Local Expertise
Decks On St. Clair County Lots
The lots here shape the deck more than the house does. In Belleville and the older towns they are deep and narrow with an alley behind, so everything comes in past the house or in through the back gate. Out toward Shiloh and Mascoutah the yards open up and the question becomes what to do with the space rather than how to fit into it.
The deck that is there now is usually past its point. Boards that give underfoot, a rail with movement in it, and a footprint set by where the door landed rather than by how you use the yard. We rebuild from the footings, which is the only honest way to warrant what goes on top.
The Product
Choosing Between Composite And Lumber
Both materials build a good deck. The right answer depends on how much upkeep you want to sign up for and how long you plan to be in the house.
- Deckorators composite: capped, fade and stain resistant, effectively no maintenance
- Pressure-treated lumber: traditional look, lower initial cost, periodic sealing
- Matching rail systems, lighting and stair details either way
St. Clair County Specifics
Why These Deck Features Matter In St. Clair County
Digging next to an old foundation
On the older city lots the house sits on stone or rubble, and footings near it have to be placed carefully rather than driven in where it is convenient. We work that out on site before we quote a number.
Alleys, gates and where the material sits
A deep lot with alley access is a gift if it is planned and a problem if it is not. We decide up front where the delivery lands, where the cut station goes and how the debris leaves, because there is rarely room to change your mind.
Building for how long you will be here
If you are two years from a transfer, the right deck is not the same as the one for a family staying twenty. We will lay out both, with the honest difference in cost and in what you get back.

Testimonials
What Homeowners Say
My experience with Shinnova was great. I want to thank Jeremy Sweatman for convencing me to get it done. My house looks new again and it is much warmer inside. The workers were very professional. They cleaned up after themselves every night before they left. Thank you very much.
We are extremely impressed with the professionalism of everyone we worked with Jeremy the bomb in explaining sale of windows and the process, Butch for guiding the installation and Dan for all the follow up on progress with delivery. Would recommend hands down we are actually on our second order. The Murphys

Questions
St. Clair County Decks FAQ
How long does a deck build take?
Most residential decks take one to two weeks depending on size, height and rail system. Footings and inspections set the schedule more than the carpentry does.
Is composite worth the extra cost over lumber?
If you plan to stay more than a few years, usually yes: you stop paying for sealing and board replacement. If the budget is tight or the deck is small, treated lumber built well is still a good deck.
Does a deck need a permit and inspection in St. Clair County?
Yes. Decks are permitted and inspected, footings included, through your municipality or through St. Clair County for unincorporated addresses. We prepare the drawings, file them and schedule both inspections.
Can you match a deck to what the neighborhood expects?
We can build to whatever your subdivision or town requires, and on the older streets the useful reference is the house itself rather than anything next door. Proportion, rail style and material all come off your house.
