Deck builders in Elgin work to a city definition of the word. In Elgin a deck is a platform under 4 feet from grade, and any part that is 4 feet or higher is a balcony, which needs plans sealed by a licensed architect or structural engineer. The page has 40 deck builders for a city of about 114,934 residents. Elgin lists a deck among the common residential projects that need a Quick Permit Application, and its Deck and Balcony Quick Guide says no work may begin before the permit is issued.
Elgin asks for a plat of survey or site plan showing existing and proposed improvements with dimensions and setbacks. Piers must be at least 42 inches below finish grade, though a deck that is not attached to the building does not need 42-inch piers. Guardrails are required when the deck is 30 inches or more above grade, and they must be at least 36 inches high. These numbers matter when you compare a plan with a price.
