Deck Building, Repair & Restoration
Custom decks built to last — and tired decks brought back to life — across McHenry County by a veteran-owned, family-run crew.
Decks That Are Built Right the First Time
A deck is where summer happens — so it should be solid, safe, and built to handle Illinois seasons. Sexton Home Improvement & Repairs has been building and repairing decks across McHenry County since 2016, and our customers keep coming back because we do it right and treat their property with respect.
Whether you want a brand-new custom deck, a repair to keep yours safe, or a full restoration, we work with you from layout to finish — and we build to code so it passes inspection. We've even rescued decks that other contractors left failing inspection.

What Our Deck Customers Say
Thank you for your team's support in making our new house a home that's safe for our growing family. Semper fi!
The deck looks amazing — my wife and I are very happy with it and already got to enjoy it this weekend! I cannot thank you enough for your great service and super-fast completion. After what we went through with the previous contractor, this was a breath of fresh air. Bob, you and your team did a phenomenal job!
I give Sexton a rating of 12 out of 10. Family-run, honest, and excels with great quality of workmanship. My deck was so damaged by the previous contractor that it repeatedly failed city inspections. Sexton repaired it to meet city codes and pass inspection. Their prompt, quality work has given me great peace of mind. Much thanks to Jane, Bob, and crew.

Decks — Frequently Asked Questions
Do you build new decks or only repair them?
Both. We design and build custom new decks, and we repair, reinforce, and restore existing ones. After a free visit we'll tell you honestly whether a repair or a rebuild makes more sense.
Composite or treated lumber?
Treated lumber costs less up front; composite costs more but is nearly maintenance-free and lasts longer. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your budget and how you'll use the deck.
Can you fix a deck that failed inspection?
Yes — it's a common call. We've brought decks that repeatedly failed city inspection up to code so they finally pass.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We're fully insured, veteran-owned and family-run, and we handle permits and inspections for you.
