Deck & Porch Construction in Addison

Addison front entries and back decks, built right

We build and repair decks and front porches, and much of that work comes down to the parts you use every day: the steps, the landing and the rail you grab on the way in. Loose railings and treads that rock are the first signs of trouble, and they usually point to something underneath, like a rotted stringer or a post that has pulled loose. We fix the cause, not just the part you can see. New decks go in treated lumber or composite, with stairs, landings and railings built to current code.

We reach Addison on I-290 and I-355, with Lake Street, Route 53 and Army Trail Road getting us across the village. It is a DuPage County town, and if your house has a raised front door with a wood stoop or porch, the rail and steps take more weather than almost any other part of the house. A railing post that is only nailed to a rim board will loosen no matter how many times it gets tightened. When we rebuild one, the posts are bolted through and blocked so the rail stays tight when someone leans on it.

How an Addison porch or deck job runs

We look at the steps, the rail and the framing underneath, then write out the job piece by piece with the permit included. You approve the scope before we order material. Taking apart old steps sometimes shows a rotted rim board or a footing that has sunk, and any change like that is priced in writing and approved by you before we fix it. We tell you ahead of time which days the front steps will be closed, and we walk the finished work with you at the end.
