Steve and his team are exceptional craftsman and provide a high level of service. It seems there is nothing they can’t do and do well. Highly recommend. "

"Had a great experience with Mark - I ended up hiring him for more than just carpet replacement, and ended up using him as my seller’s agent to put the house on the market."

"Open Air Escapes build a 35' composite deck for my home—22' of it covered with a roof and ceiling fan—and the experience was outstanding. Buddy and his team stood out for their attention to detail, craftsmanship, and professionalism. I had multiple quotes, but after speaking with Buddy, I knew he was the right choice. The crew was skilled, efficient, and even worked through freezing temps to stay on schedule. Despite some county-related hiccups, Buddy handled everything smoothly and kept me updated throughout. The deck is solid, beautiful, and built to last—this is not your average deck. It’s PREMIUM quality through and through. Open Air Escapes exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional work and a dependable team. "

"Wonderful work! When they get started they are efficient and thorough. Went above and beyond creating the walk to go around the curve of my flowerbed. Friendly too. As the work went along they made sure to confirm everything they did was exactly what we wanted."

"I could not be more pleased with the roofing job completed by Fletcher Construction! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. The estimate process was incredibly thorough they sat down with me to go through every detail and explore all possible options, ensuring I understood everything. They even worked with me to submit the estimate to my insurance company, which made the process so much smoother. The crew was outstanding professional, timely, and efficient. They completed the project quickly without sacrificing quality, and the results are excellent. I am so impressed with their work that Ill undoubtedly be reaching out to them for other projects around the house. Highly recommend Fletcher Construction for their professionalism, expertise, and top-notch service!"

"I had gotten 3 estimates on replacing a wooden 4 rail fence surrounding my 2 acre property. Erik from Chesterfield Fencing was the last one I talked to and was very thorough on the products and procedure. Presented me with a high tech type estimate/quote. I'm impressed how the company has invested in such a beneficial program but doesn't seem to affect the cost of the job. 1st company (recommended by long time friend) estimator/owner had me hold tape measure in between an electrical storm (two houses in my area got hit by lightning in that very storm and quote was hand drawn not to mention they were the highest $!) Jacob came out to show me a sample of the aluminum fencing I had asked for when company #2 lowered the $ to meet Chesterfield. We discussed where the fencing materials come from and history of the company. As a former small business owner I respect that they are as well. Cody helped me decide on multiple situations on how to run the fence line. Cody's Red and Blue install teams exceeded my expectations!! Which confirms I chose the right company!!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Chester, VA

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.
