We absolutely made the right choice hiring Rock Solid Builders. Josh was amazing. Due to COVID, after the first day Josh ended up working most days alone. He was incredible. They ripped out our old wooden deck and built a beautiful TREX deck. Every corner is mitered to look perfect. This is an outstanding outdoor feature of our home, we love it and would, without hesitation recommend them to anyone who's looking to enhance their home with a fantastic deck. Utmost Professionalism, workmanship and customer service. Thank you Rock Solid!

Rock Solid Builders is the best contractor I have ever hired. Their craftsmanship is remarkable, but even more remarkable is their commitment to customer service and ensuring the customer is taken care of and satisfied. They blew away my expectations of a contractor and have set the bar extremely high. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a beautiful deck to be built.

Overall a great experience working with Rock Solid Builders as they demo'd two old wooden decks and constructed a new TREX deck for my mom. Scheduling with RSB was a bit difficult as their work is heavily affected by Chicago's weather. If a homeowner is ready to have a deck built - I suggest start scheduling with RSB 8 to 10 months ahead of an expected completion date. The site team took a good 2 - 3 weeks to finish off the deck and there were several issues that occurred during the build.

All of the issues were eventually resolved, but I am a firm believer in that they could have been avoided if the right choices were made before a task was started. As a homeowner - it's good to be engaged and involved and question things that don't look right. Do not expect others (site team, village inspectors, etc.) to catch mistakes or question installations. I appreciate the time RSB took in building my mom's deck and she's happy and thrilled over the new deck. I do recommend RSB as a deck builder, but be prepared to double check their work for them.

Rock Solid reconstructed the front porch of our home. Very professional. Timely finished the job and the quality was top notch

Absolutely a amazing company. Everyone there is very professional and hard working. I love my deck! I get so many compliments.

Rock Solid Builders did a great job. They installed a new residential deck. Communication was great, their price was fair and their staff was experienced and skilled. They worked on the deck every work day until the job was complete. "Integrity" is a word that comes to mind when I think about Rock Solid and how they handled my deck project.
