After the storms a couple weeks ago, I needed a new roof and reached out to Dad Exteriors. Michael came out and did a Dad Check, which was worth the $295 on its own. He was thorough, walked me through the whole quote so I actually understood what I was paying for. The crew showed up on time, respected my property, and cleaned everything up when they were done. The whole process was easier than I expected. Highly recommend if you need roofing done right.Posted on Google Chloe KeithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

When building a deck in the unpredictable climate, the deck installation contractor, whom property owners would hire in Chicago, should prioritize using premium materials. We follow Dad Standards™ so your project withstands our harsh local environment.
We utilize these high-performance boards because they resist fading, staining, and scratching while mimicking the natural beauty of real wood.
These structures provide a modern aesthetic and incredible durability, offering a rust-proof solution that requires virtually zero maintenance over the years.
To achieve a smooth, barefoot-friendly surface, we install clips between boards that eliminate visible screws and prevent common tripping hazards.
Every connection is secured with structural-grade, hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel bolts to resist corrosion from Chicago’s humidity and snow.
Our frames feature kiln-dried, pressure-treated lumber sized correctly to exceed local load requirements. Expect your foundation to stay perfectly level and strong.
We integrate weather-resistant lighting into posts and stairs to enhance safety and extend the usability of your outdoor space after dark.
To stop rotting of the underlying timber frame, we apply specialized joist tape and deck waterproofing services

Done Right. Done By Dad.
We serve Chicago’s North Side and North Shore communities including:
Handling all permits and inspections is part of our service at Dad Exteriors. We manage applications, coordinate with the City of Chicago, and provide completion documentation for your records.
Building most decks takes 1 to 3 weeks, depending on permit timelines and weather. Larger projects with pergolas or outdoor kitchens require additional time for sourcing materials and installation.
Building decks over concrete or rooftops requires assessing structural capacity and waterproofing needs. We inspect foundations, ensure proper drainage, and install protective membranes preventing future water damage and deterioration.
Checking ventilation and insulation is essential for rooftop decks. We inspect joists, ledger connections, posts, and footings. Reviewing the underlying waterproof membranes prevents future issues before building your new deck structure.
Questions, estimates, or inspections – we’ll respond within one business day.
