"Stefan and Vilson are the best father and son duo youâ ll ever come across. They treat you like family and give you professionalism the entire time from start to completion. They were very friendly at the onset and thorough in their inspection and quote when they came to review our home needs and renovation wishlist. They carefully went through everything with us to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. Even with COVID happening, they stuck with us as our construction and design and build partner and made it seamlessly effortless. With FaceTime and in person meetings still but with the right protocols in place. We finished on time and on budget. They worked patiently with our picky building department. My wife and I couldnâ t have asked for better partners to take on our massive entire home renovation. They completed a full demolition, full framing of vaulted ceilings throughout a ~1200 sq ft 3 bed 1 bath home, then spray foam throughout, new subfloors, new maple hardwood floors, four skylights, metal siding, metal roof, full house painting, new Italian marble bathroom, porcelain subway tile, modern glass shower doors, European finishes, mid century modern lighting, Pella windows, everything they purchased and installed was A+++++ grade. If youâ d like to speak with us about V&S home improvement please ask Stefan or Vilson for our number weâ d love to give a verbal review."

"Mickey performed excellent work at my house. I hired him to fix my retaining wall and steps at first then secondly my basement was mess with water coming in. Mickey helped with demo as I decided to remodel the basement as well, then he waterproofed my entire basement. Finally, he leveled out my basement floor. The work was absolutely immaculate and on top of that he was extremely helpful throughout the process and not once did I ever have to stress or worry. Great service and a great guy. I highly recommend Mickey if you need ANY type of masonry or stone work."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Carmel, 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.
