Project Requirements & Challenges

Industry-Specific Requirements

Deck restoration projects require a deep understanding of wood types, structural engineering principles, and local building codes. Our team ensured compliance with all Chicago-specific regulations, including load-bearing requirements and safety standards. The selection of materials was critical, as the new planks needed to withstand Chicago's variable weather conditions while maintaining their aesthetic qualities.

Challenges

One of the primary challenges was the discovery of minor structural damage beneath the old decking boards. This required additional repairs to ensure the new installation would be secure and long-lasting. Weather conditions also posed a challenge, as we needed to work around rain forecasts to avoid moisture damage to the new wood.

Implementation Complexities

The logistical complexity of removing and disposing of the old decking materials while minimizing disruption to the homeowners was a key consideration. Our team coordinated closely with the clients to schedule work during convenient times and ensured the worksite was kept clean and safe throughout the project.

Solutions & Innovations

Solutions

To address the structural damage, our team reinforced the underlying framework before installing the new planks. We also used weather-resistant sealants to protect the wood from future moisture damage. The selection of high-quality wood ensured that the deck would remain durable and attractive for years to come.

Quality Assurance

Each step of the project was subject to rigorous quality checks, from the initial assessment to the final finishing touches. Our team conducted multiple inspections to ensure that all work met our high standards and the clients' expectations.
