Questions and Answers
Can JLV Builders design and build a rooftop deck in Chicago?
Absolutely. We specialize in creating rooftop decks that are both beautiful and structurally sound for Chicago homes. Our process starts with a custom design that maximizes your view and space, followed by expert construction using synthetic decking and weather-resistant materials built to withstand our local climate. We ensure proper waterproofing and drainage are integral to the build, creating a durable foundation for your outdoor kitchen, pergola, or lounge area.
My lawn in Chicago has poor drainage and moss growth. Can you help?
Yes, these are common issues we address. Poor lawn grading leads to standing water and moss. Our earthmoving and regrading services correct the slope to direct water away from your home's foundation. We then address the moss and can rejuvenate or replace the lawn with appropriate grass varieties and soil amendments. For a complete solution, we can integrate new irrigation and drainage systems during our landscape construction to promote a healthier, drier lawn.
Do you handle both the design and construction of outdoor projects?
We do. JLV Builders offers full-service design and construction, which we find leads to smoother projects and better results. Our design services cover everything from deck layouts and landscape plans to irrigation systems and outdoor kitchens. We then execute the construction ourselves, ensuring the finished project matches the vision. This integrated approach allows us to manage all details, from material selection for durability in Chicago weather to the final installation of features like retaining walls or stone walkways.
