We(a group of students from MMW) visited Andy in his fantastic museum/working restoration shop, and WOW! Amazing place! We were so appreciative of the opportunity to see those amazing examples of Fire Aparatus from long ago. Not just fire engines, but heavy equipment and motorcycles and bits of aircraft.

Expert Deck Installation in Downers Grove, IL
Fire Nights Restorations handles deck installation for Downers Grove homeowners who want a safe, code-compliant outdoor space that holds up year after year. We assess your yard, design a layout that fits your home, and build from the ground up. Every deck we install starts with footings set below the DuPage County frost depth of 42 inches. That depth protects your structure from the freeze-thaw cycles that push shallow footings out of the ground over time. We frame each deck to carry the load Illinois winters demand, attach ledger boards with approved fasteners, and install guardrails on any deck surface over 30 inches above grade. Downers Grove homes range from older lots with narrow yards to newer builds with open backyards. We plan around your specific property so the finished deck fits the space without eating up your yard. When you are ready to move forward, call Fire Nights Restorations for a site visit and a straight-forward estimate.
