A Better Way to Build

The deck that holds up
after the first winter.

The real question is how they hold up over time — and whether you actually use the space the way you thought you would. At Ace of Decks, we focus on structure first, then design around how you want to live.

The Foundation

Wood rots.
Steel doesn't.

Most builders frame with wood that deteriorates within a decade. We use Fortress Evolution steel — the same material used in commercial construction. It's the biggest structural difference between an Ace of Decks build and everything else.

Decking Materials

Nine collections.
One right choice for you.

We're a TimberTech certified installer and have chosen to work exclusively with their products — because they perform better in Midwest conditions than anything else on the market.

TimberTech Composite Decking
Composite · Wood Fiber + Polymer

Natural look of wood without the maintenance — no staining, no sealing, no warping.

Prime+ Collection
Clean, consistent profiles with subtle wood grain. Strong performance entry-level composite.
Subtle Wood Grain · Multiple Colors
Terrain Collection
Enhanced color depth with a more realistic wood grain. Popular across the Chicago suburbs.
Natural Wood Look · Warm Tones
Terrain+ Collection
Improved color blending delivering sophisticated colors like sanded white oak and walnut.
Dark Oak · Natural White Oak · Weathered Oak
Reserve Collection
Brings the charm of reclaimed wood — vibrant, rustic aesthetic with irresistible appeal.
Antique Leather · Dark Roast · Driftwood · Reclaimed Chestnut
Legacy Collection
Hand-scraped finish with complex hues — no two boards exactly alike. Artisanal character.
Whitewash Cedar · Ashwood · Pecan · Tigerwood · Mocha · Espresso
Composite is ideal for most homeowners — durable, low maintenance, and available in a wide range of styles for both traditional and modern homes.
TimberTech Advanced PVC Decking
Advanced PVC · Fully Synthetic

Fully synthetic — no wood fiber. Better moisture resistance, less seasonal expansion, longer lifespan.

Harvest Collection
Refined cathedral grain with a clean, consistent look. Strong entry-level PVC for performance-focused builds.
Cathedral Grain · Classic Colors
Harvest+ Collection
Enhanced color variation and grain depth over standard Harvest. Better aesthetics, same PVC performance.
Enhanced Color Blending · Premium Finish
Landmark Collection
Distinctive multi-tonal color blending that mimics premium hardwood. One of our most popular for luxury builds.
Multi-Tonal · Rich Hardwood Aesthetic
Vintage Collection
The pinnacle of TimberTech PVC. Deep, complex color variation and rich wood character.
Deep Color · Complex Grain · Premium Finish
PVC is our recommendation for elevated decks, high-moisture environments, and homeowners who want the longest lifespan with the least maintenance. Worth the upgrade.

The detail most people
get wrong.

Railing plays a bigger role than most people expect — it defines sightlines, open feel, and the overall aesthetic of the entire deck.

Aluminum railing
Aluminum Railing

Clean, low-maintenance, and incredibly durable. Our most popular choice — the sleek profile keeps sightlines open while delivering structural integrity that lasts decades.

Cable railing
Cable Rail

Horizontal stainless steel cables create a modern, minimalist look with near-invisible profiles. Ideal for properties with views worth preserving.

Glass panel railing
Glass & Privacy Panels

Frameless glass panels deliver an upscale, resort-like aesthetic. Privacy panels define spaces and reduce wind exposure without closing off the outdoor feel.

Complete outdoor living system by Ace of Decks

More Than a Deck

A deck is the start.
Not the finish line.

Most builds evolve into complete outdoor living environments — pergolas, retractable screens, lighting, outdoor kitchens. We approach every project as part of a bigger system, not separate pieces.

Common Questions

What homeowners ask
every single time.

The questions every homeowner asks — answered honestly before you pick up the phone.

How much does a custom deck cost in the Chicago suburbs?+
Projects start at $60,000 for a well-built single-level composite deck. Multi-level and elevated decks typically run $100,000–$180,000+. Full outdoor living systems go up to $300,000+. We give you real ranges during your free consultation.
Why do you only work with TimberTech?+
We've worked with enough products to know what holds up in Illinois winters and what doesn't. TimberTech consistently outperforms everything else in Midwest conditions — the warranty, the finish quality, and the long-term performance are simply better. We won't install products we don't believe in.
What's the difference between composite and PVC decking?+
TimberTech composite blends wood fibers and polymer — natural look, low maintenance. TimberTech Advanced PVC is fully synthetic — better moisture resistance, less seasonal expansion, longer lifespan. PVC is the premium choice for elevated decks or high-exposure applications.
Why Fortress steel framing instead of wood?+
Wood framing warps, rots, and deteriorates — especially with Illinois freeze-thaw cycles. Fortress Evolution steel is 10× stronger, rot-proof, fire-rated Class A, and carries a 25-year warranty. It's what we put under every elevated project.
Do you handle permits?+
Yes — completely. We handle design drawings, submission, and inspection scheduling as part of every project. The cost is included in your quote. You never touch a permit office.
How long does a deck build take?+
From signed contract to completed deck: 1–3 months total. Permit approval typically takes 3–5 weeks. Construction itself is usually 5–10 business days once permits are pulled and materials are staged.
