"We needed to replace a patch of our living room ceiling due to damage from a water leak upstairs. We contacted C&B, who responded and quoted us a price quickly. The price was fair for a multi-day job, they got it done within a week, and they even helped us repaint the ceiling. Very professional, courteous, and trustworthy. We'd strongly recommend!"

"Owner, Noah Garvey and team was on the job every day replacing old deck and with multiple repair & paint projects around on the house - even through a stint of 90 degree weather. Excellent work. I found Noah professional, knowledgeable and importantly, honest, fair and accommodating to my needs. Definitely a good hire."

"We contracted with Dundon Construction to replace our worn out deck. Ryan was willing to spend a good amount of time with us educating us as to material and design options. He quoted a very fair price, started work on the promised date, and worked with no interruptions to complete the job by the agreed upon completion date. His workmanship was of a very high caliber and we have been very pleased with the deck ever since. We have since engaged Ryan to do multiple other projects, including window installations, a bathroom remodel, and installation of a kitchen floor. All of these projects were completed by Ryan to the same high standards as the deck. He is a skilled and conscientious tradesman who we strongly and unreservedly recommend."

"Absolutely fantastic! On my daily walks, I noticed the amazing work done by Renald at a home he was working on in my neighborhood. I quickly got his information and had him do a beautiful stone wall and sidewalk in front of my home. Such wonderful work! I also had him redo my deck. It looks great! He is knowledgeable, professional, has high standards for his work and uses only the best materials. I highly recommend him to do work for you. Hire the best if you want the best work for your home that will last forever!"

"Family Hearth and Patio replaced our deck and did an amazing job. The new deck looks great-- a huge improvement over our aging composite material deck. Paul, the owner, was responsive and worked with us to come up with a design. Their workmanship is excellent, the deck materials are high quality and the whole thing was carefully built. It was not cheap, but we felt it was worth it because the materials used and workmanship were high quality. They built it over the winter and the weather slowed things down a bit, so it took over a month. My main critique is that we did not have a formal design drawing beforehand, just some sketches, so some decisions (like exactly how to position the stairs) were made with our input as the project progressed. A formal drawing upfront would have been better. But in terms of the quality of the result, I don't think anyone could make a more solidly built, better looking deck."

"Paul Riccio is, hands down, the most trustworthy and professional contractor I’ve ever worked with. Paul remodeled my basement after a flood and water mitigation had to be done. My basement was completely destroyed. Paul not just restored it, he transformed it. I lived alone and had to work, giving Paul access to my home while I wasn’t present. He was respectful of my home, treating it as his own. When I got home, work was always done and the work space was clean. He showed up when he said he would and worked tirelessly until the job was done. Paul Riccio is a contractor who takes pride in his work and puts great value on his personal and professional reputation. I can do no less than give Mr. Riccio my complete and wholehearted endorsement. He’ll be my go-to guy should I ever need anything done in my home again. Hire Paul Riccio for any home project, large or small. You won’t be disappointed."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Durham, CT

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.
