Get a Plainfield deck that stays tight to the house and solid underfoot for years. We build new decks, rebuild stairs and railings, and fix the rot you can see and the rot you cannot.
Deck and porch work covers new decks in treated lumber or composite, stairs and railings built to current code, and repairs to the boards, joists, posts and ledgers that hold it all up. Most deck failures begin where the deck meets the house, so the ledger is the first thing we look at on any job. A new ledger gets flashing behind and over it and is bolted to the house framing, not nailed. If an existing ledger is wrong, we fix it before we touch anything else, because new boards on a bad connection only hide the problem.
We cover Plainfield every week across Will County, coming in on Route 59, Route 126 and 127th Street. If your Plainfield yard is flat and open, a deck off the back door can sit low, and a low deck has its own trouble: the joists stay close to damp ground and need room to dry out. We plan the height, the footing locations and the airflow under the frame before we draw anything. When the deck stands higher off a walkout or a sloped yard, the posts, bracing and guards change, and the estimate spells that out.
The board that ties the deck to your house gets flashing to shed water and through-bolts into the rim of the house framing.
Posts sit on concrete footings dug deep enough that winter frost does not heave the deck out of level.
We lay the surface you pick, with the gaps and fastening that material needs.
Steps get even risers and a solid landing at the bottom, so nobody catches a toe on the one step that runs taller.
Guards go on wherever the drop calls for them, at the height and baluster spacing the inspector checks.
Soft boards, split joists and posts rotted at grade get cut out and replaced with new treated lumber.
Our free estimate starts in the yard, where we measure, mark likely footing spots and talk through height, stairs and material with you. You get all of it in writing, permit included, before you commit to anything. Once the Village of Plainfield signs off, we dig, and the crew shows up on the days we said, scheduled around each inspection. Should a footing hole or the house wall turn up a problem, it gets priced on paper and waits for your yes. The last thing we do is walk the deck with you, shake every rail and leave the yard raked.
