Built for Edwardsville - the lots, the soil, the permits.
Edwardsville is home base for Threshold Builders - our crew lives here, our trucks are parked here, and most of the decks we build every year go up within a few miles of downtown. That matters more than it sounds: we know how Madison County clay soil heaves through freeze-thaw cycles, so every footing goes below the 30-inch frost line. We know the City of Edwardsville permit office and what its inspectors look for at framing. And when you call about a warranty item three years from now, we are ten minutes away, not two counties over.
We build across the whole city - established neighborhoods like Leclaire and Grandview where a new deck has to respect a hundred-year-old house, newer subdivisions off Governors’ Parkway and Route 157 where builders left behind a bare 10x10 pressure-treated platform, and lake properties around Dunlap Lake where the view deserves better railing than a wall of 2x2 balusters.
Edwardsville projects skew toward mid-size and large composite decks - the most common build we quote in town is a 300-400 sq ft composite deck with aluminum or cable railing.
