva Custom Design can build you a deck out of pressure treated lumber throughout the Ohio area.
Redwood & Cedar Decking: If budget isn't an issue and you want one of the more elegant looking materials for your deck then redwood or red cedar are great choices. Both of these western softwoods are highly sought after for their deep rich colors and natural beauty. Both of these species actually contain tannins and oils that help them naturally resist rot, decay and wood boring insects without having to be treated with chemicals. The crew at Silva Custom Design are the Michigan Cedar Decking experts!

Our Clients Love Us!
Here's What They Say
Edwin and his team were fantastic to work with! We needed our old 90's patio steps rebuilt the exact same way and they were the only company to tackle this project for us. All the others tried to talk us into a whole new look for a lot more money. So glad we went with Silva! Edwin's customer service and expertise is top notch. I highly recommend!
Edwin and his team were amazing! They handled all the permits and paperwork and got promptly to work as soon as everything was finalized. His team that came out were respectful and made sure my wife and I were happy with everything along the way. We love the fence and would recommend to anyone looking for good quality work!
Loved working with Edwin and his team! His team redid our entire back yard and did a beautiful fence to go along with it! They also set up our playground/swing set for us! We loved them so much we had them come back the next year to fix up our garage and build us an above the garage room!
I HIGHLY recommend Silva custom design. Edwin is the best! Edwin redid my driveway and did the foundation + framing for my home addition. His crews were very respectful cleaning up daily and very hard workers! I honestly was sad he wasn’t able to do more work on my renovation.
Edwin and his team were fantastic to work with and our patio turned out beautiful. Edwin came out quickly to give us a quote on removing some raised beds and redoing our collapsing patio and then fit us into his schedule for the fall. We appreciated his professionalism and that he gave us quotes for both new pavers and reusing our old ones. We decided to go with new pavers and they look amazing. The work was done quickly and perfectly! We would happily recommend them to anyone.
