Bartlett is one town that sits in three counties, and that's not just trivia. The village is mostly in Cook and DuPage, with a slice on the west side reaching into Kane. Where your home sits can change which rules apply to your deck. We've built here, so we know how to handle that.
For over 20 years, our family has built decks across the northwest suburbs from our base in Roselle. We run our own crews, we pull every permit, and we back the work with a written workmanship warranty. No subcontractors, and no surprises on your invoice.
Decks that fit Bartlett yards near Lake Street and Route 59
Most of Bartlett filled in during its big growth years, so a lot of homes sit on newer subdivision lots with open, usable back yards. We design around your home's height, your yard's grade, and how you actually want to use the space. A deck off a Route 59 two-story is a different build than one near older streets by the depot.
You're never boxed into one material with us. Want low upkeep? We install composite and Trex decking. Love the look of real wood? We build cedar and pressure-treated decks too. A lot of shops only pour out composite, which limits your look and your budget.
Built to handle Bartlett setbacks and side-yard rules
Bartlett has clear rules for decks, and we build to them from day one. A deck more than 18 inches off the ground can reach a set distance into your rear yard, but it has to stay back from the side property line. Get that wrong and an inspector can make you tear it out.
We measure your lot, check the side and rear setbacks for your district, and set footings below the local frost line so the deck doesn't heave in a hard Chicago-area winter. With multi-level and custom decks, that planning matters even more on a sloped or walk-out yard.
A Bartlett deck builder who answers the phone
We're close enough to be useful. Bartlett wraps around real amenities like Villa Olivia and the wider Bartlett Park District, and folks here want a back yard that earns its keep all season. We help you build the spot for cookouts, coffee, and quiet evenings.
Because our shop is a short drive away in Roselle, we answer the phone and get to your home fast. If a question comes up mid-project, we're minutes out, not an hour. Need a railing to finish it off? We add deck railings in metal, wood, or cable to match your home.
Bartlett deck permit requirements
These are Bartlett's own published requirements, not general advice. We pull the permit and handle the inspections as part of every job, but it is your deck and you should know what is actually being asked for.
Our deck permit guide explains how the process works across DuPage County and northwest Cook.
- Issued by
- Building Division, Planning & Development Services (630) 540-5920
- Permit required
- Yes, for all construction and home improvement projects including decks
- Roofed decks
- A deck with a roof attached to the house counts as an attached accessory building and must meet all required yard setbacks
- Counter hours
- Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Worth knowing before you design
- Bartlett publishes project specification sheets for residential permits, available online and at Village Hall. Ask for the deck sheet before you design.
- Because a roof changes the classification, adding cover to a deck later can trigger setbacks the open deck did not have to meet. Worth deciding up front.
Villages across DuPage County and northwest Cook generally set deck footing depth at 42 inches to clear the frost line. Where a village has not published its own figure we do not guess at it, we confirm the requirement with the building department before we dig.
If you are in an HOA
If your subdivision has a homeowners association, its architectural review is separate from the village permit and neither one substitutes for the other. Associations commonly have their own rules on deck size, color, railing style and screening, and approval can take longer than the permit does. Start that application at the same time, not after.
Source: Village of Bartlett Building Division , read August 2026. Codes and fees change. We confirm the current requirements with the village before we dig, and you should treat this as a starting point rather than the final word.

We first contacted Ryan back in April. But we decided to replace the concrete patio first, which was delayed a couple of times. Ryan was very patient with us as he was also delayed, finally completing the project the middle of July. We could not be happier the the quality craftsmanship that went into our deck. If you want your deck done right, you will go w…Read the full review

Ryan did an outstanding job transforming my entire outdoor space. The old deck was completely removed and replaced with new decking and railings that look modern, sturdy, and impeccably finished. The team was professional, communicated clearly throughout the project, and worked efficiently while paying close attention to every detail. They upgraded my deck…Read the full review

Deck questions from Bartlett homeowners
Bartlett is in three counties. Where do I get my deck permit?
You get it from the Village of Bartlett, not the county. The Building Division inside Planning and Development Services handles deck permits for the whole village, whether your home sits in Cook, DuPage, or Kane County. We file it for you, so you don't have to figure out which county line your lot falls on.
Do you build decks in Bartlett, IL?
Yes. We've built decks here in Bartlett, and we cover the surrounding towns too. Our base is in Roselle, a short drive east of Bartlett. Call us at (630) 523-8543 to set up a free estimate.
What are the deck rules in Bartlett?
Bartlett requires a permit for a new deck, and it sets limits on how far the deck can extend into your rear yard plus how close it can sit to a side property line. Decks over 18 inches high have stricter setbacks. We build to the village code and handle the plans and inspections so your deck passes the first time.
How much does a deck cost in Bartlett?
Most decks in Bartlett run $8,000 to $40,000 or more, depending on size, material, and features. Pressure-treated wood is the most affordable option. Composite costs more upfront with almost no upkeep. You can compare ranges in our northwest suburbs deck cost guide.
How long does it take to build a deck in Bartlett?
Most decks take 2 to 4 weeks to build once the Bartlett permit is approved, depending on size and weather. We give you a clear timeline at your free estimate, and we manage the permitting so the schedule stays on track.
