Illinois winters are hard on outdoor structures. We build decks and patios with the right footings, flashing and materials so they still look right in year ten — not just the summer they're built.

  • Composite & PVC decking (Trex, TimberTech, Azek)
  • Cedar and pressure-treated framing
  • Paver patios & fire pits
  • Pergolas & covered porches
  • Deck rebuilds & board replacement
  • Railings & lighting

Materials we work with

  • Trex Transcend & TimberTech

  • Unilock & Belgard pavers

    Frost-depth footings — not surface blocks.

  3. 3
    Frame & deck

    Concealed fasteners, joist tape, real flashing at the ledger.

    Railings, stairs, lighting, cleanup.

FAQs

What deck material lasts longest in Illinois?

Capped composite (Trex Transcend, TimberTech Azek) shrugs off freeze/thaw far better than wood. We recommend it for 90% of Rockford-area builds.

Do I need a permit for a deck in Rockford?

Yes — anything over 30" off grade or attached to the house needs a permit. We handle it.
