Chris Warner

Chicagoland’s Original Custom Deck Specialist Warner’s Decking, Inc. is a specialized outdoor construction company founded by Chris Warner in 1988. For nearly 40 years, Warner’s has focused exclusively on custom deck construction, with a particular emphasis on high-performance composite decking systems. Serving homeowners throughout Naperville, Plainfield, and the greater Chicagoland area, Chris and his team have completed more than 7,000 custom deck projects. Today, Warner’s combines decades of deck-building expertise with modern materials and construction methods, specializing in composite decking supported by steel or traditional lumber framing. From design and structural framing through final installation, Warner’s focuses on building outdoor spaces that are durable, low-maintenance, and built to perform for years to come. The Origin: Specialization Over Generalization In 1988, Chris Warner recognized an opportunity to approach deck construction differently. Rather than treating decks as an add-on to a general contracting project, he believed they deserved the same level of specialized knowledge and attention as any other major structure. Chris founded Warner’s Decking with a simple goal: make custom deck construction a specialty of its own. During the company’s first decade, the team focused on mastering the structural challenges of building decks in the Illinois climate, using premium wood materials and developing a deep understanding of deck construction. As composite decking emerged, Chris was an early adopter of Trex, recognizing the material’s potential for exceptional longevity and reduced maintenance compared with traditional wood. That early investment in composite technology helped shape Warner’s Decking into the composite-focused specialist it is today. In 2001, Warner’s became a certified TrexPRO® contractor, beginning a partnership with Trex that has now spanned more than 25 years. Collaboration & Recognition For more than two decades, Warner’s Decking has remained closely involved with the Trex ecosystem. Chris has provided valuable field-level feedback on product performance and installation techniques, helping advance composite decking products and installation practices. That long-standing commitment to quality and craftsmanship ultimately earned Warner’s Decking TrexPRO® Platinum status, Trex’s highest level of recognition for independent contractors. The Warner’s Philosophy: No Shortcuts Warner’s Decking believes quality starts with controlling the work. Unlike companies that rely heavily on subcontractors, Warner’s maintains a 100% in-house installation team. This allows the company to oversee every phase of the project and maintain consistent standards from structural framing through final installation. Warner’s stands behind that commitment with a Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty, giving homeowners confidence that their investment is backed by nearly 40 years of local experience.
