A Deck That Holds Up to Chicago Winters
We build and repair decks across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, from a simple platform off the back door to a multi-level deck with built-in seating.
A look at the deck work we handle most often.
New deck framing, footings set below the frost line, built to last through Chicago winters.
Soft boards, wobbly rails, bouncy stairs, we fix what's actually failed.
Pressure washed and resealed so the wood doesn't gray and splinter by next summer.
A real drawing before we order lumber, built around how your yard actually sits.
Low-maintenance composite boards with hidden fasteners, no stain bill later.
Railings rebuilt to code, bolted through instead of toe-nailed and loose.
We build, repair, and refinish decks for homeowners in Chicago and the towns around it. Most people find us after noticing their deck boards have started to cup, a railing post has gone wobbly, or the stairs feel soft underfoot. Some are starting from scratch, with a bare yard and a rough idea of where they want to grill and where the kids should run. Either way, you're trusting someone to build something you'll stand on for the next twenty years.
We pour footings below Chicago's 42-inch frost line so the deck doesn't heave every spring, and we bolt the ledger board to the house instead of just nailing it, since a nailed ledger is the top reason decks pull away from the siding. We flash that ledger properly so water runs off instead of soaking into the rim joist. If you want composite decking we'll walk you through the board spacing needed for expansion, and if you want cedar or pressure-treated pine we'll tell you honestly how often you'll need to reseal it.
Serving Chicago and the suburbs within about an hour's drive.
Not on the list? Give us a call anyway. We are often working nearby.
Most of our work comes from someone telling a neighbor about us. Here is why that keeps happening.
We carry the license and insurance a deck project in Chicago actually requires.
We pull the permit and schedule the footing inspection, so you don't have to.
We haul off every scrap of lumber and pull every stray screw from the yard.
You get a written quote that spells out materials and square footage before we start.
The crew that frames your deck is the same crew that finishes it.
We know which Chicago suburbs need engineered drawings and which don't.
Our ledger board turned out rotted clean through once they pulled the old boards off in Berwyn. Glad they caught it before the whole thing gave way.
Had the deck resealed out in Naperville. Rain pushed the schedule back a few days but they called ahead each time, color turned out good.
Switched our old pine deck in Chicago to composite. No more staining every two years and the board gaps look even all the way across.
