"I had several estimates for my pool-deck.... Mike was the most professional by a looong way. Seemed engaged and excited to do what we envisioned and delivered big time. Weather got in the way towards the end.... But Mike was here himself doing finish work with snow on the ground. I could NOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!"

We chose to enter the deck, pergola, and outdoor living space industry because of my deep passion for creating beautiful and functional outdoor environments. There's something truly satisfying about transforming a barren backyard into a vibrant and inviting space where people can relax, entertain, and connect with nature. We love the idea of helping homeowners realize their outdoor living dreams, whether it's by designing a cozy deck for intimate gatherings, a stylish pergola for shade and aesthetic appeal, or a complete outdoor living area that becomes an extension of their home. This industry allows us to blend our creativity with practical craftsmanship, and we find immense fulfillment in the smiles on my clients' faces when they see their vision come to life in their outdoor spaces.

"Marcus showed up on time to look at the damage and give me an estimate. He was very professional and performed the work promptly He and his laborer did a great job and cleaned up very well. I will have him put the air conditioner into a side wall in the spring when it's warmer. I am very pleased with his work. He also did a couple of very small jobs for me at no additional cost which I appreciated very much. I am more than happy to give him a great review and to recommend him as a contractor."

"Overall it went well and I would hire them again—so far no leaks. Pros: Their quality of work is good overall, they were respectful and clean. They were able to come up with reasonable fixes for issues that we couldn't match parts on or just didn't have. Cons: The original (verbal) estimate didn't include materials, which I thought was odd. So I was disappointed when the price doubled on their written quote. Only other issue was they originally said (verbal not in writing) they would use a metal flashing over the deck ledger board and ended up just using flashing tape. I doubt it will hold up over time like a metal and tape combination would. We also never received a final receipt for services performed and I will have to follow up."

"Alex was here on time. Did a great job replacing the damaged column and secured it in place, as it apparently wasn't when the house was built. Cleaned up the mess and even sent me pictures of the progress."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Garden-prairie, IL

To maximize your budget, compare quotes of several builders that fit within your specifications. Don’t be afraid to draw a wider geographic circle if the contractor is willing to travel without charging more. But affordability only matters if you get a quality deck out of it.

Cutting corners or simply finding the cheapest pro could result in significant problems. The materials used may be cheap and rot quickly. The support the surface provides might be unstable and dangerous. Always consider the long-term costs and benefits of quality work. Paying less upfront may actually be more expensive if you consider the cost of repairs.

Deciding on which materials you should use depends entirely on the type of deck you’re looking for. Composite works well for a simple surface exposed to harsh elements, while concrete is the standard choice for many patios. Your decking material options can range from wood to aluminum. Learn about the pros and cons of these materials to make the right decision.

You can build a deck during any season, which is why choosing the right time for this project depends on your preferences:

  • Spring: get your deck ready in time for landscaping and to enjoy it throughout the warmer seasons.

  • Summer: use spring for the planning process, then get the project ready before it gets cold out.

  • Fall: Limit turf or landscape damage by building once most plants begin to recede.

  • Winter: make the excavation process easier, thanks to cold and firm ground.

Many deck builders prefer winter, which is also the season with the shortest waiting queues. Still, other seasons are far from impossible for this type of project.

Expect a thorough examination of the space, and the development of a project schedule. Delivery of materials might already have occurred or could be planned at this point.

Additional research about working with deck builders can help you understand what to expect from experts, and what they expect from you.

Make sure the site of the deck or patio is clear of any landscaping and debris. The contractor will also call a utilities locator service to mark power, water, cable, and other services around the area where they will be digging. The cleaner the area your builder has to work with, the more quickly they can get started. Make sure they have space to park any construction vehicles. Find a dry space for materials that might need storage during the install. Finally, ensure clear access to the site through your house or property.

When it comes to the DIY vs. hire a pro decision for your deck, the answer tends to be clear. Only take it on yourself if you have significant expertise and experience. Without either, you risk building a faulty exterior space, leading to injury risks. Projects built without necessary expertise also break more quickly, making them more expensive in the long run.

If you do want to take on decking as a DIY project, be sure to do your research. Learn about installing the posts and footing for your framing. Understand how to lay decking boards and build the railings and stairs you need for access and security.
