"My yard was in desperate need of mowing. I contacted Noah and he returned my call immediately. He arrived that evening and had to cut twice to make the yard nice looking. Very polite and well mannered. I hired him for the rest of the season. Pricing was very reasonable. I would recommend Noah to everyone."

"The motto on their shirt says it all ?Perfect is OK?. Far and away THE most professional contractor we have ever had. Responsive, on time, on budget, polite and courteous. They work clean and stay until the job is done correctly. The pool deck is beautiful - can not wait to use it next season. We also had him replace four 14 foot columns on the front porch - they look better than the originals and are much better built. He is returning in the spring to replace the railing on our existing 2nd floor deck to match the pool railing. He is now our go to for all jobs he is able to handle for us. If you want quality work, call T & J."

"Our backyard was a mess when we moved in. The previous contractor our landlord originally hired kept not showing up to finish the job. We eventually hired Mishan. We had a custom deck built in the lower portion of our property. We are now able to enjoy the beautiful view and our backyard! Communication was great, and very reliable. "

"Vinnie did a great job of prepping and re-staining my deck. He even advised me about another repair needed on the patio below. Vinnie has performed work at my place before, and he is always helpful, thorough, and professional. Over several years, I have had several jobs done by Mr. Handyman personnel. I have always been happy with their work. I have also found the office personnel - Michelle, Jeannie, and Kay - to be very helpful."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Allentown, PA

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.
