The problem
Hiring a contractor shouldn't feel like a gamble.
Three contractors come out. One bids. The crew that shows up cuts corners, then stops answering. And the cheap build fades in a few summers. It doesn't have to go that way.
Why homeowners pick Shire
Real materials. Real care. Real people.
Most crews pitch the same deck to everyone. We start with real wood and stone, then help you pick what fits your yard and how you'll actually use it.
Real materials
Real wood and stone first. Wood can be sanded and repaired instead of replaced, so a good deck can be brought back rather than torn out.
Craftsmanship
Cut, fit, and finished by hands that care. Work measured in decades, not seasons.
Reliability
We answer, we show up, we finish. And if something's off, we own it.
“There was never a point of fear, because every question I had, you could answer.”Michael, deck client
You're the one who matters here

The short version
Shire Group builds real wood decks, real stone homes, and beautiful interiors, with real care, built to last. We work with homeowners in Sun Prairie, Madison, and across Dane County. Most people call us after a rough run with other contractors: bids that never came, calls that were never returned, or a push toward one material without anyone asking what they wanted. We work differently. You get a free site visit and a 3D design of your deck before a board is cut, a written price and timeline, and a crew you'll actually enjoy having in your backyard. From decks to structural stone homes to basement remodels, we build with real wood and stone because they're worth maintaining, and our guaranteed maintenance keeps your deck beautiful year after year. ⚑ BLOCKED: guarantee clause Your home matters. It should be built like it.
