Solid Ground has been named CAMO Fastener’s Deck Specialist of the Year, a national honor recognized by Deck Specialist Magazine. This is our second such recognition in three years, following our earlier honor for DuraLife decking. For homeowners choosing a builder, this award is simple proof: our craftsmanship stands out on a national stage.
Below, we’ll explain what the award means, why it matters when you’re hiring, and how our approach earned it.
CAMO Fastener names one Camo Fastener deck specialist each year based on build quality, design skill, and precision. The recognition appeared in the Deck Specialist July/August 2026 issue, where Solid Ground earned the title of deck specialist of the year in St Louis. Each winner is judged on real work, not marketing.
We’re proud to be a national pick from right here in Missouri. That said, the award reflects years of steady, careful building rather than a single project.
Choosing a builder is a big decision. National recognition helps you cut through guesswork. Here’s what our award-winning reputation signals to you:
When you hire an award-winning deck builder that St Louis families rely on, you get a partner who treats every board with care.
Great decks start with great planning. As trusted deck builders, we design multi-level decks that fit sloped yards and turn them into true living space. We also build classic wood decks for homeowners who love natural warmth.
Every project centers on how you’ll actually use the space. From shaded lounging areas to full outdoor entertainment setups, we plan the flow first. You can explore our full range on our services page and see options like custom deck building.
As a family-owned business, we provide hands-on leadership across every phase of your project. We combine premium materials, transparent communication, and custom design tailored specifically to your home. This commitment to personal accountability is precisely what earned recognition from national industry judges.
Not every builder earns national recognition, and not every award tells the full story. Here are the qualities worth checking before you hire:
These aren’t just boxes to check. They’re the habits that separate builders who win awards from those who claim they could.
This recognition reflects our promise to every client: precise craftsmanship, honest guidance, and outdoor spaces built to last. Our team brings design creativity, steel-framing strength, and decades of expertise to every build across the St. Louis area.
If you want a deck that matches this standard, let’s talk. We’ll listen to your ideas, walk you through options, and design a space your family will love for years to come.
