“From the first estimate through the final walkthrough, communication was excellent. Questions were answered quickly, pricing was explained clearly, and there were no surprises. It was refreshing to work with a local company that was responsive and easy to reach.”
“Tazewell County Fence Co. installed woven wire fencing around part of our property, along with a large equipment gate. They explained the different post options, gave us a clear estimate, and helped us choose something that fit our budget. The fence looks strong and everything was completed professionally.”

Deck questions from Metamora homeowners
Local pricing, permit rules and build times for Metamora, IL.
- How much does a deck cost in Metamora, IL?
- In Metamora, pressure-treated decks generally run $24–$34 per square foot installed, cedar $32–$44, and capped composite $38–$62. A 16x20 composite deck with a stair run typically lands between $13,000 and $20,000. Height, stairs, and railing style move the number far more than the decking brand does.
- Do I need a permit to build a deck in Metamora?
- Metamora issues village deck permits, and Woodford County handles the surrounding rural parcels.
- What kind of ground will you be building on in Metamora?
- Rolling timbered lots with real elevation change and a lot of tree cover to work around. Rooty topsoil over firm clay; hand-clearing around roots is normal on wooded lots. Footings go below the 42-inch frost line on every build so nothing heaves through a Central Illinois winter.
- How long does a deck take to build?
- Most Metamora residential decks are framed and finished in three to six working days once footings have cured. Multi-level builds, roofed sections, and stair-heavy layouts run longer. We give you a start date and a finish date in writing.
- Do you actually serve Metamora, IL?
- Yes, with our own crew. Grizzly Deck & Rail is the outdoor-living side of Tazewell County Fence Co., based in Morton, IL. About 25 minutes northeast. We don't broker jobs to subs, and the same people who quote your deck are the ones who build it.
- Can I see the deck before you build it?
- You can design it yourself. Our 3D deck designer lets you lay out the footprint in a top-down view, then walk around the finished deck in 3D with your actual material and railing choices before anybody pours a footing. Bring the design to us and we'll quote that exact deck.
- Do you also build fences in Metamora?
- We do — that's where we started. Tazewell County Fence Co. installs wood privacy, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, and farm fence across the same service area, and it's common for us to handle the deck and the fence on one visit.
