"Marco did a fantastic job on a number of projects around my home - drywall repair, painting, ceramic tile replacement and vintage tub shower hoop installation. He didn't cut corners to save time. Marco takes the time to do things right. He worked efficiently to complete my long list of projects. I highly recommend A.N.M. to anyone who needs any repairs around their house."

"Angel did an AMAZING job! He tore down an old pool deck and rebuilt an entirely new lower and upper deck, with 2 sets of stairs. From start to finish, working with Cassandra and Angel was easy. They kept constant communications and updates, kept the process moving, and were very knowledgeable when we had questions. Angel was timely, efficient and prompt; there were extremely hot or rainy days, where I thought it wouldn’t be possible to work in those conditions, but he made it work! I can’t praise them enough for their hard work and dedication to making our dream deck come true and making the process seamless. We had several quotes from competitors and the vibe of the others either didn’t understand what we wanted or just always tried to upsell. Minquiz came in with a reasonable & affordable quote that didn’t compromise what we envisioned. They made adjustments and recommendations to the plan as needed, with clear communication. We plan to hire them for future home projects!"

"FB Construction installed almost a dozen replacement windows for us and we couldn’t be happier with their work. Igor and Yuri were incredibly professional and polite. Igor had great communication, he kept us update with permits and production of the windows and how the actual process of installation would go. He answered every question I had along the way. Their work was impeccable, Yuri is definitely a perfectionist and his work shows it! They kept everything clean and tidy during the process. We could not be happy with their work and professionalism and will definitely continue to use them in then future!"

"Frank and his crew are very knowledgeable and easy to work with. They even made some suggestions about the design during construction to avoid issues. They got the job done in the time they quoted and within the budget. Highly recommend them. They did a bathroom and we were so happy with their work we hired them for the kitchen too"

"Sadot and his team were excellent. He reconstructed by back stairs coming off my porch and then stained not only the stairs but my whole porch frame. He worked well with the Carol Stream building inspector to ensure everything complied with permt codes. He and his team were polite, professional and got the job done in a reasonable time period. I would highly recommend."

"We had a rough start, reflected in my original review that I'm updating now. 6 weeks after giving them a 33% deposit, we still hadn't gotten a start date or even a date for a date. After several escalations we finally got a start date. The demolition crew showed up promptly on that day, and were very capable and professional in the way they took down the old porch and poured the concrete piers for the new one. Then a couple of days later the materials were delivered -- good looking lumber, looked good enough to make furniture out of. Then a couple of days later the carpenters showed up and they did a really good job. The new porch looks beautiful. I would hire them again in spite of the rough start."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Lake Zurich, 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.
