What our clients are saying?

What do we use on every Chicago deck service?

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.

1. TimberTech® Composite Decking

We utilize these high-performance boards because they resist fading, staining, and scratching while mimicking the natural beauty of real wood.

2. Aluminum Pergola Systems

These structures provide a modern aesthetic and incredible durability, offering a rust-proof solution that requires virtually zero maintenance over the years.

3. Hidden Fastener Systems

To achieve a smooth, barefoot-friendly surface, we install clips between boards that eliminate visible screws and prevent common tripping hazards.

4. Premium Hardware

Every connection is secured with structural-grade, hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel bolts to resist corrosion from Chicago’s humidity and snow.

5. Structural Components

Our frames feature kiln-dried, pressure-treated lumber sized correctly to exceed local load requirements. Expect your foundation to stay perfectly level and strong.

6. Low-Voltage LED Lighting

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle deck permits and inspections?

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.
