Deck & Porch Construction in Lombard

Deck resurfacing and new decks in Lombard

Resurfacing means keeping the frame and replacing what you walk on and lean on: the decking, the stair treads, the fascia and the railings. It only works when the frame is sound, so we inspect the joists, beams, posts, footings and the ledger before we price it. Composite boards often need joists closer together than old wood decking did, so we check the spacing and add joists where needed. When the frame fails our inspection, we tell you, and we quote a new deck in treated lumber or composite instead.

Lombard is on our regular route, reached by I-355, Roosevelt Road and St. Charles Road, with Main Street, the Metra station and Lilacia Park in the middle of the village. It is a DuPage County village between Glen Ellyn and Villa Park. If your deck was built with joists on wider spacing, composite laid straight across them can feel springy underfoot, and running boards on a diagonal makes the span longer still. We count that before you pick a board, so the deck you choose feels solid.

How a Lombard resurfacing job runs

We inspect the frame during a free on-site visit and give you a written answer: resurface, repair then resurface, or rebuild. The estimate spells out the boards, railings, added joists and any repairs line by line. If old boards come up and a joist turns out to be soft, you get the cost of that fix in writing before we do it. Permits get pulled where the village requires them, and we finish by walking the new surface with you.

• Frame inspected before any resurfacing quote
• Joist spacing checked for the board you pick
• Rotted framing fixed before new boards
• Railings brought up to current code
• Old decking hauled away
• Changes approved in writing before we do them
