"Smoothly. They rebuilt the stair supports and were able to reuse the decking boards so that it would remain matched to the rest of the porch and decking. They warned me that they could not guarantee the reuse of the boards until the stairs were demolished and I appreciated the care they took removing the boards. Felt that I was given an accurate assessment of the extent of the job and they completed it in excellent time."

"We hired Berith Builders in December 2020 to build a large garage addition (with living space above) onto our home. We had previously worked with a different company on remodeling our home and had a bad experience... so much so that we hesitated to do more work. Our experience with Berith was wonderful! Deane was great at communicating and keeping us informed. His estimates were on target, and the quality of work was excellent. We had a specific vision for the work, and Deane and his team were partners with us to make that vision a reality. It went so well that we had them back to remodel the dated lower level of our home. Again, the work was done so professionally, on time, and on budget. If there were any changes in the cost estimate, Deane took the time to explain them and talk through things with us first. Our house is now almost completely renovated and is exactly how we wanted it... and we had a positive experience throughout! We have one more room to do to finish our project, and we absolutely will be using Berith Builders again. I have also recommended Berith to my neighbors and will gladly recommend them to anyone who asks."

"Erik called in response to my posting within an hour. After explaining my problem with a circuit breaker, he suggested that I follow certain steps which quickly resolved the issue without his coming to my home and saved me the expense of labor and parts. I am very impressed with his willingness to serve and his integrity!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Bel Alton, MD

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.
