More than decks
We didn’t set out to build “software.”
We answered a calling: give deck contractors back their time, their confidence, and the freedom to focus on what matters most—family, people, and legacy they leave behind.
Meet the Founder
Bryan Miller
Founder, CEO
In 2012, Bryan Miller was living the same rat race most deck builders live — 70–90 hour weeks, burning the midnight oil to get quotes out the door, doing everything by hand. He knew there had to be a better way. While building a deck for a friend who happened to be an Excel expert, Bryan described his estimation and sales problems. The friend offered to help. Over several months, Bryan taught him everything he knew about deck building; the friend translated it into a spreadsheet. After about five weeks, they had the first version of what is now DeckMetriX — a simple spreadsheet with a one-page proposal builder that let Bryan price every job rapidly and accurately in the field, print a proposal from the back of his truck, and walk inside to close the sale.By 2023, that spreadsheet had grown to 40 tabs covering every pricing option his business needed. Seven salespeople were using it daily. Managing weekly fixes was becoming unmanageable — which forced the decision to build a proper software product: first as no-code/low-code, then in late 2024 as a fully functional platform on AWS and GitHub. Two versions later, DeckMetriX has users outside Outback Deck successfully running their own deck businesses on the platform.
Built from first-hand experiences
Built by the same team behind Outback Deck in Georgia, DeckMetriX grew out of the realities of running a high-volume deck company—quoting late, juggling crews, and protecting margin under pressure.
Decades running real deck companies
DeckMetriX started on real jobs with real constraints. We designed it to enhance what works—not pile on features—and to keep the workflow simple so teams adopt it quickly.
We’ve lived nights-and-weekends quoting.
When the day ends, the paperwork doesn’t. We built a quoting flow you can trust under pressure: consistent, repeatable pricing logic that protects margin while speeding up the path to “yes.”
Pricing is the most effective lever for growth.
Close rates and profitability hinge on pricing discipline. Our focus is rapid, accurate pricing—full stop.
Our promise to you
We’re building for deck contractors of every size, and we hold a few principles sacred:
Purpose before product
Tools serve people. Our priority is to give owners back their time and freedom.
People first
Success is the lives we improve—teams, families, communities—not just the contracts we win.
Focus matters
We are dedicated to one thing: rapid, accurate pricing that wins jobs and gives you back time.
