Carpenter Bird Construction did an incredible job. For a while I wanted to get my deck repaired, but just decided to get the whole thing renovated. I’m SO happy I did because it looks amazing!
- Steve D.
Excellent job. Repaired three season room that had issues with rotted wood that required professional help. Would hire again.
- Jennifer C.
Nothing but problems from the get go. Wrong windows ordered by salesman and didn't realize it till it's too late. Now my house is COLD all the time!!! Don't even want to know how bad winter will be and my heating bills!!! Windows leaked water into my house and saturated my carpet and subfloor...
- Roderick H.
Deck work appears to be good but the facia work was total garbage!

"Terrible! Contracted with the company last Summer. They came out to perform the work, and everything started out fine. However, that is when the good experienced stopped. The company was supposed to paint my deck, gazebo, front porch and trim around my house. I paid that 50% upfront for materials and work, and was to provide final payment at the completion of the job. However, they took so long to paint the deck and gazebo, that they never made it to the trim or the front porch. They also told me they would caulk all gaps prior to painting, and never did it. The project took them so long that the weather started to turn cold, and they were not able to complete the work, having only done a very light first coat on the deck and gazebo, which was done so poorly that it is all peeling up and looks terrible. They promised me in writing that they would come out and complete the job, but they changed the scope of work to only include the deck and gazebo, and were no longer going to paint the porch or the trim on the house. I requested my money back as they had not completed the work, but they refused to provide any type of refund and said that the money paid already would cover the deck and gazebo work, and that I would owe them nothing moving forward after they completed the job. Funny thing is though, they never came back to complete the job. I have reached out to them numerous times both last year and this year to schedule the completion of this work. This year, Josh and Samantha gave me the excuse that due to COVID-19, they are not able to complete the work until the Governor reduces restrictions. However, once the restrictions were lifted allowing outdoor work, this company still refused to do the work siting health concerns. I would have accepted that excuse under normal circumstances, except I see that this company has been completing jobs all summer, as you can see from the reviews on this website. So they are just lying to me to avoid completing this work or providing a refund. Do not use them, they will steal your money and not complete the work!!!!"

FAQs for deck repair projects in Cortland, IL
While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.
There are a few ways to make your deck look new without professional power washing. First, you can use either store-bought cleaners or dish soap and water to mop your deck regularly to clean off accumulated dirt. To clean your deck and remove mold, mix two gallons of warm water with a ½ cup of distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, rinse the area, and then scrub with a stiff-bristled broom.
The cost to professionally pressure wash your deck is $150 on average. This cost can range from $100 to $600, depending on the size of your deck and its condition.
For an average deck of about 300 square feet, you can expect to pay around $100. However, if you have a spacious 1,000-square-foot deck or more, expect that cost to be closer to $300 to $400. Likewise, if it’s been a long time since you deep cleaned your deck, the deck professional might need extra time and to use deck-specific detergent, which will increase the overall cost.
You should have your deck professionally cleaned twice a year—once in the spring and once in the fall. A springtime cleaning wipes away grime and mold that accumulated during the wet winter months, making it sparkly clean for summer use. Likewise, cleaning your deck in the fall allows you to wash away grease and leftover mess from the fun summer months rather than letting them soak into your deck over the winter.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9 per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
