Our Story

How We Ended Up Doing This

We build and fix decks for homeowners in Bolingbrook and the towns around it, and most of us got into this trade because we like working with our hands outdoors instead of sitting behind a desk. A deck is one of the few home improvements you actually walk out onto every evening, and we like being part of that.

If you're on this page, you're probably dealing with a deck that's started to sag, a railing that moves more than it should, or boards that have cupped and gone silver. We pull the decking and check the frame underneath before we touch anything cosmetic, because a fresh coat of stain over a rotted joist just hides the problem for another season. Fixing the structure first is what keeps the deck from becoming the same headache again in a couple years.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed and Insured

We're licensed and insured for deck construction work, and we can send certificates before you sign anything. That protects you if something goes wrong on your property during the build.

Written Estimates

Every estimate we give is in writing and breaks down material and labor costs separately. That way you know exactly what you're paying for before a single board gets cut.

On-Time Scheduling

Deck work is seasonal and weather-dependent, so we give realistic timelines instead of ones that sound good on the phone. If a concrete pour or stain job needs to move because of rain, we call before you notice we're not there.

Quality Materials

We frame with pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact where it matters, and we carry composite brands like Trex and TimberTech for clients who don't want to maintain wood. The material you pick changes how the deck looks in ten years, not just today.

Our Own Crew

We don't hand your project off to a rotating set of subcontractors. The people framing your deck are the same people who walked your yard and talked through the layout with you.

Local to Bolingbrook

Working in this area for years means we know which towns have stricter permit offices and how clay soil around here behaves under a footing. That local knowledge affects how we build, not just where we drive to.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

What people want to know about us before hiring.

How long have you been building decks?
Deck building experience varies by contractor, and it's worth asking directly how long a company has been building and repairing decks in the local area. Longer experience with the specific freeze-thaw and soil conditions of a region tends to matter more than years in business alone.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
Some deck builders use an in-house crew for every project, while others subcontract framing or finishing work to outside labor. Using the same crew throughout a project generally means more consistent quality control from the footings to the final board.
Can I see examples of past deck projects?
Photos of past deck projects, including different styles like multi-level decks, composite builds, and railing work, give a good sense of a contractor's range and finish quality. Asking to see examples similar to the project being planned is the most useful way to evaluate the work.
Why hire a smaller deck builder instead of a big remodeling company?
A smaller, local deck builder often provides more direct communication with the person actually building the deck, rather than routing calls through layers of sales staff at a large remodeling company. Local builders also tend to know regional permit requirements and soil conditions better than a national chain.
Where is Legacy Deck Company based?
Legacy Deck Company is based in Bolingbrook, IL, and serves homeowners throughout the surrounding western Chicago suburbs. Being local means shorter travel time for site visits and faster response for repair calls.
What's your availability like during busy season?
Availability for deck builders tightens up considerably in spring and early summer, which is peak season for both new builds and repairs. Booking a quote in late winter or early spring, before the rush, usually results in a faster start date.
Do you clean up the site when the job is done?
Site cleanup after a deck project should include hauling away old decking material, leftover lumber scraps, and any packaging from hardware or composite boards. A thorough deck builder sweeps the yard for stray screws and nails before calling the job finished, since those are a real hazard for bare feet and pets.
What if something on my property gets damaged during the work?
A licensed and insured deck builder carries liability coverage that protects a homeowner's property, including landscaping, fencing, or siding, if it's accidentally damaged during construction. Certificates of insurance should be available on request before work starts, not after a problem happens.
Will you take over a deck another contractor started or abandoned?
Many deck builders will take over a project another contractor started or walked away from, though it usually requires an inspection first to check the existing footings and framing before building on top of them. Work that doesn't meet current code or was built on undersized footings may need to be partly redone rather than simply continued.
How can I tell the work is actually being done correctly?
Checking that footings are poured below the frost line, joist hangers are properly nailed rather than just screwed, and ledger boards are flashed against the house are good ways to verify a deck is being built correctly. Asking to see the frame before the decking boards go down is a reasonable request any legitimate builder should welcome.
