Photos and small sample chips only tell you so much. In our Cary showroom you can compare full-size materials in real light and plan every piece of your outdoor space in one visit.
Compare TimberTech, AZEK, Deckorators Voyage and EvaLast boards side by side. Feel the texture, see true colors, and find the board that fits how your family uses the deck.
Glass, horizontal cable, aluminum and composite railing, plus drink rail. See how each one changes your view and how it looks next to your decking color.
Stair, post cap and rail lighting shown lit up, so you know exactly how your deck will feel on a summer night before you choose.
Screened porch, window and roofing options, ceiling finishes and stone accents, so you can plan a covered space you'll use from spring through fall.
Vinyl and motorized louvered pergolas you can stand under. Open and close the louvers yourself and see how much shade each style gives you.
Grills, outdoor kitchen islands, fire tables, heaters, outdoor TVs and furniture to finish the space, all in the same building as your deck design team.
You're going to live with your deck for decades. Choosing it from a 3-inch sample chip at the kitchen table leaves too much to guesswork, especially when colors shift in sunlight and every board feels different underfoot.
Walking the showroom takes the guesswork out, so you can choose with confidence and love the result the day it's finished.
Pick a time that works for you. Booking means a designer is ready and waiting just for your project.

You're welcome to stop by during open hours, Tuesday through Saturday. If you're planning a deck, porch, pergola or outdoor kitchen, we recommend booking a visit so a designer is set aside just for your project. Mondays are by appointment only.
Most design visits take about an hour. That gives you time to compare decking and railing, talk through how you want to use the space and sketch out a rough layout together.
Bring photos of your backyard and the back of your home, a plat of survey if you have one, any HOA guidelines and pictures of decks or porches you love. Rough measurements help too, but we'll take exact ones at your home.
Yes. We'll walk through ballpark pricing for the materials and features you like so you can plan your budget. Your final proposal comes after we measure and design on site.
You can compare TimberTech and AZEK composite and PVC decking, Deckorators Voyage, and EvaLast side by side, along with glass, cable, aluminum and composite railing and Tru-Scapes lighting.
Yes. Grills, outdoor kitchen components, fire tables, heaters, outdoor TVs and furniture are available through All Things Backyard & Outdoor Living, right in the same showroom.
Our own in-house crews do all of the building. The team that helps you plan is the same company that builds it, from the framing to the final walkthrough. For specialty trades like electrical, plumbing, excavation and concrete, we work with trusted partners we've built long-standing relationships with.
We design and build decks, porches and outdoor living spaces throughout Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin, including McHenry, Lake, Kane and northwest Cook counties.
Your designer and our full showroom are ready when you are.
