Our Process


What's standing between you and a beautiful new deck? Not as much as you think! Take a look at what to expect from the process of building a new deck at your home near Chicago when you work with the trusted deck contractors at Illinois Deck.

At Illinois Deck, we believe that setting up expectations is so important for ensuring that we're on the same page with our clients from the first day. That's why we use an organized process for helping you to get what you want from your deck project. Take a look at what to expect once you reach out to us to discuss your deck project.

Step 1: Your Consultation


A beautiful deck always begins with a consultation. Once you reach out to us, we'll schedule an in-person visit that allows us to see the site of your new deck. This visit allows us to investigate the topography and setting. You'll be able to show us any examples or inspirations during this initial consultation. While our team is always focused on the technical aspects of building decks for our clients, we also prioritize taking time to learn about your lifestyle to get an understanding of how you intend to use your deck. We'll get back to you shortly after this consultation to provide a detailed quote that allows you to make your decision.


Step 2: Designing Your Deck


Once you've approved your quote, we can move into the exciting design phase. Our team will collaborate with you to establish a custom design based on your needs, preferences and expectations. As part of our commitment to customer satisfaction, we can provide you with several different options to help you visualize the potential for your final project. Rest assured that we'll work on design concepts with you until you feel fully satisfied.


Step 3: Installation


Once your design plans are settled, our crew will get to work on preparing the area for your deck project. This might include doing excavation work, finishing structural work, obtaining permits, and more. We'll also secure all decking materials for your project. Our team will communicate with you throughout the preparation phase to ensure that you're being updated regarding projected timelines.

We are dedicated to working efficiently and thoroughly during deck construction. Our crew members will always be respectful of your property. You can count on us to leave the area exactly how we found it after we clean up at the end of the project.

At Illinois Deck, we've perfected our process of helping our clients design their dream decks through years of building decks of all types for properties of all types. We want to make sure that you feel informed during every step. We take pride in communicating throughout the process because we know that building a deck is a big commitment for a homeowner.
