One local decking company is doing more than just building outdoor spaces. They are creating places for connection, reflection, and enjoyment. DaleTree Decking was founded by Tim Schoffelman in 2020 and stands on a legacy of family, faith, and the firm belief that backyards can become your home sanctuary.
Named after Tim’s father, Dale, who passed away in 2015, the company was born from one of their final conversations. “One of the last things he told me was, ‘You should start your own business,’” Tim recalls. “It took a few years and some big life changes to get there, but in 2020, I made the leap.”
The journey to decks wasn’t always straightforward either. With decades of hands-on experience and heartfelt memories of family gatherings on backyard decks, Tim found his purpose. “Our slogan is ‘Designed to Encourage’ That’s what we’re here for—elevating a space to encourage bringing people together,” Tim says. “We even pray over our customers and our work. It’s an honor.”
One thing DaleTree customers consistently appreciate is how the company’s work goes beyond the physical product. “We’re not just building decks—we’re building spaces where people can have birthday parties, family barbecues, or just relax after a long day,” Tim adds. “That’s why we do what we do.”
Choosing the Right Deck Material
Decking has quickly become one of the most sought-
after home improvements, and for good reason. “From a return-on-investment standpoint, decks have surpassed bathroom remodels,” notes Tim. “Here in the Midwest, our outdoor season isn’t year-round, but you can enjoy your deck for 9 to 10 months out of the year.”
When it comes to choosing the right material, DaleTree offers a variety of options, each with its own benefits and considerations.
Wood (Cedar or Pressure-Treated):
Still a popular and affordable option, wood decks bring a natural charm but require the most maintenance. “Brown pressure-treated wood is great for utility spaces—like a dog run or between a garage and house,” Tim explains. “It’s also ideal for customers on a tight budget, but it will need replacing sooner.”
Composite:
A strong middle ground between wood and PVC, composite decking offers a blend of affordability and longevity. “Composite is more reasonable than most people think—especially compared to cedar,” says Tim. “It holds up well, but can get hot to the touch in full sun.”
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride):
The rising star in deck materials, PVC is quickly becoming a favorite. “It’s especially good for high-humidity, wet, or full-sun conditions,” Tim explains. “It doesn’t get as hot as composite or wood, so it’s safer for pets and kids running around barefoot.”
Contrary to what many may picture when they hear “PVC,” these decks are far from white plumbing pipes. PVC comes in the same rich color palettes—grays, browns, you name it. Some even have a raised grain texture that feels like weathered wood,” Tim shares. “And if it scratches, you can use a heat gun or even a hair dryer to blend it out.”
PVC also tends to be less slippery when wet or icy, making it a great option for families with young children or those installing decks around pools or sprinklers. Most brands, like TimberTech’s Azek and Wolf PVC, offer generous warranties when installed by certified professionals like DaleTree. “We’re certified for both. Wolf even has a seven-year labor warranty that covers board replacement.”

Railing Options That Complete the Look
DaleTree Decking offers a variety of railing options to match any home’s aesthetic or safety needs:
• Aluminum Railings: Low-maintenance and sleek. A great match for modern decks.
• Custom Wood Railings: For homeowners who want something rustic and warm.
“Railing really sets the tone,” Tim adds. “We help customers choose what fits their lifestyle and the look of their home.”
Whether you’re dreaming of a cozy wooden landing or a high-performance PVC space that withstands the elements, DaleTree Decking offers the materials, expertise, and heart to bring your vision to life.
