When it came to finding a good deck building contractor near Barrington, I was stumped. We are new to the Barrington & Inverness area and did not know many local deck builders or decking contractors nearby that may be able to help with replacing or repairing my crumbling back deck. We moved into an older home in downtown Barrington that we knew had deck repairs to be done from the initial inspections but soon found out that we needed to replace the entire deck after a more thorough deck inspection was done. I didnt really know where to start when it came to replacing our deck or if there were actually contractors that specialized in deck building in Barrington. We knew we liked the idea of maintanence free decking, like the composite decks you see in Home Depot or Lowes (aka Trex decking -which is the brand we ultimately chose), but that was pretty much the extend of our knowledge about decks or building a deck. Luckily, I found Platinum Decking online when searching for a local Barrington deck builder. Tom and Kyle came out for an initial deck inspection and took some time to explain some of the composite decking options with different manufacturers including the difference between Trex, Azek (which is the same as Timbertech now I guess) and other compsite decking brands. They were able to show us the difference in costs vs rebuilding a wood deck vs composite deck as well which was super helpful! After meeting with Tom from Platinum decks, we realized half the work in finding a good decking contractor is having the knowledge to determine the good local contractors from the bad. The fact that these guys were ready to spend the energy educating us spoke volumes when it came time make a decision which is one of the big reasons we chose Platinum Decking in Barrington to build our new deck. The entire deck building process was seamless from start to finish. The deck building crews were very friendly and took the time to explain some unforeseen deck ledger issues as soon as they came up. After a few weeks of hard work, we finally had the composite wood deck of our dreams! We are thrilled with the results and 100% recommend using Platinum Decking for any Barrington area homeowners who are looking for a great deck building company nearby! read more

Everyone at platinum decking was amazing. Christina was quick and efficient in our quote. She was very knowledgeable and made it a slam dunk picking this company versus other quotes. We met with Kyle at another clients home while they were finishing a deck. He answered any questions, extremely friendly, and has compassion about decking. Seeing a finished deck and the openness of Kyle solidified our choice for platinum deck to make our vision of the dream deck come true. Austin and Jason were the deck builders and were amazing. They were perfectionists and put in hard work to transform our previous "dead" wood deck into an amazing trex transcends dream deck. There is no true way of explaining how great they were to work with and the fantastic work/final product you will get. Thank you!! read more

I needed to construct a new deck to replace an old and unstable deck. Came across Platinum decking based on the detailed reviews given by costumers and clearly they were correct ! The guys are professionals and did a great job. But what I liked the most was how easy it was get held of their point person, Matt Rudig. When there was delay in getting the building permit from the village, Matt would apprise of the progress without having to chase him. Any queries or concerns you have, he would reply to your email / call you within 12 hrs ! I found their customer service to be an amazing quality. Some reviews have mentioned them to be a bit pricier compared to other but they still fall within range of other decking companies when you compare quotes. Overall, would highly recommend them. read more

We needed our 20-year-old cedar deck resurfaced with composite decking and metal railings. I contacted several contractors with my formal RFP accompanied by our original deck plans. Breana personally introduced us to Platinum Decking Schaumburg and bid on our project, which we accepted. She provided good service during their entire deck resurfacing process. We decided to go with TimberTech's Pro Decking and Westbury's Tuscany Aluminum Railings. Josh and Conner demolished the old deck surface and installed the new composite decking and aluminum railings. They knew exactly what to do and did it all very professionally. We are extremely pleased with the beautiful outcome. read more

Tom and Kyle did an excellent job for me when I was living in Champaign, IL. It started with needing an exterior paint job but after they inspected my deck, they pointed out several issues with rot and warping. Instead of going with some minor repairs their team built me a new Trex deck and it came out looking great! With the new paint job on the house as well I was very pleased with how my home looked. The quality of the job was great, but I really appreciated the communication throughout the process. And after the upgrades it was much easier for me to market and sell my home the next year. Great work guys! read more

What a fantastic job overall ! I The company recommended maintenance free materials (composite) which took only 2 days to order. The crew showed up on the delivery day to demolish old porch and installed the new one including railing in one day! They cleaned up all the debris and left the site spotless clean. I could not be happier. Professional, reliable and honest company. Easy to work with. I know I will enjoy my new porch for years to come and it is guaranteed maintenance free for 25 years. Love it. read more

Wow. Platinum Decking did what they said they would - create a porch and deck that we love. The lighting is a game changer. Adam, Kyle, Austin, Jason and Tony are amazing. If possible, they loved how our two projects turned out even more than we did. They arrive early, take pride in what they do, measure and cut precisely, take their time and leave it completely clean. Smiling the entire time. We are so happy that we never need to sand, stain or look at chipped paint again! Highly recommend. read more

One of the top when it comes to Barrington deck builders. I recently found my dream house in Barrington, but the only thing it was missing was a nice deck. I ultimately went with Platinum Decking because they're local to Barrington, and the estimate process was in-depth and they made it obvious they would work with me to get me exactly what I wanted, even if I didn't know exactly what I wanted. They recommended a Trex deck (the composite board type), which I've been in love with since. read more

The deck looks fantastic! The young men that built our deck were always on time, quite polite and very skilled. The railings that they installed on our front steps are amazing. We have had several compliments from our neighbors. I would highly recommend Platinum Decking. Their craftsmanship was excellent. They were a pleasure to work with from the first meeting to the cost proposal to the finished product. read more

Highly recommend! I received a flyer on the patio and contacted the company after seeing positive reviews. Competitive pricing, good communication, and quick work.
