Rochester is Minnesota’s third-largest city and the largest city located outside of the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington Metropolitan Area.  Rochester developed as a stagecoach stop between Saint Paul, Minnesota, and Dubuque, Iowa. The community was named after Rochester, New York. In 1863, Dr. William W. Mayo arrived as the examining surgeon for draftees in the Civil War. Today, the Mayo Clinic forms the core of Rochester’s economy. It employs over 30,000 people in the city and draws over 2 million visitors to Rochester every year. The clinic’s many facilities, along with hotels, restaurants and retail stores, comprise nearly the entire city’s downtown. A number of Rochester’s buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places, including the former Chateau Theatre, which now houses a Barnes & Noble bookstore, and Avalon Music, formerly a hotel important in the local civil rights movement.

Rochester features a humid continental climate, with very warm summers and very cold winters. This fluctuation in temperatures makes having a custom deck built with Trex composite decking material ideal. Composite decking will withstand warping over time from the humidity and snowfall.  However, with an average of 180 sunny days per year in Rochester, there are plenty of days to enjoy the sunshine from a custom-built deck.
