"If you are looking for a top notch carpentry service qualified in all phases of construction, then we highly recommend Lindholm’s Carpentry and Home Repair, LLC in Rio Grande, NJ. We hired Scott Lindholm to build a deck with an integrated swim spa. Scott worked with us to develop a concept design, and then apply for township permits. Quality of materials and construction was always at the forefront of the project. The work was completed in record time, just under 3 weeks. Most importantly, Scott Lindholm worked hands on along side his construction crew every day. All were very respectful and accommodating to us and the neighbors. At the end of the day, we love the deck which incorporates nicely designed steps, an access door to the crawl space, railing and composite decking! Because the Lindholm team is in high demand, you may have to wait for availability. So, we recommend talking with Scott Lindholm early in your planning. You will be glad you hired the Lindholm team!"

"Highly recommend Zzeo's Home Restorations. Extremely satisfied with the project work. Has water leakage into the house above the living room double windows. At first thought that the source was a roof overhang above the window. Angel gave an estimate for the work assuming it was the source. However, he warned that source could be from cracks in to mortar of the rock façade and would not know until some of the interior dry wall above the window and the roofing on the overhang was removed. Unfortunately the overhang was not the source of water intrusion. Thus had to remove the rock façade to find the source. Anel gave me a revised estimate for the work needed. So the damaged exterior wood was replace and interior drywall section replaced. The outside section where the rocks were removed was properly waterproofed. Instead of rock had this section replace with bricks. Also since the second floor window just above the leak and the double living room room window were in need of repair or replacement, had these windows replaced. Angel kept us informed as work progressed. His crew were very respectful and knowledgeable. The project results were extremely satisfying. As the project was being completed, my neighbors were very much impressed with workmanship and beauty of the work. Again highly recommend Zzeo's Home Restorations. I anticipate that I will use them for future projects."

"Mike Bergen came to our house to discuss adding a deck to our existing porch. He helped us design a deck to fit with our space considerations in mind. His quote was very reasonable. Mike is very hands-on and came to check on progress repeatedly. Even when we made a few changes. Mike was very accommodating. We couldn't have asked for a better crew to work with. They were also accommodating and professional. The deck has enhanced our house and backyard. We would recommend Veterans Construction to any friend or family member."

"TMM Builders (Ted) did a full rebuild of our house in Avalon, from knockdown to completion. We are so very pleased with the work that was done, which was completed in a very efficient, highly professional manner. We have had several people in the construction trade tour the home and comment that they were very impressed at the quality of the workmanship and professional manner in which it was completed. No shortcuts were taken or corners cut. Ted was very easy to work with from start to finish. He worked with my wife and me on all key decisions, always pointing out what was coming next and when he would need our decisions. Ted is also a very fair and honest man. HIs quote was his quote. There were no games played. He was very easy to deal with throughout the process. I would highly recommend Ted/TMM Builders to anyone who wanted high quality work done at their house."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Cape May, 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.
