Outdoor Deck Construction in Mt Prospect, IL

We've been remodeling homes in Mt Prospect, IL for over 20 years. That means we know the local building department, we pull the right permits, and we don't disappear after the last board goes down. Our crew does the framing, the finishing, and the cleanup. You deal with one team from start to finish.

As a full-service remodeler, we're not just a deck company. When a customer asks us to tie a new deck into their home addition or back door layout, we know how to make that work structurally and visually. That experience shows up in the details — things like proper ledger attachment, flashing at the house connection, and post footings that won't heave when the ground freezes.

Mt Prospect, IL gets real winter. Ground frost here can run 36 inches deep, and that matters a lot for deck construction. We set footings below the frost line so your posts don't shift when the ground thaws in spring. We also account for the freeze-thaw cycle when choosing fasteners and composite decking products, since cheaper materials crack and pop when moisture gets in. A deck built right for Chicago weather in 2024 should still be solid in 2039.

Composite Decking vs. Wood: Which One Fits Your Yard

Composite decking has gotten a lot better over the last decade. The better brands hold color, resist moisture, and don't need annual staining. For homeowners in Mt Prospect, IL who want a low-maintenance option, it's worth the higher upfront cost. We carry multiple composite lines and can show you physical samples before you commit.

That said, natural wood still makes sense for certain custom deck projects. If you want a look that matches an older home or a pergola with a lot of character, wood gives you options composites can't fully replicate. We'll tell you honestly which one fits your situation better.

Custom Deck Designs That Fit Your Space

Not every yard is a rectangle, and not every homeowner wants a plain platform. We do custom deck layouts that work around trees, slopes, HVAC equipment, and odd lot lines. Multi-level decks, built-in benches, cable railing, and pergola attachments are all things we've done for customers in Mt Prospect, IL.

A custom deck design also means we plan the traffic flow — where the stairs land, how the door swings, where the grill goes. Those details make a deck actually enjoyable to use instead of just nice to look at.
