  Deckscapes, Inc. was started in August 1995 as a two-man custom deck building contractor focusing primarily on outdoor projects. Our company quickly moved to bigger projects including screened porches, basement finishing, room additions, and much more. In the summer of 1997, a unique deck project was featured on the cover of “Gardens, Decks and Patios” a national magazine publication. From 1977 thru 2004 the company was featured with 5 more cover photos with the magazine.

  In the spring of 1998, our company was contracted for framing construction on its first major commercial project (Holy Trinity Parish Offices, Lenexa, KS) propelling our company into more than just residential backyards! DS Construction was named as a sister company to Deckscapes to better define our role in other markets. Operating both divisions of the business under one roof and leadership team provides our customers with one stop shopping and continuity for any future construction improvements. Our unique experience has allowed us to build relationships with many home owner/business owners and enabled us to serve their construction needs both personally and professionally. In fact, we have completed multiple interior and exterior projects for over 80% of our customers. Since that date we have continued to operate and expand into large room additions and custom homes along with a diverse range of commercial construction and remodeling projects

  Throughout the years Deckscapes/DS Construction, Inc. has been awarded numerous design/construction awards. Most recently, 2008 thru 2010 our outdoor construction displays in The Kansas City Home & Garden Remodeling Show have awarded us “Best Overall Display”. The city of Lenexa, KS awarded us “2009 Best of Lenexa – Basement Contractors”. In September of 2012, our company was honored to receive, Kansas City Home & Gardens Magazine “2012 Remodel of The Year – Gold, for Best Kitchen Remodel over $120,000” & “Judges’ Pick” of all Kitchen designs awarded (KCH&G Magazine, Sept. 2012 issue).
