A deck would typically require two inspections: (1) footing inspection (2) final inspection.

Are you building or modifying your deck?  Then, you came to the right page.

Does your “deck” have a roof? Then it is NOT a deck; it is a Porch, 3, or 4 season habitable room and would be built and inspected as per the WI Uniform Dwelling Code.

Any deck, whether connected to a structure or free-standing, that serves as an exit must meet the standards of the WI Uniform Dwelling Code.
