"Estimate was done within a week of contact. Fair price with contract signed in reasonable time. Work was completed within a week of start time with a weather delay initially. All phone calls were answered or returned within an hour. The company is professional and approachable for questions. The crew that worked on my deck were polite and explained what they were doing. . I absolutely love my new deck and siding. Highly recommend."

"This contractor is awesome! Tell him what you would like built and he will build it. Pressure treated deck and cedar rails. We also wanted an area to cook under, so in addition to the 24x32 deck Doug made us a 12x12 area to cook under! The footers are unbelievable! He is a man after detail. Before leaving each day the site is picked up. There are No short cuts. The materials are all premium. Oh, forgot to mention- he loves concrete. Our deck and porch will never move!!! And we will be calling for more projects! Matter of fact: we are on the schedule for a new front porch this spring!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"Jeremy was awesome from start to finish. Our deck was damaged from the snow and ice in 2025. Jeremy and his guys worked with us on our budget and timeline to get the job done right. He had to tear down the old wood existing deck completely and built us a beautiful composite deck within our budget. When he finished it we thought it would be nice to rebuild the front steps and match it to the deck and Jeremy was more than willing to come back a day later in the week after he had already spent the day working on someone elses deck build and built the steps to the porch and added railings to match. I would recommend Jeremy to anyone looking to do work on an existing deck or a complete rebuild. I dont think you will find better service than what he provides"

"He was very professional in quoting the job, completing all items on the bid and then did a few other jobs I needed to have completed. He was personable, easy to work with and I will hire him again. Very impressed with how he operates. He is detail oriented and explains what and how he is solving the problems."

"BJ built a beautiful, durable deck. Him and his crew were very professional and the communication was top notch. This was definitely a tricky project as some of the other contractors that came to give quotes did not even know where to begin or just did not want to attempt the project all together. I made some changes to my end goal during construction and BJ was extremely accommodating and understanding. Will definitely be hiring him again."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Canastota, NY

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.
