"John was the best contractor I ever had. His three sons that work with him did the best job that I could have ever hoped for. Their attention to detail was impressive and they even did work over and above what was to be done. I have various other projects and without hesitation I will have John do the work. "

"Manfredia's Carpentry is a top notch contractor. I did a fireplace surround with stone and also added the stone on two columns off of the kitchen to match. The quality of their work is exceptional. They are very professional and always on time. They kept me informed every step of the way. They always kept the work site very clean. I couldn't be happier with the final outcome. We also stayed on budget. I would highly recommend Manfredia's Carpentry for any job. Well done. Thank you. Debbie"

"A wonderful job. Very quick response when a tree fell on our house and caused roof damage - the roof had been installed by NexGen 5 years prior & was working well through storms and high winds. NexGen worked closely with our insurance company ensuring we received all of the compensation we needed and were due. We have had NexGen replace doors at the house as well and have been very pleased with the responsiveness, expertise, efficiency, workmanship & personalized care afforded by all of the folks working there. Wouldn't go anywhere."

"Al’s Home Improvements did an absolutely outstanding job on our large 22 year-old deck. They replaced the surface, base and railings and added beautiful lighting and a privacy wall. From the very first estimate through project completion the process was smooth and stress-free. Communication was excellent every step of the way. The crew was polite, respectful, and professional, and they even finish the job ahead of schedule while staying exactly on budget. The quality of their work is truly exceptional. You can tell they are true craftsman who take pride in what they do. We couldn’t be happier with the results and give Al’s Home Improvements And Decks a rating of 5 stars without hesitation!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Getting our deck replaced was such a pleasant experience with Champion Deck Pro. The owner, Todd Champion, was prompt, courteous, and very knowledgeable. What we thought was going to be a rebuild, after our low deck collapsed on one side, ended up being a replacement because everything underneath was rotten and poorly constructed. Todd and his crew stayed within the same time frame even though they had to pour new footers. The price adjustment was surprisingly reasonable and the finished deck looks amazing! We are looking forward to their return this spring to stain the wood to match our HOA requirements. We highly recommend this company! "

"Declan and his team did a fantastic job with our deck repair. Our deck had some significant deterioration and Declan gave me a very clear assessment, was transparent and responsive throughout, and got the work done quickly and within the budget we agreed to. He even identified an issue with the siding of my house next to the deck that I wasn’t aware of and help quickly remedy the issue. Most importantly, his team did great work and the repaired deck looks great! We’ll be calling Declan back for any of our future projects!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Chadds Ford, PA

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.
