"Highly recommend Zzeo's Home Restorations. Extremely satisfied with the project work. Has water leakage into the house above the living room double windows. At first thought that the source was a roof overhang above the window. Angel gave an estimate for the work assuming it was the source. However, he warned that source could be from cracks in to mortar of the rock façade and would not know until some of the interior dry wall above the window and the roofing on the overhang was removed. Unfortunately the overhang was not the source of water intrusion. Thus had to remove the rock façade to find the source. Anel gave me a revised estimate for the work needed. So the damaged exterior wood was replace and interior drywall section replaced. The outside section where the rocks were removed was properly waterproofed. Instead of rock had this section replace with bricks. Also since the second floor window just above the leak and the double living room room window were in need of repair or replacement, had these windows replaced. Angel kept us informed as work progressed. His crew were very respectful and knowledgeable. The project results were extremely satisfying. As the project was being completed, my neighbors were very much impressed with workmanship and beauty of the work. Again highly recommend Zzeo's Home Restorations. I anticipate that I will use them for future projects."

"Greetings everyone. Sometimes all it takes is a response for your work needed request, with that being said Veterans Construction was not only the quickest to respond they were the only one to respond! Guess my 12x16 deck in Composite material wasn't a big enough job for any others? After first call from Veterans Construction which was shortly after my request was made. Mike came out the next morning like he said he would; to go over the ideas I had for my deck. He put together some plans and drew them up and had them along with plans and pictures e-mailed to me in the time frame he gave me. Well, we agreed on price, plans and time frames. After sleeping on it for a night I called Mike the next morning with some hesitation due to wanting to change my plans on deck design some. Mike was awesome on the phone he told me not to worry it's not a problem and he could make the changes I requested with no problems, time frame or money. CHOOSE VETERANS! Mike, Daniel, crew awesome. THANKS! "

"Most anyone who has ever used a contractor has a tale of woe or wild story to share. Here⠠s my unusual experience: My wife and I hired Alterio Construction to strip/refinish three levels of hardwood floors and stairs while replacing all the ballusters and posts. Robert (and his team) showed up on time for the first meeting and every time thereafter⠦⠦.and the job was completed on schedule⠦⠦and the price was competitive⠦⠦and the workers were professional and pleasant⠦⠦and the job was beautifully done, exceeding our expectations⠦⠦.and Robert actually came back to execute some (minor) touch-ups on his own volition. Now, in our experience, taken all together, this is highly unusual. We highly recommend Robert and Alterio."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Absecon, NJ

To maximize your budget, compare quotes of several builders that fit within your specifications. Don’t be afraid to draw a wider geographic circle if the contractor is willing to travel without charging more. But affordability only matters if you get a quality deck out of it.

Cutting corners or simply finding the cheapest pro could result in significant problems. The materials used may be cheap and rot quickly. The support the surface provides might be unstable and dangerous. Always consider the long-term costs and benefits of quality work. Paying less upfront may actually be more expensive if you consider the cost of repairs.

Deciding on which materials you should use depends entirely on the type of deck you’re looking for. Composite works well for a simple surface exposed to harsh elements, while concrete is the standard choice for many patios. Your decking material options can range from wood to aluminum. Learn about the pros and cons of these materials to make the right decision.

You can build a deck during any season, which is why choosing the right time for this project depends on your preferences:

  • Spring: get your deck ready in time for landscaping and to enjoy it throughout the warmer seasons.

  • Summer: use spring for the planning process, then get the project ready before it gets cold out.

  • Fall: Limit turf or landscape damage by building once most plants begin to recede.

  • Winter: make the excavation process easier, thanks to cold and firm ground.

Many deck builders prefer winter, which is also the season with the shortest waiting queues. Still, other seasons are far from impossible for this type of project.

Expect a thorough examination of the space, and the development of a project schedule. Delivery of materials might already have occurred or could be planned at this point.

Additional research about working with deck builders can help you understand what to expect from experts, and what they expect from you.

Make sure the site of the deck or patio is clear of any landscaping and debris. The contractor will also call a utilities locator service to mark power, water, cable, and other services around the area where they will be digging. The cleaner the area your builder has to work with, the more quickly they can get started. Make sure they have space to park any construction vehicles. Find a dry space for materials that might need storage during the install. Finally, ensure clear access to the site through your house or property.

When it comes to the DIY vs. hire a pro decision for your deck, the answer tends to be clear. Only take it on yourself if you have significant expertise and experience. Without either, you risk building a faulty exterior space, leading to injury risks. Projects built without necessary expertise also break more quickly, making them more expensive in the long run.

If you do want to take on decking as a DIY project, be sure to do your research. Learn about installing the posts and footing for your framing. Understand how to lay decking boards and build the railings and stairs you need for access and security.
