Arlington Heights has about 76,005 residents and a village permit process written with decks in mind, so a deck project here starts with paperwork before a post goes in. This page covers 40 deck builders in Arlington Heights. Four are based in the village: Royal Deck, K7W Home Service Inc., MapleDeck Porch & Deck Builder and Ashwood Deck Builder.
The village issues deck permits through its online Civic Access portal and has a permit type for residential decks and porches. Construction plans have to be dimensioned and scaled and show footings, foundations and railing heights. A plat of survey showing current conditions is also required, with the deck drawn in and its distance to two intersecting lot lines. A contractor's proposal giving the work details and project cost is part of the application. The village amended the model residential code to delete several permit exemptions, so check with the village before assuming a small job can skip a permit.
The frost line depth in the village's amended residential code is 42 inches. A free-standing deck that is not directly reached from a door of the main building does not need footings below the frost line. That makes the question of attached or free-standing one to settle with your builder before the drawings are made.
Royal Deck builds custom composite decks in the village and resurfaces existing ones. It is rated 5.0 from 117 reviews and also builds gazebos, pavilions, covered porches, screened rooms, three-season rooms and under-deck rooms, with vinyl, composite, aluminum, glass or cable railings.

MapleDeck Porch & Deck Builder is rated 5.0 from 37 reviews and designs porches to match a home's style. Ashwood Deck Builder is rated 5.0 from 21 reviews and also lists remodeling, siding, windows and concrete among its services.

Unique Deck Builders has built outdoor spaces around Chicago and the North Shore since 1982, keeps a 2,500-square-foot showroom, and works in Deckorators, TimberTech, Azek, Trex, cedar, ipe and pau lope with aluminum and cable railings. Platinum Decking Schaumburg builds composite only.
Northbrook is a second home base for the trade. FB Construction, Inc is a family-owned general contractor there with more than 40 years in business, and it builds decks in wood, composite or PVC with custom railings, stairs, pergolas and built-in seating. Deck Doc Staining and Sealing is also in Northbrook, mostly staining, sealing and restoring decks, with deck building as well. Diamond Decking builds composite decks across Glenview, Wilmette, Northbrook and the North Shore and is rated 5.0 from 66 reviews.

HX Home Solutions in Wheeling is rated 4.9 from 187 reviews and installs composite, TimberTech PVC and cedar decks beside its windows, doors, roofing and siding work.
