Outdoor Living Design-Build in Aurora, Illinois
Ace of Decks is based in Aurora. We design and build custom decks, louvered pergolas, retractable screen systems and complete outdoor environments for Aurora homes, engineered in 3D before construction and delivered at a fixed price.
Aurora is not a service area. It is where we are
Most builders list a dozen towns and drive to all of them. Our shop is at 2600 Beverly Drive. When we build in Aurora we are working minutes from where the trailers are parked, and that changes the parts of a project nobody puts in a brochure.
It means a crew that is not burning an hour of daylight each way. It means the forgotten bracket is a short drive, not a lost afternoon. It means that when something needs looking at two years after the build, we are still here, and you know exactly where to find us. A company that lives in the city it builds in cannot afford a bad job on a street it drives down every week.
What we build does not change because the address is local. Composite decking on Fortress steel framing, because steel does not rot, twist or warp and will not be the reason a deck gets torn out in fifteen years. Techo-Bloc hardscape set on a base detailed for Illinois frost. Motorized louvered roofs engineered for the snow load this state actually gets, not a mild-climate kit. Retractable screens that make mosquito season optional, and the kitchens, fire and lighting that keep a yard working from spring into November.
The seasonal math is the same here as anywhere in the western suburbs, and it drives more design decisions than homeowners expect. Nobody wants a space that works for one perfect month. That is why so many of our projects pair a louvered roof with motorized screens from the start. The combination is what turns a fair-weather deck into a room you use in April and October, and designing both together costs meaningfully less than adding the second layer later.
Aurora is a big city with a lot of different housing in it, and the right answer genuinely changes street to street. Older lots usually mean grade, drainage and mature trees, which are things to compose with rather than fight. Newer subdivisions more often mean a wide flat yard that needs architecture and some intimacy before it stops feeling like furniture on grass. Some neighborhoods bring an HOA architectural review into the picture and some do not.
Working out which of those applies to your address is not something we guess at from a photo. It is what the site visit is for, and it is fifteen minutes of diligence that prevents weeks of revision later.
We handle the full permit and inspection process with the City of Aurora on every build, and it is included in the construction agreement rather than billed as a surprise. Because every project is engineered from a completed 3D design, the price you sign is the price you pay. You can see finished builds on our Work page, each one delivered as it was drawn, which is the whole point of designing first.

Aurora questions, answered directly
Who builds high-end outdoor living spaces in Aurora?
Ace of Decks is a design-build firm based in Aurora, at 2600 Beverly Drive. We design and build premium decks, pergolas, screen systems and complete outdoor environments throughout the city. Every project is designed in 3D before construction and built at a fixed price.
Do you handle Aurora permits?
Yes. We manage the full permit and inspection process with the City of Aurora on every project, and it is included in the fixed-price construction agreement rather than billed separately.
Does being local make it cheaper?
Not directly, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. What it changes is how the job runs. Shorter drives mean more of the day spent building, a missing part does not cost an afternoon, and we are still here years later if something needs looking at.
What do Aurora homeowners typically invest?
Deck-primary projects typically run $60,000–$90,000; integrated systems combining deck, hardscape, cover or screens typically run $60,000–$150,000; and complete flagship environments range from $180,000 to $300,000+. Every figure is fixed from a finished 3D design.
How long does a project take in Aurora?
Plan on roughly four to five months from first conversation to completed build for a typical project, including 3D design, City of Aurora permitting and construction. Larger multi-layer environments run longer, and the real schedule is set with you during design.
