What Peoria neighbors say.
These are verified customer reviews of Tazewell County Fence Co. — the same owners, crew and phone line behind Grizzly Deck & Rail.
“They removed our old wood fence, cleaned up the debris, and installed the new fence without leaving a mess behind. The whole process was straightforward, and we always knew what the next step would be. I would definitely recommend them.”
“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.”
“We had a chain-link fence installed for our backyard and dogs. Communication was easy, the pricing was reasonable, and the finished fence looks great. They also made sure the gates opened smoothly and were placed exactly where we needed them.”
Deck questions from Peoria homeowners
Local pricing, permit rules and build times for Peoria, IL.
- How much does a deck cost in Peoria, IL?
- In Peoria, 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 Peoria?
- The City of Peoria requires a building permit and plan review for residential decks, with footing and framing inspections on attached builds.
- What kind of ground will you be building on in Peoria?
- Everything from flat North Peoria subdivisions to steep bluff yards in the older neighborhoods where a deck spans a hillside. Loess over clay on the bluffs — stable once you're deep, but the top few feet can be loose fill on older 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 Peoria 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 Peoria, IL?
- Yes, with our own crew. Grizzly Deck & Rail is the outdoor-living side of Tazewell County Fence Co., based in Morton, IL. 20 minutes across the river. 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 Peoria?
- 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.
