"Elite Xteriors built a fantastic deck for our home in Wake Forest. From the daily clean up to the finished product everything was done with perfection. The crew was professional, but also friendly. The crew’s team lead, Alfredo was great communicating options as the build was in progress. The sales person Josh was very helpful and the owner, Brian was also extremely helpful with our process. You could not ask for a better team to work on your home. We are so pleased with the outcome "

Customers say: Super punctual

"I chose Reilly because of the many great reviews on Angi—and here’s mine: trust this team. They were thorough, professional, and highly skilled. They completed a full tear-down and rebuild of my deck, and it looks fantastic. The price was also competitive, which I truly appreciated. As a widow, I’ve sometimes been treated differently during home projects—but that was absolutely not the case here. Every member of the Reilly team treated me with honesty, respect, and professionalism. I felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process. I’ll definitely use Reilly again and highly recommend them."

"Highly recommend these guys! Really pleased with the end result of the work we had done. I greatly appreciate the GM Sean fielding my endless stream of questions; as a new home owner this whole process has been new for me so his willingness to help made the process so much easier. Joe and Jesus were the two guys assigned to the project, was very pleased with their work. They took their time and made sure everything was done right. A little delayed on day one, but other than that everything went smoothly."

"We were very happy with the work completed by Leon Home Repairs. They were efficient and thorough. The work included installing a new countertop, sink, faucet,, and light fixture in one bathroom and painting the bathroom; removing painted wallpaper from one large wall and smoothing and painting the wall; replacing one set of bifold closet doors and trimming off and adjusting multiple other sets so they would operate smoothly; and replacing large window panels and the door in our front entryway. Dimas, who served as the foreman for the work on our house, also smelled gas in our utility closet and on his own initiative, figured out where the gas leak was and showed us, so we could call someone to come repair that. The team had an excellent range of skills and knowledge to tackle the variety of work we needed them to do. We will definitely call Leon Home Repairs again if we need more work done in the future."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Cary, NC

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.
