You may be considering a new deck, and that’s fantastic. Decks are a great addition to any home. They are aesthetically appealing, give you somewhere to lounge outside, and add value to your home.
With all of this said, the deck-building process can seem overwhelming. There are a few things that you’ll definitely want to know going in, and you’ll need to pick which deck is best to suit your needs and your home. Don’t worry, though…LimakWay is here to help.

Let’s take a quick look at the deck-building process so you are more informed, and then we can get into the types of decks that are available…
The deck-building process is multi-faceted, and it starts with hiring the right deck builders in River Forest—LimakWay. LimakWay will then discuss what you are looking for with you, and what potential options you have for your specific yard. From there, a deck contractor in River Forest will come out to your house to survey the property. It’s important for your contractor to take a look and make sure your property can structurally support a deck before they get started with building your deck.
Once your contractor has decided that your property is able to support a deck, they’ll begin the design phase. This part is a lot of fun! Your designer will work with you to build the deck you had envisioned. Finally, the building process will begin.
Building a deck can be a big endeavor, and how long it takes depends on a variety of factors. Keep in mind something like a multi-tier deck is going to be exponentially more difficult to build than a floating deck. The design phase is also dependent on how quickly the client is able to make decisions, and how soon the contractor and client can come to an agreement on the design.

For roof decks, cleaning and membrane maintenance is an extremely important first step. The surface below the roof needs to be cleaned and inspected before any building has begun. Your contractor will want to make sure your roof is installed properly before getting to work on the deck.
Your roof’s condition, the roofing membrane your roof has, and other factors will need to be considered for the deck construction process. The actual type of roofing you have will also be a factor in the construction of your roof deck. There are a few materials your roof may be made of, which include steel, concrete, composite, wood sheathing, and more. Your contractor will determine the material your roof is made up of, then decide on next steps.
After your deck is completed, it’s time to start lounging! You get to go outside, read a book, do some barbequing, drink some cold beverages, and spend time with your family and friends. While spending time out on your deck is the fun part, if you want to keep having fun out on your deck, you’ll need to consider deck maintenance. If you are able to maintain your deck well, you won’t need to spend as much on repairs in the future.
You will want to make sure to inspect your deck regularly to ensure there is no rot, damage, or other issues with your deck. This is important both for the health of your deck and your own safety. If you find something wrong with your deck, make sure you contact a deck-building contractor in River Forest to have the deck professionally repaired.
There are certain types of wood that decks are built with that will require paraffin oil to maintain. This will help with the durability of the deck, and it will protect the deck from UV rays. It will also help to put oils back in the wood and prevent rot.
Make sure you take good care of your new deck so you can enjoy it for years to come.
There are a few different types of decks available, and the perfect deck for you will depend on your property and your specific needs. Below are a few different types of decks…
Wraparound decks are picturesque. They give a warm and inviting feeling to your property, and they are very functional. These types of decks—as the name implies—wrap around your house partially or fully. This gives you plenty of space to walk around and enjoy the view.
Many people love to relax on their wraparound deck. You have likely seen wraparound decks with rocking chairs and other lounging chairs. Wraparound decks allow you to spend hours outdoors enjoying the day in the shade.
Not only are wraparound decks super comfortable—but they also add value to your home! Prospective homeowners often look for wraparound decks or other forms of decks, especially on a property with a nice view and/or a nice yard.
If you want to spend more time outdoors lounging, a wraparound deck may be a great option for you.
Multi-tier decks are perfect for properties that are on an incline and can support a deck that has multiple layers. They look really neat, and they end up giving you a ton of space to walk around. On top of the amount of room you get, multi-tier decks can be built around trees and other vegetation—giving them a beautiful aesthetic appearance. This also allows for plenty of natural shade. Multi-tier decks are designed with steps to allow you to move around with ease and enjoy your deck.
If you have an elevated plot of land and you are looking for a fun and even whimsical deck, a multi-tier deck may be the perfect option for you.
If you have a sturdy roof that can support a rooftop deck, it’s an excellent choice to give you more space outdoors. Rooftop decks can be built anywhere, but they are an especially good choice for those living in the city. Often in cities, there is less space, and you may have a yard that is either small or non-existent! If this is the case, a rooftop deck may be the perfect option to give you some more space to spend time outside enjoying the sun and fresh air.
While the construction of a rooftop deck is similar to other decks, there are additional considerations because it is being built on top of another structure. Your roof will need to be inspected by an expert contractor to make sure a rooftop deck is an option for your specific roof. Also, you’ll need a flat roof for a rooftop deck.
If you would like to learn more and see if your home is a good candidate for a rooftop deck, reach out to LimakWay for a consultation.
Detached decks are visually interesting, as they sort of float in your yard like an island. These decks, as the name implies, are not attached to your house. Instead, they stand on their own. This gives a little extra privacy, and it allows you to spend more time outside enjoying your yard. Many people surround their detached deck with plants and vegetation both to add to the beauty of the deck, but also to provide a little privacy.
Because detached decks sit in your yard, they are generally a lot easier to construct. Most detached decks sit close to the ground, so there is no need or little need for stairs. Also, many places don’t require a permit for this type of deck (check with your specific city about this).
If you want a private getaway in your backyard, you should consider building a detached deck!
