Deck & Porch Construction in Arlington Heights

Arlington Heights front porches and back decks

We rebuild and repair front porches, from the columns that hold up the porch roof to the steps, railings and ceiling, and we build and repair decks in treated lumber or composite. On a porch, the column bases and the bottom of the steps take the most water, and that is where rot usually starts. When a column has to come out, we set temporary supports under the porch roof, replace it, and check the base it stands on. Water-stained ceiling boards get replaced only after the leak above them is found.

We cover Arlington Heights up Route 53, with Arlington Heights Road and Northwest Highway getting us to the streets around downtown and the Metra station. It is a Cook County village. Where an older Arlington Heights house still has its original wood porch, we try to match the column style, railing profile and trim so the repair does not stand out from the street. If a match is not made today, we tell you before the estimate is signed, not after the old piece is off.

How an Arlington Heights porch job runs

We look at the porch from the roof edge down to the footings, note what can be saved and what has to be replaced, and write it up with a price for each piece. You approve the scope and the materials before we order anything. Pulling a column or opening the ceiling can show rot in the beam or framing above, and when it does we stop, show you, and price it in writing first. We walk the finished porch with you before we pack up.
