"Armor Exteriors completed three jobs for us and we were pleased with the work completed on each one: They installed a new door and storm door. Demolished an old deck and built a new deck and cover. Repairs and upgrades to our garage doors and frame. Their estimates were comprehensive and competitive. They were always there when they said they would be (some contractors leave you waiting). They were always professional, polite and cleaned up the work area each day. We plan to have them do more work for us and recommend them highly."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Had them rip out the fireplace that was installed poorly in 1990. A bit costly, but I doubt a single handyman could have done it in a timely fashion. Done in 3 days start to finish. I was expecting some water damage, but it was much worse. Getting a exact price for the work out of them beforehand was impossible. Ultimately it cost $2500 extra do to having to replace more sections of the roof and support beans. They didn't pull a fast one, the wood crumbled when touched. Labor isn't cheap. Would hire them again because the work is solid. "

"I’m posting this before Heartwood Home Exteriors begins our deck and covered awning, and here’s why: Ben and Shaun’s professionalism gives me complete confidence in the outcome. They spent real time walking me through every composite decking option: Trex, Fiberon, TimberTech. Explaining pros and cons without any upselling. Just honest guidance to help me choose right for our Lacey home and Pacific Northwest weather. What impressed me most: their values. Time is money, and they don’t waste yours. Transparent pricing, fair negotiation, clear answers. They’re licensed, experienced, and genuinely care about doing right by customers. Yes, they’re newer… which means they’re building their reputation the right way. That’s exactly what I want. I’ll update after completion, but I wanted to share this now because finding contractors with this integrity is rare. Highly recommend for composite decking in Olympia/Lacey."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Centralia, WA

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.
