Chicago summers are short and worth every square foot. We build decks, pergolas, patios, and outdoor living spaces that extend your home's livable footprint — built to handle Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles and look great doing it.
Outdoor structures in Chicago need to be built for the climate — not just for aesthetics. We size footings correctly for frost depth, use hardware rated for ground contact, and select materials that handle Chicago's temperature swings without warping, splitting, or failing.
Our team brings 25+ years of outdoor construction expertise to every deck and patio project. We handle all city permits, inspections, and zoning requirements for outdoor structures.

Both work well when installed correctly. Composite requires less maintenance (no staining or sealing) and has a longer warranty. Wood has a lower upfront cost and is easier to repair. We help you choose based on your budget, aesthetic preference, and maintenance appetite.
Chicago's frost depth is 42 inches — footings must extend below frost line to prevent heaving. We always size and pour footings correctly, which is the single most important structural decision in a Chicago deck.
Most decks take 1–3 weeks from permit approval to completion. Larger projects with pergolas, outdoor kitchens, or complex designs take 3–6 weeks.
