About Our Composite Decks in Chicago, IL

Chicago deserves better than the Composite Decks options available at most providers. The real difference emerges during the construction phase. The typical approach to Composite Decks misses the critical substructure, neglecting the precise joist spacing required for composite boards. At Burns Carpentry, we start every project with a code compliant frame using professionally graded joists secured with corrosion resistant fasteners. This rigorous structural discipline is what guarantees your deck withstands decades of use in Chicago.

A further major differentiator is the precision of the decking installation. Simply screwing down boards leads to future problems. Our team installs each board with a blind fastening method that eliminates visible screw heads and potential moisture traps. We also implement exacting board gapping protocols as mandated by composite material engineers. This marriage of unseen strength and visible perfection delivers a Composite Deck that performs as advertised for your IL property.

Excellence is non-negotiable at Burns Carpentry. It is central to our mission. From initial consultation to final result, our standards remain uncompromising. We believe every Chicago customer is worth our full effort.

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.

Wish I could leave 25 stars!!! One of the nicest contractors I’ve dealt with for sure and the quality of his work is MAGNIFICENT!!
Andrew and team built a deck fo me in the summer of 2024. His price was fair, he kept in touch throughout the process, (excellent communication) and did an absolutely SPLENDID job. Attention to detail and craftsmanship is unsurpassed. Many people have commented on his work and the deck is really gorgeous. .
Also had him do some wall repair and painting for me in the cold months— again, SUPER work. He’s definitely my go-to guy for all carpentry and painting work. Can’t say enough good things about Andrew Burns!

How We Adapt to Cary Conditions

Our expertise in local climate ensures reliable service year-round

Climate Overview

Living in IL means dealing with a deck builder with profound local expertise. Our famously harsh winters feature punishing freeze and thaw sequences. This constant expansion and contraction can warp wood and loosen fasteners if the construction is not meticulous. The spring season introduces a host of problems stemming from excessive moisture. Heavy rains and melting snow test the water resistance of every surface and joint. A deck built without proper slope and drainage will simply not survive here. Our strategy involves choosing building products certified for drastic temperature fluctuations. Our installation process incorporates careful spacing measurements and upgraded connector systems. This forward thinking methodology guarantees your structure stays level and firm long term.

Weather Patterns

The intense summer sun and humidity in Chicago create another layer of demands. Ultraviolet radiation can fade and degrade many common decking materials rapidly. Meanwhile, the high humidity encourages wood to swell and can promote mold growth. These partnered factors call for a deliberate and knowledgeable method of picking components and finish applications. Burns Carpentry addresses this by offering premium polymer capped composites and tropical hardwoods. These materials are purposely designed to withstand color change, spot formation, and water uptake. In addition, we utilize commercial quality finishing products that establish a strong defensive layer. The pleasure you derive from your outdoor living area will not be diminished by environmentally caused damage.

Service Adaptations

The legendary wind coming off Lake Michigan poses a significant structural challenge for outdoor projects. These persistent gales can place huge horizontal loads on a deck that is above ground level. Any platform lacking secure attachment and adequate bracing is at risk for shifting or more serious failure. Our philosophy views every build as a lasting, load bearing part of your property's footprint. This involves pouring substantial cement bases that go beneath the specified winter frost level to avoid displacement. Our skeletal building methods feature heavy duty storm connectors and extra cross supports for lateral stability. Our process begins with a detailed evaluation of your site to gauge the particular gust conditions present. The result is a deck that stands unwavering against the Chicago breeze, season after season.

Year-Round Reliability

The rapid seasonal shifts in Chicago demand a deck builder who anticipates year round conditions. Focusing exclusively on fair weather use ensures failure when the cold season's first blast hits. Our superior results stem from a planning and construction process guided by the entire four season meteorological experience. From selecting frost resistant posts to ensuring seamless gutter compatibility on covered decks, we think ahead. Our detailed project consultations always include a discussion about your year round usage goals. This allows us to recommend design features like deeper railings for snow accumulation or orientation for sunlight. Our commitment to local expertise means your investment is protected against the realities of Illinois weather. Selecting our company provides you with an ally who knows a quality Chicago deck needs the toughness of its hometown.
