"Adrian and Zeke did such an awesome job on our deck! ? They?re super friendly, easy to work with, and really pay attention to every little detail. You can tell they take a lot of pride in their work. The deck came out perfect! If you?re looking to hire a family-owned company that actually cares about quality and doesn?t charge you an arm and a leg like some of the big guys, these are your people. Couldn?t recommend them enough! ?"

"Rafael was great. He came out the next day and measured the fence distance and gave a quote on the spot. I tried to get quotes from other businesses, but they either dragged their feet on a quote or required a large up front deposit (RT Total Lawn Care only required payment upon completion). The fence looks great and is exactly what we wanted. My wife and I couldn't be any happier!"

"We are 100% satisfied with our deck. We greatly appreciate the professionalism of Ron in leading the construction effort. He overcame challenges, like the need to reinforce the concrete under the patio that would be attached to the deck. The structural integrity is far better than our prior deck and we are very happy about the way the new deck is attached to our house because it is much stronger and more visually appealing than the last deck. The overall appearance of the deck exceeded our expectations. We are very happy with the attention to detail. We asked for some special features and they were executed beautifully. We are very happy with our beautiful deck, thank you!"

"Leo and helper rebuilt outdoor stairs and did a very nice job. He was quick and professional from first contact to job completion. But, he underestimated wood needed for replacement of deck boards and he didn’t bid the cleanup/disposal of removed wood so the quote was short by $300. I would recommend Leo just be sure the quote includes everything you want done."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Bellingham, WA

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.
