"I asked for a new deck and got a work of art! I could not be more pleased with the new deck that was built by Peoples Choice Home Improvement. I am an amateur woodworker and I notice the small details of excellent craftmanship and the attention to detail was very evident. The customer service from Leonard as well as the entire construction crew was superb. They showed up every day on time and left the site clean and orderly each evening. Even during a downpour they improvised and did a lot of preconstruction in my garage so as not to delay the project. There were some unforeseen issues with the way my home was constructed and the crew carefully pointed out a few options that would work to make the deck safe. I appreciated the care they took to make sure I was comfortable with the changes they suggested and how we mutually agreed to move forward with the modifications. Other companies might have just proceeded leaving the issues to show up at a future date. I rarely give reviews or recommendations but I felt compelled to write this one. The best testament to outstanding work is the fact that my neighbors have all been asking for Leonardâ s business card. I would not hesitate to suggest Peopleâ s Choice to anyone and I will be using them for future projects."

"Adelmo and his crew were fantastic. We hired them to build a pergola on our roof deck as well as re-stain the existing wood from a red paint to a more natural wood stain. The quality of their work is amazing. You can't even see the old red paint and the pergola turned out exactly as we imagined. Adelmo did a great job communicating the step by step process throughout the project. I would definitely hire them again for any future projects."

"This is a maintenance free deck that should last my lifetime. On the higher end of the cost scale but I didn't want wood that would need stained or painted. And I especially didn't want decking material that deteriorates after 5 years. Or discolors and gets covered in mold. Very sturdy build. Build team asked me about any issues they ran into and together we worked out a plan. Very happy with the people and the deck."

"Woodridge Deck and Gazebo recently rebuilt my deck in Geneva. The whole process was fantastic from sales to project management to working with the construction crews. I have been getting compliments over and over on the deck. Special thanks to Chris Whisenant, Aaron Hoffman, Christina Briseno, David (Carpenter), and foundation crews. Definitely would recommend them anytime !"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Highland Park, 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.
