My wife and I just bought a townhouse in Chicago in October, and are planning to re-build the roof deck this spring. We currently have the 10x10 deck(pics here) the builders of the development included when new in 2001. At this point, most units have replaced them with much larger decks.
We want to build out to the extent we can, which would go to the front wall (wrapping around A/C unit), between stairway hut and the front wall, to just before the wall between our roof and neighbor's (where the tallest vents are in photo), and back to the black fire escape stairs. I believe the total dimension would be something along the lines of 15x25.
I'd like to consider doing this myself, but not sure how complicated it is to do and what to consider when building a deck on the roof -- don't want to risk damaging the roof material. I am open to both traditional construction and the deck tiles.
Any advice? How much might I save by doing myself? And is it worth doing myself, or just suck it up and go with a pro?
