Unique Deck Builders

Unique Deck Builders was an easy standout from day 1 when we were shopping for a contractor to complete our unfinished roof deck. Joel was extremely responsive and easily accessible – a trend that continued through the day the project was completed.



In addition to being obviously knowledgeable about building decks, Joel also impressed us with how transparent he was about the cost of the project. He helped us evaluate what deck materials made the most sense for the job so that we wouldn’t over or under-spend, but rather use materials that would look great, withstand Chicago’s climate and not break the bank. This was a stark contrast from other contractors that provided us quotes without even explaining what materials they were using and why. Some competitors quoted prices below Joel, but failed to point out they were using less quality wood that would have looked beaten down after a winter.



Joel’s team of workers has been with him over a decade. This is a testament to their dedication and skill level. They finished our project AHEAD of schedule. And, upon completion we noticed they did a lot of finishing touches that we wouldn’t even think to request, and they did so without trying to nickel-and-dime us.
