Tailored Deck Design and Build
Imagine the pure satisfaction of stepping onto your custom-built deck as twilight paints the sky, a cool beverage awaiting you, the sizzle of the grill promising a delicious meal, and the laughter of friends and family creating the perfect soundtrack. A professionally designed deck in Mattoon transcends typical home renovations, it’s a strategic investment in both your quality of life and your home’s future market appeal.
Why Invest in a Quality Deck
When it comes to deck construction, there’s a clear divide between ordinary and extraordinary results. The gap between a basic deck and a truly impressive outdoor space hinges on three fundamental components: strategic planning, superior materials, and masterful execution.
A premium deck delivers:
Adds roughly 65-75% return on investment when you sell your home
Creates usable living space at a fraction of the cost of an interior addition
Provides the perfect setting for everything from morning coffee to family gatherings
Extends your home's functional footprint without the complexity of full construction
But here’s what many homeowners don’t realize: that cheap deck quote you got? It might end up costing you more in the long run when boards start warping and fasteners start popping after just a few seasons.
Why Great Decks Start with Smart Design
How do you plan to use your deck? (Entertaining, dining, relaxing?)
What's your traffic pattern from house to yard?
Where does the sun hit throughout the day?
What views do you want to highlight or minimize?
How does the deck connect visually to your home's architecture?
Configuring Your Deck
Cookie-cutter rectangular decks are a thing of the past. Today’s homeowners are embracing:
Multi-level sections that define different use areas
Built-in seating that eliminates the need for bulky furniture
Pergolas for partial shade and visual interest
Integrated planters to bring greenery into the space
Curved or angled sections that break up the monotony
Our Mattoon portfolio includes everything from full outdoor kitchens to secluded spa areas and yes, even specially designed dog grooming spots. Unique requests? That’s our specialty.
Our Deck Construction Method
First Meeting
We start with a thorough discussion about your needs, wants, and budget. This includes:
Examining your outdoor space and home architecture
Understanding how you plan to use the deck
Discussing material options and their pros/cons
Exploring feature additions that might enhance functionality
Personalized Blueprint
Our designers craft a complete visual plan that covers:
To-scale drawings showing dimensions and layout
3D renderings to help visualize the finished project
Material selections and feature recommendations

Quality Build Services
Quality craftsmanship defines each stage of our work:
Proper foundation work (the part nobody sees but makes all the difference)
Precise framing with adequate support
Careful installation of decking and features
Attention to detail on finishing touches
The foundation determines everything. We’ve torn out countless decks that failed because builders cut corners on footings or compromised structural spacing. Our decks are engineered for stability, no wobbling, no shifting, no separation from your home.
