Schererville Decks Built to a Higher Standard
Schererville is one of the most sought-after communities in Northwest Indiana, and for good reason. Strong neighborhoods, easy access to Route 30 and I-65, and the kind of well-maintained homes where outdoor living space actually gets used. Deck Geekz builds custom wood, composite, and PVC decks for Schererville homeowners who expect quality workmanship.
We include 12-inch on-center framing and picture-frame borders on every single deck. Not as premium add-ons. Not as line items buried in a quote. They are how we build. Every job. Every time.
Outdoor Living in Schererville
Schererville is a town where people take care of their properties. Drive through the neighborhoods near Rohrman Park, the homes along Joliet Street, or the newer developments south of US 30, and you will see it. Clean yards, well-kept landscaping, and outdoor spaces that people clearly use.
The town has grown steadily because it offers suburban comfort without the Chicago price tag. Families here grill out on weeknights, host weekend get-togethers, and let their kids run around the backyard until the streetlights come on. A custom deck turns that backyard into a space worth coming home to.
Schererville's flat terrain and typical lot sizes give us solid options for deck layouts. Whether you want a simple platform off the sliding door or a wraparound with multiple levels, the properties here tend to work well for deck construction.
Material Options for Your Schererville Deck
We are not a one-material shop. We build with all three major decking types because each one solves a different problem.
Pressure-treated wood remains the go-to for budget-conscious homeowners who want a natural look. It needs staining and sealing on a regular schedule, but the upfront savings are real and the material has been a proven performer in the Midwest for decades.
Composite decking from Trex, TimberTech, or Fiberon removes the maintenance burden entirely. No staining. No sealing. No replacing warped or split boards every few years. The upfront cost is higher, but most Schererville homeowners who go composite tell us they wish they had done it sooner.
PVC decking is built for maximum moisture resistance. It contains no organic material, which means it will not absorb water under any conditions. Hot tub surrounds, pool decks, and ground-level builds where standing water is a concern are all ideal applications for PVC.
What Makes Our Builds Different
Most deck contractors in the area frame at 16 inches on center because that is the minimum code allows. We frame at 12 inches on center on every build. The difference is noticeable the first time you walk on the deck. Less flex. Less bounce. A more solid feel underfoot that tells you the structure was built right.
Our picture-frame borders wrap the entire deck perimeter with a clean, finished edge. It is a detail that takes extra time and material, which is why most builders skip it or charge extra. We believe it belongs on every deck we put our name on.
From the initial free estimate through construction and final walkthrough, we manage the entire project. Permits, design, material sourcing, and build. Browse our project gallery to see what a Deck Geekz build looks like when it is finished.

Deck Building FAQs in Schererville
Some Schererville neighborhoods do have HOA guidelines covering deck size, height, materials, or color choices. We recommend checking with your HOA before the design phase. If there are restrictions, we work within them and can help you choose materials and colors that satisfy both your preferences and the HOA requirements.
Yes. We can build over an existing concrete patio in many cases, or remove it and start fresh depending on the condition and your goals. Building over concrete with a sleeper system or low-profile framing is a common approach that saves on demo costs while giving you a much better outdoor surface.
Every Deck Geekz build uses pressure-treated lumber for the structural frame, which is rated for ground contact and moisture exposure. We also follow best practices for flashing at the ledger board connection and ensure proper ventilation underneath the deck surface. These details prevent the kind of hidden rot that shortens a deck's life.
We offer wood, composite, aluminum, and cable railing systems. Each has a different look and price point. Aluminum and cable railings give you a more open sightline to your yard, while composite railings match the decking for a unified appearance. We bring samples and go over options during your estimate.
Most Schererville deck builds take one to two weeks depending on size and complexity. We keep the work area as organized as possible and do a full cleanup when the project wraps. We know your neighbors are close by, so we respect the property and keep disruption to a minimum.
