"They tore down my deck and built a brand new one, the guys were very respectful and kind. Paid attention to detail and really brought my vision to life! They did so well I hired them to do my roof, which they did great with that as well!"

"The quality of work was very good, and the workers were prompt and nice to work with. David Marshall is very easy to get ahold of and I think this is a real virtue compared to other handymen I have worked with in Duluth. They called around and found a spring to fix a very old window of ours that we have otherwise needed to replace. All of these were very positive aspects of the interaction.
My only negative comment is that one of the projects (the custom door) ended up being much more expensive than I anticipated. I think this was because one of the workers suggested something that we did not have in the quote, and I was just not prepared for the expense. I think that this is more of a communication issue than anything. I still highly recommend Marshall Handyman, but I would just be very careful to specify the price of anything if modifications are made during the repair process, especially if you are talking to an employee and not David Marshall. Otherwise, good work.

"I was given Diser's contact information from a couple people off a blog website. Before hiring someone I like to look into anyone that I hire. With that being said, I received a quote for him to do a deck repair on my house. I knew it was going to be a difficult job because I own a brick home that the deck we had already had reroofed and fixed up a few years prior. We also didn't want to completely redo the deck either. He and his crew have been hands down the best company that we have worked with on any remodeling project. They are very professional, polite, quick to respond to emails and text messages or phone calls, and very understanding. Throughout the repair he asked questions if he needed approval and was very timely on the job. We are very happy that we hired his company as they were the right company for the job. We also ran into a problem with our skylight leaking and he has graciously been able to give us a quote to get it replaced. It's been amazing to work with him and his crew!"

"This company is totally professional. Throughout the job I was apprised of what was happening and the crew worked very efficiently. Cost was the best of everyone I checked on and if something needed to be added on or replaced I was told up front what was needed and why. I think what I liked the most was how they continuously looked after the surrounding area to insure nothing got into the neighbors yard. I am definitely going to use this company again"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Duluth, MN

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.
