"They replaced the existing driveway at my house as well as belgium blocks. He returns calls quickly and stays involved with his employees when he is at another location. He always drove by to make sure the work was done correctly. His prices are reasonable."

"MC General Construction were absolute professionals. Mandi Cocka, the owner of the company is fantastic. The team did exactly what they said they would do and cleaned up the site each evening upon completion of their work that day. Mandi and his crew were a pleasure to have work on our project which was a very detailed and difficult job. I am a detail person so i expect expert and quality work and that is exactly what we received. I would not hesitate to hire MC General Construction in the future. I highly recommend Mandi for your future projects. "

"I had a deck rebuild/expansion and a new patio installed. The work Amaya did was immaculately done. Nick and his teams were extremely nice, professional, accommodating, knowledgeable and clean!! Anything, I mean anything that I asked of them was completed to perfection, and honestly I’m not very easy to please when it comes to this work since I do most renovations and home improvements myself. I recommend them wholeheartedly!!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Belleville, 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.
