A well-designed porch becomes your favorite place to relax, welcome guests, or enjoy a quiet moment at the end of the day. Homeowners across Chicago’s northwest suburbs count on American Deck Builders to create porches that feel like a natural part of their homes.
From classic front entries to quiet screened-in back porches, we design outdoor spaces that match your routine and resist the Midwest weather.
Front And Back Porch Solutions For Any Home
Your porch should offer comfort, function, and a visual connection to the rest of your home. We help homeowners choose designs that feel like they’ve always been part of the structure.
- Front Porches that Welcome and Impress: Build a front porch that adds charm and matches your home’s architectural character. These spaces create a warm, usable entryway that makes your home feel more inviting.
- Back Porches for Privacy and Retreat: Choose a layout that gives you space to dine, rest, or watch the sunset. Back porches also add resale value and outdoor functionality without changing your footprint.
- Built with Proven Materials: We use cedar, treated pine, composite, and weather-resistant systems from Trex, TimberTech, and Deckorators for long-term durability.
- Construction that Holds Up: Our team uses hidden fasteners, reinforced fascia, and full-length boards, avoiding shortcuts like butt joints that lead to warping and splitting over time.
Screened-In Porches With Comfort And Coverage
A screened-in porch gives you a breeze-filled outdoor room without the bugs. These structures are perfect for relaxing, eating, or working outside while protecting from the sun and pollen.
- Three-Season Use Without Full Enclosure: Enjoy a usable space from spring through late fall. These porches offer natural light and airflow, even in unpredictable Midwest weather.
- Built to Withstand the Elements: We use framing techniques that resist sagging, movement, and seasonal shifts. You’ll feel the difference in structural stability from the first step.
- Modular Comfort Options: Our EZE Breeze porch systems have sliding panels that adjust airflow and keep rain out. This easy upgrade adds comfort and value.
- Design Support Every Step of the Way: Every project includes 3D renderings, material selection help, and clear timelines. You’ll always know what to expect and when.
Customization Options That Fit Your Lifestyle
Complete your porch with the small upgrades that make it fit your life. We offer reliable add-ons that increase usability and reflect your style.
- Code-Compliant Railings: Choose from aluminum, wood, or composite rails that meet safety standards and match your porch’s look.
- Lighting, Fans, and Power Options: We install ceiling fans, outlets, and lights to extend porch use into the evening and improve comfort on hot days.
- Weather-Resistant Flooring Choices: Pick from composite, pressure-treated wood, or pavers. These surfaces handle water and wear with less upkeep.
- Local Knowledge, Local Reach: We’ve built porches in Algonquin, Palatine, Barrington, and more. Our team understands neighborhood styles, setbacks, and HOA needs.
