What Tremont neighbors say.
These are verified customer reviews of Tazewell County Fence Co. — the same owners, crew and phone line behind Grizzly Deck & Rail.
“We needed a long stretch of affordable fencing for our pasture. They helped us compare T-posts, wood posts, and different wire options before we made a decision. We appreciated that they focused on durability without pushing us toward the most expensive option.”
“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 Tremont homeowners
Local pricing, permit rules and build times for Tremont, IL.
- How much does a deck cost in Tremont, IL?
- In Tremont, 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 Tremont?
- Tremont handles deck permits at the village office; acreages outside the limits fall under Tazewell County building review.
- What kind of ground will you be building on in Tremont?
- Flat, open village lots and acreages on the edge of town where wind exposure matters more than grade. Prime black farm ground — easy digging, but soft enough that we bell the footings on taller posts. 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 Tremont 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 Tremont, IL?
- Yes, with our own crew. Grizzly Deck & Rail is the outdoor-living side of Tazewell County Fence Co., based in Morton, IL. About 15 minutes south of Morton. 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 Tremont?
- 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.
