Composite Decking for Evanston Homes

Composite decking is the ideal solution for Evanston’s weather patterns — especially near the lake where humidity and moisture accelerate wood rot. Homeowners choose Trex and TimberTech because the materials keep their color, resist moisture, and never require painting, staining, or sealing.

Composite also provides the modern aesthetic that aligns with Evanston’s mix of contemporary homes, historic properties, and updated renovations. From simple backyard platforms to large entertainment spaces, the performance and style of composite decking make it a long-term investment.

Composite Deck Installation in Evanston

Every project begins with a design consultation where we evaluate your backyard, home layout, and long-term goals. Many Evanston properties have unique grading, tight lot lines, or elevated rear entrances — all of which influence the final design.

Our installation process covers everything from reinforced framing and drainage considerations to custom layouts, railing styles, lighting, and finishing. We build decks that integrate seamlessly with your home while standing up to years of Midwest weather.

Deck Replacement & Resurfacing for Evanston Homes

If your deck is unsafe, rotting, or simply outdated, we offer two upgrade paths depending on its condition:
Full Deck Replacement
We remove the old deck, rebuild the supporting frame to today’s standards, and install new composite boards for a clean, modern finish. This is the best option for aging or moisture-damaged decks common in Evanston.
Composite Deck Resurfacing
If the frame is still structurally sound, we remove the old wood surface and replace it with composite materials. This refreshes the entire look at a lower cost than full replacement.
