Northern Outdoor Living is a design-driven builder of one-of-a-kind outdoor living spaces serving the Greater Twin Cities area from its home base in Hastings, Minnesota. Led by owner Dan Pettit, the company creates custom decks, multi-zone outdoor rooms, screened porches, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and signature light-art feature walls — spaces engineered to last and designed around what each family loves.

As a member of Owens Corning’s selective Pro Build Team, Northern Outdoor Living builds by default with WearDeck, a fully synthetic composite carrying warranties far beyond wood — the foundation of its ‘forever deck’ approach. That consistency frees Dan’s designs from the constraints wood imposes, enabling the sculptural, competition-winning work recognized at the 2022 NADRA National+ Deck Competition and named Deck Specialist of the Year 2023. Homeowners consistently praise the meticulous craftsmanship, daily communication, and results that exceed what they imagined.
