"Number one in communications and top attention in details. We worked with Geico Builders to build our addition, ADU and install pavers on the front of the house. Overall the process took us almost one year they were delays from the city of Oakland on approval plans despite that Victor went above and beyond and smooth all process once they got to actual building. He work hard to make progress easy on our addition especially with tough Inspectors. The quality of our new ADU well-built, and the bathroom has a great tile work with precise attention to details. Their price was not the cheapest one but for the amount of time and quality of work it’s very well deserved, we feel like we got good value for the money we paid. We do recommend Geico Builders and especially Victor to all who is looking for quality work."

"Paul and Matt did a fine professional job on taking out the old rotten deck and replacing it. They got the job done quickly, within 3 days. They put an extra set of steps like I requested on the new deck (two total step areas instead of one). Paul was also generous enough to put in a bolt to secure a railing on a side porch, which involved drilling into wood and concrete. They went beyond the expected and did a fine job for a decent price."

"We hired DCCF to replace our front deck with Trex decking. We had a wood deck and painted railings that were getting dry rot. The new Trex decking and black metal railings really updated the look of our house. Their price was fair and they did a great job. We are very pleased with the quality of their work and the materials they used."

"Absolutely awesome. Easy to work with and fair. Mcqueen construction was one of several contractors I contacted for a bid. There were two contractors I felt comfortable with and confident that the result would be good. (Fingers crossed). For some reason I felt Scott would be someone I felt comfortable with and could work with. They removed my 20+ year old deck and spent 2 days shoring up the superstructure, leveling, measuring, etc. , and came up with some options of how best to install a new trex deck and not waste boards. From then on the work, the effort to complete the job, the willingness to communicate was what I hoped for. The result was great. Couldnâ t be happier and would highly recommend them for any job that requires a contractor."

"Could not have gone better. William and his two sons were so good, so professional, and did top notch quality work. They listened to me well and executed perfectly. They started when they said they would and ended when they said they would. Their invoicing was detailed, clear, and professional. William also doesn’t try to rip you off like the 10 other deck contractors that I got bids from before I was lucky enough to find him. I am constantly working with contractors in my business and I have been telling everyone I can about this company because they are fair, timely, and do the absolute highest quality work. I also loved how William focuses on ways to keep costs down for the homeowner and the hoops he jumps through just to, for example, install a very nice railing system at a reasonable cost. Also important to his success is he ONLY DOES DECKS. THIS IS YOUR DECK GUY!"

"I’m very happy with the way the deck turned out. I originally hired them to take care of some storm damage to my deck cover and they did a great job on that so when we decided to change over to composite decking they were who we called. The team is friendly and easy to work. I will definitely call them again for future projects."

"We decided to remodel our outdated bathroom, and McCormick Home Builders was a fantastic choice. Khaled and the team delivered high-quality work within the timeline and our budget. Every detail, from the tile work to the lighting, was beautifully done. They communicated well throughout, keeping us informed at every step, and the end result was truly a spa-like bathroom we can enjoy daily. We’d love to work with them again!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Carmichael, CA

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.
