PVC decks are synthetic decking boards made from polyvinyl chloride composite material that provide the aesthetics of wood without the maintenance requirements. PVC decking holds up way better than wood in tough weather—it doesn’t crack, warp, or rot, even through freezing winters and hot summers.
At Midwest Legacy Fence & Deck, we install premium PVC decks throughout the western suburbs of Chicagoland with lifetime material warranties. As expert deck contractors with over 20 years of experience, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners with their home improvement projects. No more annual staining, splinter worries, or board replacements after harsh winters. Now’s the time to upgrade to maintenance-free PVC decking.
Since 2003, we’ve completed over 500 deck installations across Chicagoland’s western suburbs, tackling everything from basement walkout decks to rooftop renovations and multi-level entertainment spaces. Our deep understanding of local soil conditions, architectural styles, and building codes helps us anticipate challenges—like drainage near the Fox River, fireplace integrations, or bathroom deck access—that others often miss. Whether it’s a historic home near Stolp Island or new construction in Fox Valley, we deliver dependable craftsmanship built to last.
We use only top-tier PVC decking brands that offer transferable lifetime warranties covering water damage, fading, and structural failure—unlike many contractors who rely on lower-grade composites. If something goes wrong with the materials or the build, we’ll fix it at no cost. We don’t just talk about warranties—we stand behind them, protecting your investment with long-term peace of mind and sustainable, low-maintenance decking that’s built for decades of enjoyment.
Our process is rooted in transparency, education, and respect—we listen carefully, explain your options clearly, and offer honest pricing without pressure or gimmicks. You’re encouraged to compare our proposal with others, because we know the value we deliver. After installation, we’re still here for you—whether it’s PVC deck care questions, warranty support, or future upgrades like pergolas or sunroom connections. Many clients return to us for additional projects like fencing, patios, and landscape features.
We’ll examine your property, discuss your objectives, and explain how different fencing options will perform in your specific environment and usage scenarios.
Review our detailed proposal at your own pace, compare options, and feel confident that you’re making the right choice for your property and budget.
Our skilled craftsmen will install your fence with precision and care, ensuring every detail meets our high standards and your complete satisfaction.
For outdoor building materials, local climate presents a myriad of challenges which isn’t kind to wood decks. Between freezing winters, humid summers, and harsh sun, most wood starts cracking or warping in just a few years. That’s where PVC shines—it’s built to handle it all. However, PVC decking manages to go through extreme challenges due to being crafted for climate resilience and longevity.
Wood decking loses mold, mildew, and insect damage. Most importantly, it never requires staining or sealing. Why? Because while wood decking is sensitive to weather and needs constant maintenance, PVC decking can be enjoyed without any pressure washing or paint. Instead, weekends can actually be witnessed being enjoyed.
Although pressure-treated lumber is cheaper, PVC decking is a smarter long term investment because it does not require any ongoing maintenance costs. The routine deck servicing is priced anywhere between $800 to $1,500 annually.
Unlike wood decks, PVC does not require complex maintenance contracts – a simple soapy water rinse is sufficient. Your investment is protected thanks to durability and water damage resistance, while recovering costs become likely because the value of the home increases. This option is green as well, which significantly lowers the need for chemical stain treatments that can damage landscaping and lawn areas.
Not with our PVC materials. They’re designed to reflect more heat and absorb less than traditional wood or composite decking. Even on 90-degree afternoons, they stay cooler to the touch—so you won’t burn your feet stepping outside. That means it’s safe for barefoot walks, pet paws, outdoor cushions, and little ones playing on the deck. We also help you choose lighter-colored boards and shade-friendly layouts to keep your space even more comfortable.
Quality PVC composite materials are far cooler than traditional composite decking. Our PVC products preserve comfortable temperatures and heat resistance even on 90-degree days. Unlike most decking surfaces that reflect heat, ours does not absorb it, which enables barefoot comfort during walks throughout the summer months and makes it safe for children’s play areas.
As is the case with most PVC deck construction projects in , building permits are needed, particularly when the deck is attached to your house or elevated more than 30 inches. We take care of all permit applications and inspections as part of our deck installation services. Our established relationships with local building department often lead to quicker permit approval and smoother inspection processes for home improvement projects.

As a rule of thumb, no. Old wood framing does not align with modern standards in regards to new composite material installations. Additionally, the Fox Valley area’s soil and foundation settling in older structures is often problematic. For local building compliance, we usually suggest a full deconstruction and reconstruction in order to provide concrete footings, proper drainage, and meet all local building standards. This optimizes durability while maintaining warranty coverage, and protects your investment against water damage and structural concerns.
