"O'Rourke Deck Services recently completed work on our deck and patio. We were very pleased with both the process and the results. They were timely and professional, and communication was good throughout the process. Their work on our deck included replacing a number or boards and rebuilding a section of it, in addition to power washing, sanding, and staining. The finished deck looks great, as does the patio, where they power washed, relaid some of the stones, and applied polymeric sand. The cost of all this work was very reasonable. We'll definitely call on them again as needed."

"
  • I have a screened porch that was added onto my house about 25 years ago. For many years, rain has run down the inner wall and door where the porch attaches to the house. I had the porch roof replaced twice, but the problem continued. A variety of professionals tried to fix it, but no one was successful. Then someone suggested that I call a carpenter.

James Burns figured out the cause of the leak and gave me an estimate. He did the work the next day. It involved putting a new flashing over the old one and doing some caulking. We had a huge rainstorm less than a week later, and my porch stayed dry. It remains to be seen whether this continues, but I am optimistic. James told me to call him if the leak reappears.
I will definitely use James's services again.

"Toro Carpentry did a wonderful job. Hymie and his crew explained their process and understood what my goals were for this project. When I needed additional work that was outside the original project, his price was very reasonable. If you want a company you can trust, Toro is it. I would recommend them to all that ask."

"I hired True 45 Construction to repair and stain my deck. Elias did such a fantastic job -he went above and beyond and my deck looks absolutely beautiful- Just looking at it brings me joy:). Elias provided me a very comprehensive quote - and from there we worked together to negotiate the scope of the project to get it to a price that I could afford. He guided me through the process and did a great job of explaining the important details along the way. Also-he was so responsive-there was never a moment where I felt like a question was left unanswered or that I didn’t know the plan. I definitely plan on calling him for future projects. Thank you so very much, Elias!!"

"I needed someone to temporarily remove the planks of the front deck so the plumbers could access the drain pipes to repair. It was short notice and more complicated than expected. Ron provided outstanding service tailored to our needs. Heâ s going to be my to-go handyman from now on."

"We wanted our back porch shortened, updated with composite decking, and new railings. We also replaced our back and storm doors. Robert was responsive, knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. As it was a smaller project, he was able to add his to his schedule within a week. Looks great!"

"Very quick to respond to posting and came next day for estimate. This was a small repair job on fascia and flashing which they handled at time of estimate for a reasonable price, especially considering the minimum fees that bigger contractors charge -- if you can even get the bigger guys to come out. Contractor (Eric) seemed knowledgeable and was polite and professional. Would hire again."

FAQs for deck or porch repair projects in Des Plaines, IL

Composite and ipe hardwood decks provide the longest durability for your outdoor space. Composite decks last 30 years exactly, and ipe hardwood decks continue reliably for 75 years when maintained properly. Frequent cleaning and sealing preserve these materials and protect them against weathering. This exceptional endurance minimizes future repair needs and offers a solid, lasting investment.

Replacing your deck directly increases your home’s market value and enhances its curb appeal. A new deck returns between 50% and 65% of its cost in additional home value at resale. This upgrade not only modernizes your outdoor living space but also significantly bolsters buyer interest, ensuring that your investment adds both functionality and an attractive aesthetic.

You should replace your deck when visible signs of wear begin to compromise safety and functionality. The quality of maintenance and the durability of the chosen materials determine when a deck reaches the end of its life. For example, decks crafted from superior materials like mahogany or ipe hardwood can last over 50 years, while cedar decks require replacement after 15 to 20 years. Regular inspections help guide this decision.

Your deck needs to be replaced when clear structural issues compromise its safety. Indicators include soft spots, sunken boards, scattered wood shavings, and hollow sounds that indicate rot or pest damage. These symptoms show that simple repairs are insufficient to maintain a secure deck. A professional evaluation is essential to confirm whether full replacement is necessary to protect your outdoor living area.
