"We hired Brian to complete a full deck tear out and rebuild. He was responsive, budget-minded, and completed our project in a timely manner. Brian is hardworking, very honest and knowledgeable in his profession. He and his assistant built an amazing, high-quality deck. They were fast, considerate of our property, and their attention to fine details and willingness to meet our desired results were so good. They also left job site ( our backyard) very clean during work and after completion."

"Our large deck was sorely neglected - no maintenance in at least 8 years - and I worried it was beyond help or would be cost-prohibitive to rehabilitate. Rupert and Michael breathed new life into it! Rupert (company principle) is very responsive, and he was able to give a quick informal estimate based on some photos and I texted. This made it very easy to start working together right away. Now the deck looks beautiful, and they were able to stain our wooden deck furniture to match. Great makeover for our deck and lovely folks to work with!"

"I observed the outstanding job New generation did on my neighbors house in Menlo Park (exterior) we contacted several Companies and selected NG. Ivan and his crew did a Fantastic job in every detail. We had the entire interior of our house painted and a room completely retiled and expanded. The job was completed several days early because they work long hours. The work was done and at the end of the day everything was clean or well covered for the next day. Will be calling them again for sure."

"I am writing this review on behalf of Javier Flores I engaged Javier Flores to build a deck in my back yard. I could not be happier with the job he did. Javier and his brother Daniel arrived promptly at 8:00 a.m. each day and worked hard all day, with the exception of lunch. The two of them work together very well. When they finished the deck, I told them that I would sweep off the saw dust, but Javier wouldn’t let me sweep the deck, He told me I am paying him to perform that duty. Javier and Daniel are experienced hardworking men who value precision, and pay attention to the littlest of details. Our new deck is as stiff as concrete, no sags, no squeaks at all. I am so happy with the deck, that I am going to have them install the deck railing also. I would gladly recommend Javier to anyone that needs a deck. Henry & Mary Anne Price"

"7. Our insurance company recently sent us a notice saying the roof needed to be replaced or they wouldn?t renew the policy. Max from Imperia Roofing came out to inspect it and confirmed the roof had definitely reached the end of its life. He explained the replacement process clearly and helped us move quickly so we could satisfy the insurance requirement. The crew did a great job and the new roof looks fantastic."

"We hired Trimble Construction and Custom Painting for many projects. The first job was the kitchen renovation which was done exactly as we wanted. We have since had them take care of the horrible ceiling cracks in our living room and vestibule and paint both rooms. They also installed handrails on the staircase to the upper level. In the backyard they replaced the deck and a 80ft long wooden walkway. All the work has been completed within the agreed costs and are a pleasure to look at. The finished improvements and workmanship make our house more comfortable and welcoming. "

"Number one in communications and top attention in details. We worked with Geico Builders to build our addition, ADU and install pavers on the front of the house. Overall the process took us almost one year they were delays from the city of Oakland on approval plans despite that Victor went above and beyond and smooth all process once they got to actual building. He work hard to make progress easy on our addition especially with tough Inspectors. The quality of our new ADU well-built, and the bathroom has a great tile work with precise attention to details. Their price was not the cheapest one but for the amount of time and quality of work it’s very well deserved, we feel like we got good value for the money we paid. We do recommend Geico Builders and especially Victor to all who is looking for quality work."

"I had been needing to replace the flooring in my home for quite some time now but I did not know whom to hire to do it or how much it was going to cost me. One day, a friend referred me to Bayside Builders and I decided to call them for an estimate. They were very professional and the most affordable of all the companies that came by my house to look at my floors. I was so impressed with their service from the start because they have a lot of experience in this field which shows right away when you meet them. I also liked how they told me what type of floors they would be installing for me along with giving me a quote on what it will cost to do so. Everything went according to plan as scheduled and I was happy with their work!"

"Landscape Solutions did a great job and I would have them back again if I ever need additional work. They installed concrete and drainage in our backyard and walkway. This was a pretty extensive project that was done well. Not only are Scott and Norka (management) personable and honest, their workers are very pleasant and are happy to answer questions."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Atherton, CA

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.
