Deck & Porch Construction in Orland Park, IL

Choosing and building a deck in Orland Park

Most deck conversations come down to one choice early: composite or treated lumber. Composite runs higher up front, does not need sealing and mostly asks for a wash in spring. Treated wood is the lower build cost, and it needs a sealer or stain every few years to keep it from graying and checking. Whichever you pick, the frame underneath is treated lumber, the ledger is flashed and bolted to the house, and the stairs and railings meet current code.

Orland Park is on our regular route, and we get there on I-80, LaGrange Road, 159th Street and Wolf Road. It is a Cook County village that meets Homer Glen, Mokena and Palos Park along its edges. If your back door sits several feet above the yard, the deck becomes a set of stairs as much as a platform, and composite stair treads need closer stringer spacing than wood. We plan that in from the start so the stairs feel as firm as the deck.

Deck and porch work in Orland Park

Composite decks

Boards and fascia come in the color you pick, set on joists spaced for composite so nothing flexes.

Treated lumber decks

Framing and decking rated for outdoor use keep the build cost lower, and the wood is ready to seal once it dries.

Code stairs and landings

Risers are even, tread depth is right, and landings go in where the run requires one.

Railings

Wood, composite or metal railing is set to code height with posts tied into the frame.

Repairs to existing decks

Rotted boards, joists, posts and ledgers are replaced so you can keep the deck you have.

Front porch work

Porch steps, columns, railings and ceilings get rebuilt where they have weathered.

How the job runs, start to finish

You get a free estimate at the house and a written price for both composite and treated wood when you want to compare. The scope shows the frame, the decking, the railings and the permit, so you can see where the money goes. Changes you make along the way, or rot we find in an existing deck, are written up and approved by you before we do them. We pull the village permit, book the inspections and close out with a walkthrough.

FAQ

Deck & Porch Construction in Orland Park: questions

How much upkeep does a treated wood deck need?

Plan on cleaning and sealing it every few years. Staining and sealing is a separate service handled by our painting crew, so you can have it done once the new wood dries out.

Does Orland Park need a permit for a new deck?

A new deck or a structural repair typically needs a village permit and inspections. We put the application together, pull the permit and schedule the inspections.

How long from signing to a finished deck?

The permit review sets the start. Once it is approved, we give you dates in writing and work the days we said.

Do you build decks outside Orland Park?

Yes. Our crew also builds and repairs decks in Homer Glen, Mokena, Frankfort and Palos Heights.

Can I get both prices before I decide?

Yes. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will price composite and treated wood on the same written estimate.
