"I highly recommend Matt and Will. They came quickly to give a quote, knew exactly what needed to be done for the job, used high quality materials and were truly fairly priced. Workmanship was very high quality (their install will outlast the rest of the house, likely!) and Matt was very communicative on the important stuff. They are genuinely nice guys as well. True 5 star rating."

"After consulting a total of three kitchen remodelers / contractors my wife and I made the right decision to with Dwell Construction. From start to finish Shane was forthright and flexible to what our vision and needs were. He provided several options as to the finished remodel. Everyone has a budget and was able to meet our specifications without sacrificing quality and workmanship. His team was on site daily from start to finish. Any little hiccups were addressed and taken care of. The kitchen remodel looks fantastic and has added value to our home. If you are considering a remodel or upgrade we recommend Shane and his team unequivocally. You won’t be disappointed. "

"We hired John to replace and expand our deck. We knew from the first meeting with John that he was a very experienced, professional, and honest contractor. He was very easy to work with, got back to us in a timely manner with any questions or concerns, and worked within our budget. We also were extremely impressed that he himself actually did a lot of the work and was on sight most of the time with his team to oversee things! Our Trex deck could not have turned out more beautiful and we would highly recommend John for any job you need done!"

"I was looking for a contractor to replace my front porch and upgrade my back porch but had no clue where to start and what contractor to use. No recommendations came forth from friends or family so I took to the internet to find a contractor, which in my experience is a recipe for disaster. Call it good energy from the universe or luck or whatever but I found Webster Renovations & Repairs. After meeting several times with Josh, the owner, I couldn't have been more comfortable entering into a contract for the work. He was polite, present, knowledgeable. Spent time with me explaining details. Webster's work was meticulous and every detail perfect. Like they were building it for their mother. Now I know I can rely on Webster for future projects and let my friends and family know that Webster is the way to go. I highly recommend Josh and his team. Highly caring and highly skilled!"

"We couldn't be happier with our new 4-season sunroom, and we can't say enough about the people at Better Living Patio Rooms! We've had a lot of work done at our house over the years, but the crew from Better Living stands above the rest. Once the project began, work continued - without pause - until it was completed. From Anthony in sales, Mike in project management, Michelle and Jenn in the office, and Frank and Justin (who did the work), they were professional, detail-oriented, and friendly. I highly recommend Better Living. Brian in McCandless."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Cranberry Township, 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.
