"Perfect Touch did extensive repair on our deck, replaced our mailbox and most recently retiled and painted a 1950’s bathroom. Alex gave us accurate, reasonable quotes for all the jobs and then scheduled quickly and completed all three jobs beautifully. The work was excellent and the crew was pleasant and professional. They probably removed their shoes hundreds of times.!! They also cleaned up the site nicely. I highly recommend."

"Jaimie and his crew did a great job on replacing all my deck boards and building a privacy wall. They were here on time every day and were very accommodating and meticulous and seemed to take pride in their work. Communicated very well. I would definitely recommend them for any project."

"We had an eleven year old cedar deck that needed sanding and restaining as well as replacing some rotting boards. We received several estimates for the work and Minquiz Construction came in with a quote that was very reasonable. We are so glad we chose them to do the job. Angel is a craftsman. Our deck stairs had an interesting design and Angel replicated that design and it actually looks better than it did originally. He ended up having to put several coats of stain on the base and he worked on it until it was perfect. We would definitely use Minquiz again."

"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."

"Casey is a Pro! We had a very long list of projects to get our home ready to sell. Everything from painting to minor plumbing, minor electrical, and all the little details, (i.e, installing new pull chains in all the closets, new toilet seats, and the like). He also replaced our sump pump in the basement at a quite reasonable cost. Casey spruced up the garage inside and out. He looked at our concrete patio, and suggested repairing and staining it, an economical solution. We threw Casey some ���curve balls��� along at the way. First, we told him we were not in big hurry to get the project done until late summer. Then about two weeks into the project, we asked him to do to the project and be done in a shorter timeframe. Casey was very accommodating to our schedule and did his best to work around our needs. Casey���s flexible and will work with your budget. His pricing is reasonable. He knows almost everyone. For example, we purchased our new carpeting through Summer���s Carpeting in Mundelein at a savings. Ask for Lonnie, if you are interested. Bottom line: Casey has a great attitude and will work with you to make you happy."

"We used Eric and his team to give our house a complete face-lift...new kitchen, new bathrooms, wood floors, new doors, window framing, painting, can lights...I'm sure there is more that I am forgetting. They did AMAZING work! Eric and his guys are professional, the communication was great, the finishing touches elite, and the job was finished on the date he said it would be done (which is unheard of). I recommend Eric to all of my friends and I will continue to use him for projects that come up in our house."

"Jose got the job done right (rehung fallen cabinet) plus went above and beyond by repairing cabinet doors, which had split when my kitchen cabinet fell to the floor. I also appreciated his customer service skills and clear interest in doing a great job."

FAQs for deck or porch repair projects in Lake Forest, 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.
