From first call to final walkthrough — here's how we deliver deck & patio construction in Mount Prospect.
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.
