"What a fantastic deck and fence. All synthetic, lifetime guarantee, and they will come out as many times as needed to be sure you are happy with your product and service. Not the cheapest around, for sure, but you get what you pay for in most cases, this is one of those. Cedar and pressure treated wood decks and fences are a terrible investment; my deck and fence will look the same on day one as they do years from now when the wood deck or fence are being replaced for the 3rd or 4th time. Don't skimp, this is an investment you won't regret."

"We hired FB construction for our window project. We were replacing all of the windows on the back side of our house. When Igor came in for the consult he was on time and very pleasant. He walked us through several options for the openings we had keeping both quality and budget in mind. We were really happy with the quote. Moving forward the windows came in sooner than anticipated which was great. The day of the project his workers showed up promptly and worked through the day. Our windows were pretty old so they were difficult to remove but his team did a great job! We love our new windows!!!! We also had other home projects going at the same time and we always heard “no problem” when it came to working around these projects. Felix was a great project manager and was also very knowledgeable and pleasant. I would highly recommend FB Construction for your home project!"

Small jobs welcome

"They were super-duper on time or a bit early. The owner of the company actually gets involved in the work... a rare occurrence for sure. Their price was very reasonable and they hit the time frame on the head. I had a small issue, called Joseph about it and he came out inside of 40 minutes and he fixed the problem personally in about 20 minutes. Extremely professional and pleasant and they don't mess up the house, and actually kept the place clean. I will use them again - definitely!"

"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!"

"I had a small job and trouble finding professional help for my small job replacing the shingles on the roof of my wood garden shed -- 12x6 size. Once I removed the tools inside to prepare for their work, I realized I also needed the floor replaced. They completed both jobs within a few hours; they cleaned up afterwards, I am now prepared for keeping my lawnmower and other tools dry and ready for next season. They were a pleasure to work with. Their price was fair."

Customers say: True professional

"Very nice job building new porch steps, replacing some decking and painting the porch. Frank communicated very well stair options and pricing. Brandon was super friendly and a very good carpenter. My only quibble was that where the stair railing met my columns, the railing was cut perpendicular, instead of round to fit the column. But this is a minor issue, and overall I’m very satisfied."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Des Plaines, 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.
