Deck Building in Loves Park, IL

A good deck changes how you live at home. It’s where summer evenings stretch a little longer, where the kids track in grass clippings, and where neighbors always seem to stop by for “just one more” chat. That’s what we build here in Loves Park, spaces that feel like home, only bigger.

When you live in northern Illinois, you learn quickly that outdoor spaces need to handle everything from heat, rain, snow, to the occasional hailstorm that makes you check your car afterward. 

We build decks that can take it. Every board, fastener, and beam is chosen with this area’s weather in mind, and installed to look good for years. 

Our crew works like a small-town team should: steady, reliable, and respectful of your space. We plan carefully, communicate clearly, and show up when we say we will. You’ll always know what’s happening and why. 

Most of all, we treat your project like it’s happening in our own backyard, because it practically is. We live and work here, too, so we care about how every deck turns out.

Hard Decks did a very professional, beautiful job replacing my deck with a Trex composite deck and helping with related issues.

Jayme, Andy, Shawn, and the rest of the team were very personable, detailed and precise in their work, and showed such a strong work ethic. They’re skilled carpenters who gave daily updates as to their progress. 

I’m so pleased with what they’ve done and would highly recommend them.
