Composite deck projects come with a five-year workmanship warranty, while wood decks include a two-year workmanship guarantee. This means if any installation issues pop up because of our work during those periods, we’ll take care of it. Composite decking also comes with its own manufacturer warranty, which can be up to 50 years for certain brands like Azek. Wood and composite decks have different maintenance and durability needs, so the warranty is set up to match those differences.
Deck demolition and deck replacement are both included as part of a full deck replacement project. This means the old deck gets safely removed and the area is cleaned up before building a brand new deck in its place. Removal, disposal, and everything needed to prep for the new build are all handled, so you don’t have to coordinate with multiple contractors.
Choosing between a wood deck and composite decking really comes down to your budget and how much time you want to spend on maintenance. Wood decks like cedar or pressure-treated pine usually cost less upfront but need regular staining, painting, or sealing to keep them from rotting or warping. Composite decks cost more at first, but they’re super low-maintenance and usually just need an occasional wash—no sanding or staining required. If you let us know your budget and how much work you want to put into upkeep, we can help you break down the options and figure out which kind of deck fits your needs best.
Yes, deck installation is handled from start to finish, which means everything from the design, getting materials, building, and adding important features like railings and stairs is included. After construction, the crew also does a final cleanup so your new deck is ready to use right away. This makes the entire process simple and convenient since you don’t have to work with different contractors for each step.
Deck repair services are available throughout the greater Chicagoland area, covering a range of nearby communities. Most common issues like loose or damaged boards, popped nails, broken or wobbly railings, cracked steps, and surface rot can usually be repaired without tearing down the whole deck. If the damage is local or limited—say, a few boards need replacing, railings are loose, or the deck surface looks worn—a repair is all that’s needed. But if there’s major structural damage, widespread rot, severe instability, or foundational problems, a full replacement might be a better, safer option. Checking the support posts and main framing can help figure out whether repair or replacement is best. For questions about your specific situation, you can get a free estimate to find out what makes the most sense.
Most composite deck builders charge around $100 per square foot for a new composite deck. This usually includes materials, labor, and everything needed to get the job done, like concrete, screws, lumber, and railings. Prices can vary based on the type of composite you choose, the size of your deck, and any custom features you want, but $100 per square foot is a solid average when planning your budget.
Deck staining and sealing is available after your new wood deck is installed. Staining helps bring out the natural color while sealing offers protection from moisture, UV rays, and weather. This service is especially important for wood decks because it can help prevent rot, splintering, and fading over time. Regular maintenance like staining and sealing keeps your deck looking good and lasting longer.

A typical deck construction project usually takes about 2 to 4 weeks from the time you get your initial estimate to final completion. This timeline includes time for the site visit, design approval, getting permits, ordering materials, and the actual building process. Weather, project size, and complexity can affect how long it takes, but most standard decks are built within this timeframe. If you’re adding custom features or if there are delays with materials or permits, it might take a little longer. You’ll get a better idea of the timeline after your estimate and site visit.
Custom layouts and features like built-in seating, stairs, planters, or lighting can be included in your deck design. During your consultation, you can talk about the specific features you want, and a plan can be made to fit your space and needs.
