Get Your Free EstimateA Composite Deck is an outdoor platform built using engineered boards made from a mix of recycled wood fibers and plastic, wrapped in a protective polymer shell. When Prairie Crest Deckworks builds your Composite Deck, the job includes removing any old structure, pouring solid concrete footings below the local frost line, framing with pressure-treated lumber or steel, and fastening the composite boards with hidden clips for a clean surface. You end up with a solid, splinter-free deck that resists fading, staining, and mold.
Prairie Crest Deckworks builds these Composite Decks to handle the heavy seasonal shifts we get around here. Winters bring freezing temperatures and heavy snow loads, while summers bring humidity and intense sun. Wood decks take a beating under those conditions and demand constant sanding and sealing. Composite materials do not warp or rot out after a few freeze-thaw cycles, saving you weekends of maintenance work.
Cicero properties often have tight lot lines and specific setback rules governed by local building codes. Prairie Crest Deckworks pulls the proper permits and makes sure your Composite Deck layout fits your yard without triggering zoning headaches. We also account for the heavy clay soil common in the area, digging deep footings so your Composite Deck does not shift when the ground freezes and thaws.
Homeowners often ask us if composite boards get too hot in the sun. Darker colors do absorb heat on July afternoons, but lighter tones stay comfortable under bare feet. We help you pick a color that matches your house style and stays practical for everyday use on your Composite Deck.
Most standard Composite Deck builds take between one to two weeks from the first dig to the final cleanup. Prairie Crest Deckworks hauls away all job site debris and leaves your Cicero yard ready for patio furniture. For Cicero homes, Prairie Crest Deckworks is here for all your Composite Deck needs.
Cicero weather puts outdoor structures through extreme conditions. Property owners experience freezing winds blowing off the flat plains in January and baking heat in July. Traditional wood dries out, splits, and demands a fresh coat of stain every couple of years just to look decent. Composite Decks stand up to those temperature swings without cracking or absorbing moisture.
Upkeep is the main reason homeowners switch to Composite Decks. You never have to spend your weekends power-washing, scraping, or staining. A simple wash with soap and water once a year keeps Composite Decks looking sharp. That saves you both time and money on chemical stains and sealers over the life of the deck.
Building Composite Decks is also an investment in your home's resale value. Buyers in the Chicago suburbs want move-in-ready outdoor spaces, not a project that requires immediate repairs. A clean composite deck gives you usable square footage right away without any deferred maintenance waiting for the next owner.
