Porches, Stairs & Decks
Porches and exterior stairs rebuilt to current Chicago code, which is the item the City is least willing to be patient about.
This is work we self-perform, week in and week out. If it is on your notice, it is on our schedule.
How the work goes
- 1We look at whether it can be repaired in place or genuinely needs rebuilding, and tell you straight
- 2Drawings prepared and the permit filed under our licence
- 3Built to the current Chicago porch requirements, guards and connections included
- 4Rough and final inspections scheduled and met, so the item closes for good
What owners worry about first
A porch rebuild sounds like the worst line on your notice. It is also the most predictable one to price, because the code spells out exactly what has to be there.
Did this come off a violation notice?
Then read the violation page instead. It covers what the inspector was looking at, what it costs you to wait, and what the department needs to see before the item closes.
Your porch or stairs were called dangerous and hazardous →Usually done at the same time
Glass, sashes, frames and exterior doors made to work and lock again. The single most common item on Chicago notices.
Fences, garages and sheds repaired or taken down properly. Often the cheapest line on the notice, and one the City will not forget.
Ceilings, walls and floors put right, with the leak behind them fixed first so you are not doing it twice.
