From first call to final walkthrough — here's how we deliver deck & patio construction in Glencoe.
We assess your yard grade, sun exposure, access points, and utility locations. Together we design the layout, select materials, and finalize features like railings, lighting, and built-ins.
We prepare drawings, submit to your municipality, and obtain the building permit. Most suburbs require permits for any attached deck or paver area over a certain size.
Footings are excavated below the frost line, posts are set in concrete, and the structural frame — beams, joists, ledger board — is built to code specifications.
Deck boards, railing systems, stairs, and any custom features like pergolas, benches, or lighting are installed. Paver patios receive gravel base, sand leveling, and edge restraints.
We schedule the municipal inspection, walk you through care and maintenance, and ensure every detail meets our standards before the project is complete.

“Brand new composite deck off the back of our house, about 400 sq ft with built-in benches and planters. The design is exactly what we envisioned. Survived its first winter with zero issues. CrestLine does top-notch outdoor work.”
“CrestLine installed engineered hardwood throughout our main floor — about 1,200 sq ft. The transitions between rooms are seamless and the stain matches our existing staircase. They moved all the furniture and put it back. First class.”
“CrestLine cleaned out all the gutters and downspouts on our two-story home. They sent before and after photos, which was a nice touch. Also spotted a loose gutter bracket and secured it at no extra charge. Will definitely book them again in spring.”
