Composite decks, covered structures, and patio roofs for De Pere homeowners on both sides of the Fox River.
Tech Five Design & Build constructs custom composite decks, covered structures, screened porches, and patio roof systems for De Pere homeowners throughout Brown County. The Claude Allouez Bridge divides De Pere into two distinctly different residential environments — East De Pere's established neighborhoods near St. Norbert College feature older homes on smaller lots with mature landscaping, while West De Pere has experienced a development boom from the 2000s to present with larger lots and contemporary housing. St. Norbert College creates a unique mix of rental properties and owner-occupied homes in nearby blocks, each requiring different design priorities. The Broadway corridor through downtown East De Pere includes historic commercial buildings that may trigger design review considerations for visible deck projects. Properties along the Fox River corridor face floodplain overlay regulations in some locations, and we identify these requirements during initial site review. The Fox River Trail provides residents throughout De Pere with direct access to outdoor recreation, and decks oriented toward trail access can maximize this amenity. Voyageur Park along the riverfront anchors De Pere's connection to its waterway heritage. We evaluate each De Pere property's specific conditions — east vs. west side character, proximity to campus, floodplain status, and existing home architecture — before proposing designs that work within these realities.
East De Pere has smaller established lots with older homes; West De Pere has larger newer lots with contemporary houses. We understand both contexts and design appropriately for each — proportions, materials, and styles that fit where you live.
Properties near St. Norbert College serve both owner-occupants and renters. We can recommend appropriate materials and designs whether you're building for your family or for rental durability and low maintenance.
Some De Pere properties fall within floodplain overlay zones with specific elevation and construction requirements. We identify these situations during site review and engineer deck systems that meet applicable regulations.
Properties in De Pere's historic Broadway corridor may face design review for visible exterior additions. We understand these requirements and can design decks that satisfy review criteria while delivering your outdoor living goals.
De Pere's division by the Fox River creates two genuinely different residential environments connected by the Claude Allouez Bridge. East De Pere, anchored by St. Norbert College, contains the city's oldest residential stock — homes dating from the early 1900s through mid-century on lots platted when 50-foot frontages were generous. The college creates a unique neighborhood dynamic, with blocks containing both long-term owner-occupied homes and rental properties serving students and faculty. These different property types require different deck design approaches — owner-occupants often want premium finishes and entertaining features, while rental properties prioritize durability and minimal maintenance. West De Pere tells a different story entirely. The development boom from the 2000s to present has produced subdivisions with larger lots, contemporary home designs, and different soil conditions than the river-adjacent east side. The Broadway corridor through downtown East De Pere preserves historic commercial architecture, and residential properties in this area may face design review considerations for visible exterior additions like decks. Along the Fox River corridor, some De Pere properties fall within floodplain overlay zones requiring specific engineering approaches — elevated structures, flood-resistant materials, and compliance with applicable regulations. The Fox River Trail running through De Pere connects to regional recreation networks, and deck designs can maximize enjoyment of trail access for properties with proximity to this amenity. Voyageur Park along the riverfront anchors De Pere's connection to its waterway heritage and provides a neighborhood focal point for surrounding residential areas.
East De Pere has older homes on smaller lots with mature trees and established character — decks should complement existing architecture. West De Pere has newer homes on larger lots with more open yards. Design approaches, proportions, and even material selections often differ between the two sides based on these distinct contexts.
The campus area has both owner-occupied homes and rental properties. For rentals, we can recommend materials and designs prioritizing durability and low maintenance. For owner-occupied homes, we offer the full range of premium options with entertaining features and higher-end finishes.
