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. Inside the house, we also handle drywall repair, flooring installation, and handyman projects.

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.
Do you install Trex and TimberTech?
Yes. We're a TimberTech Gold Pro contractor and we install Trex too. We also build with PVC, pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and hardwood.
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.
