"J Sitko was highly responsive to our request through Angie's. Jack Sitko came out and gave us a thorough & detailed quote for our deck replacement and exterior wall/siding repair. The team was very responsive to our initial questions, and when we selected Sitko for the work took care of all the steps from design and permitting through final inspection. The crew came quickly and worked steadily throughout the whole project, even in the colder days of December. They identified numerous issues with our exterior wallboards and quickly replaced all rotting boards (a larger project than we imagined). The deck went up quickly and was exceedingly well built and secured. The team wasn't the neatest I've seen, given this was renovation to our existing living space, but were quick to haul away all construction material. Sitko took care of our punch list promptly, making sure we were completely satisfied. The whole project took less than a month, and we now have a new exterior space to enjoy come spring!"

"If I could give this company higher than an A, I would. This was the best contractor experience I have ever had. The work they did is top notch. Not only do I have a sturdy, functional porch, but it looks fantastic too, and it was built to code. The porch faces the alley which is also a big neighborhood walking pathway. During Covid, numerous people have socially-distanced-stopped and complimented their work. I have already provided this company's information to people. Mike and Eddie were immediately responsive to my message asking for a quote and very timely in the whole process from meeting with me, providing me with a bid and answering questions. During our first phone conversation, they told me that they would build me a great porch and that I would be very happy with their work. They were right! Their price was consistent with other bids, and was more comprehensive in that they provided me with requested information regarding obtaining drawings and making sure it was to code. The were communicative, on time, nice, efficient and neat. They were also concerned that I was happy with the porch and asked me to let them know of any punchlist items. There were just a few very minor tweaks I asked for, and they came out immediately. I cannot say enough positive things about this company. It would be a pleasure to work with them again."

"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."

"James responded to my query immediately. He came over at the arranged time to get a look at the space, get an idea of what we wanted, and make an estimate. The final price came in a bit higher than the estimate because of the materials available and because we made two small changes along the way. We had a pretty clear idea of what we wanted and the result was exactly as discussed. James is a quiet guy and did not make many suggestions so he would be best for clients who know what they want. When we made suggestions or requests for corrections along the way, he was agreeable and responsive. The whole process took a bit over a month from beginning to end. He did some preliminary work off-site, and then was in our house for about two weeks. The first few days he had a helper with him to move in the biggest pieces and help get the shelves up on the wall. He was reliable and punctual; showed up every day as he said he would, and worked hard. The resulting bookshelves and desk are really beautiful. We are very happy with James' work and would recommend him to others."

"Everything Went perfect I love my deck! It took a little longer because the deck was attached to the house and when we took out the old one realized that we had to repair the side of the house. No worries though because Tom did that too! Tom also installed some lighting for me, replaced my backsplash in the kitchen and assembled some furniture for me. The biggest was the deck which turned out beautiful! But Tom can do everything, does it very well, can be trusted, and I’ll be calling him again to stain the new deck in spring."

"We just secured Midtown as our decking provider! So impressed with Midtown and the people of this great company. Firstly, I was most impressed at the Tinley Park Show with Luke. He was easy to talk to and honestly, was my favorite contact at the show. He was sharing about Midtown, what they do and about PVC decking that I was not familiar with. I set up an appointment to have Midtown come to our home. Today, met with Peter and Leah and just excellence in hearing about Midtown and owners beliefs, the product, the process and answered all our questions and provided great solutions. We just enjoyed our time chatting with them. Most of all, we are excited about having Midtown create a beautiful deck for us! They are going to tear down our existing deck that is falling apart and replace it with PVC decking. Surprised at the amazing quality decking, excellent workmanship and how it will look! Midtown cares about creating a relationship with their customers and just a gem!"

"FB Construction really stepped it up. We called them in for a full house remodel - their quote was not just reasonable, but professional in that they advised where not to waste money and where to focus on quality. The work was done incredibly fast, with multiple teams working at the same time (electricians on one floor, plumbers downstairs, and paint and flooring done in parallel). All in all they are professionals and will tell you what's best so you don't have to research everything and explain pros&cons. The communication is stellar - accessible by phone/email and will show up when asked, with clear updates on progress and next steps. The final bill was exactly per quote - because they SAVED ME MONEY, and then I got to invest in quality parts/projects. After the project was done, they were responsive and came out same day for follow-ups and little touch-ups. These guys have been doing this for a long time and it shows. Even if they are too busy to do a project they will either schedule it out or recommend someone else they trust and work with. Recommended to countless neighbors, family and friends. Old world craftsmanship and professionalism with today's customer experience!"

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.
