"Herb was the first person in my house, other than me, since March. He wore a mask and was very courteous about the fact that I am "elderly and compromised" and worried about Covid 19. He did everything quickly and found ways to fix things that were less invasive and therefore less expensive than I expected. I was pleased with his communication and punctuality and it seems everything was done well."

"Tom called within a few hours of us signing up for this site. He was here the next day to give a quote. Due to the uniqueness of our request for door placements and sizes, the job took longer than planned, so he came back another day to finish. Very satisfied with his work, and our son is now safe and doesn't have access to areas of the house which were previously unsafe for him. Kitchen/bath remodels are next and we will, without hesitation, call Harrop & Son."

"I recently had my shingle roof replaced and I?m very happy with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the work is excellent, and the new roof looks great. They kept the work area clean and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."

"I have now had 4 pickups from this company. Each time it has been with different items: I have had my kitchen remodeled,  a deck torn down and rebuilt, a new roof put on, old fencing disc arded, and a yard cleanup. The only difference in pricing was for the roofing and even though ti was more money it was STILL CHEAPER than a dumpster!!! I don't know how these guys do it, but they pickup on time, without issue andfor the cost quoted. I have turned each of my contractors onto them - now they are using them. SO MUCH cheaper and better service than any dumpster company I have used!"

"Very professional organization, the crew that Services Plus assigned to our project did it all - carpentry, shingle siding replacement where needed, sealing all seams and joints, scraping off all loose or damaged paint, and then painting the entire house, both airless spray (2 coats) and brush where needed, such as on doors and trim. Their attention to detail was very impressive, not just for the actual work but also for the daily cleanup and keeping the worksite policed and orderly. When they left for the day, you would not know that there was a major painting project underway. The house also had a new roof and windows put in before the carpentry and painting work, and the crew and site manager conferred with the roof contractor as to how best to protect the metal shingle roof from both damage and overspray. The new roof was a pristine after the job was completed as it was before they began the work. Services Plus also coordinated their work with Andersen to begin immediately after the windows were installed - the timing was perfect so that no trade interfered with the other. One last thing that must be mentioned - the contracts written for the carpentry work and painting (separate contracts) were very detailed as to the scope of the work and Services Plus’s responsibilities, and there were no surprises whatsoever when it came time to do the final inspection and write the checks. Again, very professionally done. Bottom line is that while we've had the house painted several times in the 26 years we've lived here, this has been the most impressive of all the painting contractors we've had to bring on board."

"They were excellent and worked hard....the second day was cut short by a thunder storm so there were some loose ends and I would have preferred if they had come back to REALLY finish things off as agreed. But overall they were excellent to deal with and I would recommend them and hire them again."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Block Island, RI

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.
