Your answer
Let us help you choose
This is the conversation we have at every deck estimate in Bloomington-Normal. Answer three questions and we will tell you which material we would build for you, and what it costs you either way.
Composite
Costs more to build and almost nothing to own. No staining or sealing, it will not split or splinter, and it keeps its color instead of weathering gray. Best if you are staying put.
Pressure treated
Builds the same size deck for less, and you can stain it any color. Wood moves though. It will warp, split and crack, and it needs staining and sealing on a schedule.

Straight answers
Deck questions from Bloomington-Normal homeowners
Should I choose composite or pressure treated?
Use the picker above and you will have our answer in about ten seconds. The short version: composite if you are staying put, treated if budget is leading. We put both numbers on the same quote so you are comparing decks, not sales pitches.
How long does it take to build a deck?
It depends on the size, the height off the ground and the weather. You get the timeline in writing with your quote, and you will know the schedule before we start rather than after.
Can you add onto my existing deck?
Sometimes. It comes down to what the current frame and footings will carry. We look at the structure first and tell you honestly whether extending it is a good idea.
Do you build fences too?
Yes. Chain link, privacy fence and gates, including drive gates. Doing both together usually saves you a trip charge and gets the gate placed to work with your new stairs.
What does the two year warranty actually cover?
Our workmanship, on most projects. That means anything that fails because of how it was installed. Materials carry their own manufacturer warranty. We will tell you exactly what is covered on your project before you sign anything.
What is the best time of year to build?
We build year round in Bloomington-Normal, but spring fills up fast. Book the estimate early in the year and you are usually eating out there by summer.
