Dreaming of coming home to a grand deck, comfortable porch, or relaxing patio? No one in Chicago and the surrounding area builds better or more beautiful decks, patios, porches, and balconies than Chicago Porch Experts by Emtrak Construction.

We’ve Been Chicago’s Premier Builders Since 2000

That’s right—we are going on our third decade right here in Chicago and the surrounding area. Our mission is simple: We love our work—and we want you to love it too!

Why Chicago Porch Experts Is the Smart Choice

Some people may tell you, “You can build it yourself.” And perhaps you can. However, most people are not aware of the permitting and approval process in the city of Chicago and the surrounding towns. Most deck and porch projects are subject to a permitting process just like building any other addition to your home. This means you need detailed architectural drawings, and you’ll need to fill out the permit requests and submit them to the right office. We know and understand every step of the process—this is what we do every day!

The professionals at Chicago Porch Experts also understand the building codes and regulations for Chicago and the surrounding area. These codes and regulations are not meant to be hurdles—they are in place for your safety and comfort. Anything less than using the most experienced builders puts your family at risk. We use only top-quality materials and hardware, and we build it right. We want you to enjoy your new relaxing retreat for many, many years to come!

Your New Outdoor Space Adds Value to Your Home

Not only will you enjoy and relax in your new outdoor area, but it will also add considerable value to your home. The housing market has been a little crazy the last few years, fluctuating between a buyer’s and a seller’s market. But the addition of an outdoor retreat to your home will help increase the value, and make your home more attractive to buyers if you ever decide to sell. In fact, many realtors have told us that, here in the Chicago area, a new outdoor space helps increase the selling price by more than the cost of that addition!
