Awesome Company !!!! I was referred to this Company and reached out to Andy (Owner) for an estimate. He came out promptly and gave me a detailed estimate. I accepted the proposal and scheduled for the work to be done this October .Andy and his crew Mike and Andrew arrived on time daily and did detailed work beyond my expectations. Their carpentry skills are exceptional and the electrical work they provided really helps detail the finished product. I would highly recommend this Company to anyone seeking quality work for a competitive price.

Andy and his team were awesome to work with from start to finish! Super easy to communicate during the proposal phase and always maintained great communication throughout scheduling the work and completing our new deck! During the work, they cleaned up the work area at the end of each day and showed great respect to our home and property! We couldn’t be happier with our new composite deck and lighting! The deck is antique leather color with dark walnut picture frame and drink rail. Thanks Andy to you and everyone on your team, great company to work with, you will be very pleased choosing them for your next project!

We couldn’t be happier with the outstanding job Andy and his team did on our deck! From start to finish, everyone was incredibly friendly, courteous, and professional. They showed up when they said they would, communicated well throughout the project, and worked extremely hard every day.

The quality of their workmanship is excellent, and it was clear that they take great pride in what they do. What really stood out was how respectful and pleasant everyone was to work with, making the entire process stress-free and enjoyable.

This was truly a great experience, and we highly recommend Andy and his team to anyone looking for quality work and exceptional service. Thank you for a job well done!

Andy & his crew did an outstanding job on our master bedroom LVP flooring. They removed the old carpet, layed out the new floor to minimize waste and repainted the base and installed new base shoe.

We had Andy & his fantastic crew do several upgrades to our home (Aug 2025): install new front door, install new patio door, sand and paint bannister black/white, remodel half-bath. The work is OUTSTANDING! It is of the highest quality and completed in a timely manner. Andy & crew always arrived ahead of scheduled times and had wonderful communications with us. Andy & crew are highly skilled and are meticulous craftsman. When Andy encounters problems he is able to troubleshoot them quickly and correctly. Very easy to work with. We HIGHLY recommend Burns carpentry for all your home remodel needs!

Andy and his crew at Burns Carpentry built our 20x20 Timbertech deck.As a woodworker myself, I appreciate attention to detail. Andy and his team came on time every morning and left the job site clean and orderly every day. All cuts were accurate and straight. We just love our new deck. Well built and sturdy. It should last many years and be easy to upkeep. Highly recommend Burns carpentry for any home remodeling project. I will be using them again.

How We Adapt to Cary Conditions

Our expertise in local climate ensures reliable service year-round

Climate Overview

The seasonal transitions in Arlington Heights demand a deck builder with deep local expertise. The intense summer sun and high humidity of our region can cause inferior wood to warp and fasteners to loosen prematurely. The winter months bring their own harsh reality of deep freezes and significant snow accumulation. A deck built without foresight for these conditions may suffer from cracked boards or unstable foundations. Our material selection process prioritizes products tested for the thermal stress typical of our Illinois climate. We integrate precise water shedding techniques to avoid ponding during seasonal thunderstorms. This attention to detail ensures your deck remains level and secure for years to come. We understand that a deck is a major investment for your Arlington Heights home, we build to defeat the weather.

Weather Patterns

The spring thaw in our area is particularly challenging for outdoor structures. Substantial moisture from melting winter accumulations and frequent precipitation soaks the soil. This frequently results in gradual sinking or tilting that undermines the foundational soundness. Our solution involves engineering the substructure with piers that extend to stable undisturbed soil below the freeze zone. This essential procedure stops frost heave damage during the deepest winter freezes. We also incorporate generous cross ventilation beneath the surface to reduce moisture retention and fungal growth. Our thorough planning tackles the underlying risks some contractors may ignore. The result is a deck foundation as reliable as the craftsmanship above it.

Service Adaptations

The summer season here brings more than high temperatures it includes powerful sun exposure. The sun's rays can fade and break down the surface of many decking materials over time. Burns Carpentry offers advanced composite and polymer capped options with superior UV inhibitors. These selections maintain their aesthetic appeal and material strength even under direct sunlight all day. We meticulously calculate board spacing to permit natural movement without buckling on the hottest days. This stops the development of raised edges or uneven surfaces that compromise both look and safety. Your enjoyment should not be hampered by concerns over splintering or surface burns from hot materials. We build decks intended for vibrant summer use, fully prepared for the local climate's demands.

Year-Round Reliability

The arrival of fall and winter in Illinois signals a time for your deck to face its toughest tests. We experience punishing winds, freezing rain, and dense snow loads throughout the colder season. Burns Carpentry constructs every frame with structural connectors and hurricane ties for added lateral strength. This robust building method defends the structure from high winds that can cause lateral shifting. We also specify screws over nails throughout the build to maintain grip as wood naturally contracts in dry winter air. Protecting every cut edge and core exposure is a critical step we never skip to stop capillary moisture absorption. This comprehensive preparation means your deck will emerge from winter ready for spring with minimal maintenance. Partnering with us secures a deck crafted with profound respect for the distinct and demanding four season environment of Illinois.
