Real projects

Real decks. Real before and afters.

Same house, same angle. Watch one come apart and go back together, then drag the handles below to see more. These are RR builds in towns we work in every week.

One teardown, start to finish

An aging wood deck came out and a composite deck went back in its place, with black aluminum railings and a proper stair run down to the yard.

That is the job most people call us for. If your posts are soft or the deck moves underfoot, this is what deck replacement actually looks like. If the frame is still sound, you likely want the cheaper re-deck instead, and we will tell you which one you need.

Materials

Composite or wood? We build both.

Most deck companies around here only sell composite, because it's the bigger ticket. We'll tell you honestly which one fits your yard and your budget.

Tan composite deck boards with white posts and black balusters at golden hour Lowest upkeep

Composite and PVC

Capped boards from Trex, TimberTech, Azek, Fiberon and Deckorators. No staining and no sealing, backed by 25 to 50 year manufacturer warranties. It costs more up front and less over the life of the deck.

  • No annual staining
  • 25 to 50 year warranties
  • Holds color through Illinois winters
Natural cedar deck with matching steps and a cedar lattice privacy panel Lowest cost to build

Cedar and pressure-treated

Real wood, real grain, and the most affordable way to get a deck built. Cedar holds up beautifully with a re-coat every few years. Pressure-treated is the budget workhorse and it's what most of the frames in this area are made of anyway.

  • Lowest build cost
  • Natural wood look and feel
  • Re-coat every few years

Who you're hiring

Twenty years of decks, built out of Roselle

RR Affordable Deck Builders is family owned and based right here in Roselle. Ryan has been building decks in these towns for over twenty years, and he's still the one who comes out to your estimate.

We keep our own crew. The people who quote your deck are the people who build it, which is the whole reason we can stand behind the work.

More about RR

Why we do this

To give homeowners a dependable, honest building experience, and to lay a foundation of biblical integrity under every deck we build.

RR is named for Ryan and his oldest daughter, Rosalina, who still turns up on job sites. Ryan is building a company his two girls can take on one day, not one that chases the quick win and disappears. That is why the crew is ours, the price is written down, and we tell you when you need the cheaper job.

We first contacted Ryan back in April. But we decided to replace the concrete patio first, which was delayed a couple of times. Ryan was very patient with us as he was also delayed, finally completing the project the middle of July. We could not be happier the the quality craftsmanship that went into our deck. If you want your deck done right, you will go w…

We had composite decking on the floor of our deck, finally decided it was time to do the railings and steps. Ryan came out not only to size up the job for pricing, but also with material samples for railing options. We chose an option we weren't even aware of and went with the Trex Select aluminum railing. We had several companies come out for estimate…

FAQ

Common questions about building a deck

How much does a new deck cost in the northwest suburbs?

Most decks we build land between $8,000 and $40,000 installed. Material drives most of it. Pressure-treated is the cheapest way to get a deck, cedar sits in the middle, and composite costs more up front and less over its life. Height, stairs and railing style move the number too. That is a typical range, not a quote. Our 2026 deck cost guide breaks it down by material and size.

Do I need a permit to build a deck?

Yes. Every village in DuPage County and northwest Cook requires a permit for a new deck, and most require one for a full replacement. We pull it and handle the village paperwork as part of the job. See our deck permit guide for how it works town by town.

How long does a deck take to build?

Most decks take two to four weeks of build time once the permit is issued. The permit itself is usually the longest wait and it varies by village. We give you a real start window at the estimate, not a vague promise.

Should I go composite or wood?

It depends on your budget and how much upkeep you want. Composite does not need staining and carries a 25 to 50 year manufacturer warranty. Real wood costs less to build and looks like wood, but cedar wants a re-coat every few years. We build both and we will tell you honestly which one fits. Full comparison in our composite vs wood guide.

When should I book a deck for next season?

Earlier than most people think. Spring fills up fast around here, so the calendar for March through May is usually spoken for by late winter. January and February are the quiet months and the easiest time to lock a spot.
