Our Work

More than
just a deck.

From a single custom deck to a complete outdoor environment spanning multiple levels, structures, and materials — every project we take on is designed from the ground up as a cohesive whole. We don't bolt features together. We build outdoor rooms that feel like a natural extension of the home.

Who we are

A boutique firm.
Not a volume builder.

Ace of Decks is a design-first outdoor living company serving the Chicago suburbs — Aurora, Naperville, Hinsdale, Oak Brook, Wheaton, and surrounding communities across DuPage, Kane, and Will County.

We take on a limited number of projects each year. Every project is personally designed, permitted, and built by our team. You work with the same people from the first call to the final walkthrough — not a sales rep who hands you off after you sign.

How we do it

The A.C.E. Method.
Every project. Every time.

Before we quote a price, we understand the project. Before we build, you've seen it in 3D. Our process exists to protect you from surprises — at every stage.

A
Phase A — Align

Discovery & Consultation

A free 15-minute call to understand your vision, followed by an in-person site visit where we walk the space, take measurements, and review material samples together.

$0 — $150

Phase C — Create

3D Design & Planning

Full 3D renderings, architectural plans, and a line-item estimate. You approve every detail before we move forward. Two revisions included.

$3,000

Phase E — Execute

Permits, Build & Walkthrough

We pull every permit, manage every inspection, and build your approved design exactly as planned. Fixed price. No surprises. Final walkthrough at completion.

The honest difference

Most contractors give you a price.
We give you a plan.

In the Chicago suburbs, the typical process looks like this: you describe what you want, someone measures your yard, and a few days later you get a number. No drawings. No 3D design. No real conversation about how the space works. You're buying labor and materials — not expertise.

The typical contractor

Bid. Build. Move on.

  • Quote based on square footage, not design intent
  • No architectural drawings or 3D renderings
  • Features planned separately, not as a system
  • Wood framing that warps, rots, or shifts within years
  • Price changes after you've signed
  • You handle permits and inspections yourself
Ace of Decks

  • Full 3D design before any commitment to build
  • Every element designed as part of one environment
  • Fortress steel framing — standard on every project
  • Fixed price from your approved design — no surprises
  • We pull every permit and manage every inspection

"Kevin and team did a great job. The craftsmanship on every single cut was beautiful — 45-degree miter cuts on all the angles. The drink rail is a must. Best money I have spent in a long time."

"Kevin's work was flawless. He was by far the most responsive, had the best communication and best quality out of all the contractors we worked with. We finally have the backyard we always wanted."
