"This was the first big project I have ever hired a contractor for and to be totally honest I had no idea what I was getting into. You hear all these horror stories about contractors but Goose was an exceptionally wonderful surprise. We started our journey by replacing the roof on my porch, which is again my oasis and no longer a small rainforest. Then we moved on to bigger and better things... like an entire basement overhaul. The entire process he kept me in the loop (very important for type A personalities like me), he was methodical in his planning and approach to the entire project, and he delivered a final product that exceeded what I had envisioned. I even threw him a few surprise curve balls and he hit every single one out of the park. I will be hiring him again in the future, as I already have several other projects in mind."

"Work completed was up to par, but the communication of the owner is poor. Money was demanded for uncompleted work. Due to a sad story being told, full payment was dispersed only to not hear from the owner. Text messages and phone calls were completely ignored. It was only when contacted by my lawyer from an unknown number there was a response. Dates and times were given for the job started to be completed and he has yet to fulfill his obligation. Not only was his lack of communication an issue, but once the job was discussed and terms and payment were agreed upon, more money was demanded, therefore outrageously changing the cost of the job that was thoroughly discussed. Way more materials were purchased than necessary for the jobs. Him and his workers did not always clean up after themselves., which lead to my tire being punctured. If you have a strong desire to work with a dishonest contractor lacking the ability to communicate as a business man I would highly recommend R&A. "

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Amsterdam, NY

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.
