American Awning & Sunrooms builds custom decks for Houghton Lake homeowners who want to make the most of their outdoor space. A well-built deck creates a natural gathering place right outside your back door, giving you a dedicated area for dining, relaxing, and taking in the views that make Houghton Lake one of Michigan's most sought-after communities.
Whether you are starting from scratch or replacing an aging structure, we design and build decks that fit your property, your lifestyle, and the demands of Michigan's climate.
Houghton Lake properties are all about the outdoors. The summers here are short and valuable, and homeowners want to spend as much time outside as possible. A custom deck gives you a dedicated, comfortable space to do exactly that, right on your own property.
Lakefront and lakeside homes often sit on uneven terrain or slopes that lead down toward the water. A well-designed deck can work with that grade, creating a level outdoor platform that maximizes your usable yard space and takes full advantage of the lake views.
For vacation homes and seasonal cottages, a deck also adds meaningful property value. Outdoor living space is one of the most frequently cited priorities among buyers and renters in lakeside communities, and a quality deck delivers it directly.
Wood decking offers a classic, natural look that blends well with the wooded surroundings common around Houghton Lake. Pressure-treated lumber is a cost-effective choice for the structure, while cedar and other hardwoods provide a more refined finished surface. Wood does require periodic sealing and maintenance to hold up well in Michigan's humid lakeside environment.
Composite decking is made from a blend of wood fiber and plastic materials that resist moisture, fading, and the temperature swings Michigan properties experience year-round. It requires very little maintenance compared to wood and holds its appearance well over time. Composite is a strong choice for lakefront properties that see heavy sun exposure and humidity throughout the season.
We walk you through both options during your free consultation and help you choose the material that fits your budget, your maintenance preferences, and the look you want.
Every deck we build is designed specifically for the property and the homeowner. Here is what to expect when you work with us:
A deck is a great foundation for a complete outdoor living area. Many Houghton Lake homeowners pair their new deck with a retractable awning for on-demand shade, or add a pergola to create a defined overhead structure. If bug protection is a priority, a screened-in porch can be designed to connect directly to your deck. We offer all of these services and can help you plan a cohesive outdoor space from the ground up.

Wood decking has a natural look and is typically less expensive upfront but requires regular sealing and maintenance to hold up against Michigan's climate.
