Platinum Decking
Deck Builders & Contractors in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 8, 2019
“When it came to finding a good composite deck building contractor near Barrington, I was stumped. We are new to the Barrington & Inverness area and did not know many local deck builders or decking contractors nearby that may be able to help with replacing or repairing my crumbling back deck. We moved into an older home in downtown Barrington that we knew had deck repairs to be done from the initial inspections but soon found out that we needed to replace the entire deck after a more thorough deck inspection was done. I didnt really know where to start when it came to replacing our deck or if there were actually contractors that specialized in deck building in Barrington. We knew we liked the idea of maintanence free decking, like the composite decks you see in Home Depot or Lowes (aka Trex decking -which is the brand we ultimately chose), but that was pretty much the extend of our knowledge about decks or building a deck. Luckily, I found Platinum Decking online when searching for a local Barrington deck builder. Tom and Kyle came out for an initial deck inspection and took some time to explain some of the composite decking options with different manufacturers including the difference between Trex, Azek (which is the same as Timbertech now I guess) and other composite decking brands. They were able to show us the difference in costs vs rebuilding a wood deck vs composite deck as well which was super helpful! After meeting with Tom from Platinum decks, we realized half the work in finding a good decking contractor is having the knowledge to determine the good local contractors from the bad. The fact that these guys were ready to spend the energy educating us spoke volumes when it came time make a decision which is one of the big reasons we chose Platinum Decking in Barrington to build our new deck. The entire deck building process was seamless from start to finish. The deck building crews were very friendly and took the time to explain some unforeseen deck ledger issues as soon as they came up. After a few weeks of hard work, we finally had the composite wood deck of our dreams! We are thrilled with the results and 100% recommend using Platinum Decking for any Barrington area homeowners who are looking for a great deck building company nearby!”
Red Sky Painting
Deck Builders & Contractors in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 6, 2017
“At the begining we hired Red Sky Painting for our interior painting, some drywall replacement, power wash and seal our deck. They did a wonderful job leaving my deck like new. We wanted to replace our windows and ask Dominik if he knew of any other contractor to give us an estimate and he actualy refer us to someone and he also placed a bid on our windows project, and based on his online reviews we decided to move forward and continue working with Dominik, replacing 16 windows in total, Overall Red Sky Painting did not dissapoint and I will recommend Red Sky Painting. Thank you”
Woodcor Carpentry
Deck Builders & Contractors in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 11, 2023
“I was so impressed with WoodCor Carpentry. Luis provides service that is above and beyond any I have received from a contractor. Here are some bullet points: 1) Luis showed up on time and ready to go on the free estimate (yes, can you believe it - a free estimate without any pressure to sign contract on the spot!) 2) While providing the estimate, Luis provided numerous options for my deck of which to choose from. I never felt like I was being led to make a certain choice (whether it be materials, design, etc) 3)The job was done ahead of schedule. Yes, that's right, I wrote AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. This made the overall project far LESS expensive than the estimate. Additionally, Luis was on-site for the duration of the project which was really impressive. The finished project is SUPERB. I’m so amazed with their work that I’m going to have them do a patio next! All-in-all, I highly recommend WoodCor and will be letting friends, family, and strangers know that Woodcor is the only way to go!”
Midwest Screens LLC
Deck Builders & Contractors in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 24, 2013
“Our company has worked with Midwest Screens for the past few years. Their customer service (before and after the sale), attention to detail, and quality of products is outstanding. They are responsive to customer concerns and questions. From the office staff, to the worker on site, Midwest Screens is top notch all the way around. I would highly recommend them to anyone, which is a rarity these days.”

When the temperature heats up in Chicago, there’s nothing like having a deck or patio to kick back on and enjoy the warm weather. A functional deck design and patio layout is dependent on meeting your specific needs, so it's a space that needs to be created carefully. Luckily, there are professionals to handle your deck installation or patio design — hiring local Chicago, IL deck builders or patio installers is your surefire ticket to creating an outdoor oasis!

What services do deck and patio companies in Chicago, IL provide?


To help you choose the ideal style, configuration and materials for your deck or patio, your deck and patio contractor will survey your Chicago, IL lot and your home to come up with a design that complements your exterior as well as being structurally sound. He or she will recommend sizes, heights and construction materials that suit your lifestyle and climate, as well as explain the best stain or finish options. Additionally, deck companies and patio services can provide insight into additional components such as outdoor kitchens, patio covers, fire pits, outdoor lighting, arbors and more.

Because safety is such an important consideration for decks and other elevated structures, your local deck builders should be trained in building codes and other safety measures.

  • How long have you been in the business?

Is it better to build a deck or a patio?

It’s better to build a patio when:

  1. Privacy is a priority: Patio provides a sense of privacy, especially when enclosed.
  2. Budget and low maintenance are the priority: Patios are generally more cost-effective to build and require less maintenance.
  3. The ground is flat: For even ground, constructing a patio is easier and more straightforward.

It’s better to build a deck when:

  1. Scenic views are desired: Decks offer better views.
  2. You are fine with obtaining building permits and inspections: Decks typically require permits and inspections due to their structural impact on the home.
