"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."

"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."

"He did an incredible job. It looks like the original installation on the oven. He was extremely neat and didn't make any kind of a mess. I would use him again and recommend him to anyone looking for some finished carpentry. He was extremely punctual and professional."

"I initially hired HDH to help improve our laundry room work area. He removed an old cement sink, installed a replacement, relocated the washer/dryer and installed cabinets. Andrew and his team had all the skills needed - electrical, plumbing, carpentry - to complete the job quickly. I hired them again to paint a new exterior door, install floating shelves, and replace a broken faucet. I'm glad to have finally found a reliable and great to work with handyman. We look forward to working with them again soon."

"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!"

"GF framed a four story gut-rehab that I was the Project Manager for in Lincoln Park. They also added a four story back addition, installed all new Marvin windows, 7 skylights and all of the custom trim and molding throughout. They are technically precise and skilled builders. I continue to have them do other projects as they arise. I highly recommend their workmanship."

"I really could not have asked for better administrative and management service. The actual work and the carpenter himself was equally as great. The carpenter was creative in delivering a great product. I would like to assume that some carpenter would have charged a bit less, but it would not have been worth the savings to either get inferior service, a headache, or a questionable product."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Northbrook, 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.
