FAQ

Clear answers before the first board is ordered.

These are starter questions for homeowners comparing materials, scope, and the practical steps involved in a custom deck project.

Does MRBCC build both cedar and composite decks?

Yes. The planning conversation should compare maintenance, feel, budget, color, and how each material will age on your specific site.

Can MRBCC help with stairs, railings, lighting, and pergolas?

Yes. Those details are treated as part of the deck design, not afterthoughts, so the finished space feels intentional and complete.

What should I prepare before asking for a quote?

A rough size, photos of the current space, preferred materials, timeline, and the way you want to use the deck are enough to start.

Does the site need to be inspected before pricing?

A site walk-through is the best way to evaluate grade, access, existing structure, drainage, shade, and practical build constraints.

What areas does MRBCC serve?

MRBCC focuses on Lake County, Illinois and nearby communities. The Service Area page lists the first target cities.
