"I hired Register Repair Services to repair my 35 years old deck. They did splendid job and though there were few days delay due to medical issues they finished the job very well. They responded to questions with patience and professionalism. Would hire them again and recommend the crew to anyone wanting to build new deck. Overall, quality work at affordable price. Joe from Chapel Hill"

"The team from Remodeling Company did a splendid job in replacing our aging and weather damaged roof. Our rep did a terrific job working with us to understand the process and in answering all our questions. The team also worked diligently to come up with a financial solution that best fit our situation and which we are most grateful for. Considering the size of our roof they were able to complete the entire process - prep, demo, underlayment, shingles, and clean up in a single day and without any difficulties or issues. All in all an excellent experience and we heartily endorse them!"

"Doug added innovative design elements to the project that significantly enhanced the finished ramp. He was very reasonable to work with and on schedule, came back 6 months later to complete the final painting after the treated lumber had seasoned. I definitely would hire him again and have recommended him to several close friends."

"Allen was awesome to work with and I look forward to using him in the future for any projects that come up. I called him to come out for a quote and he showed up 30 minutes later! It was so fast that I was not home yet and he patiently waited for me. I couldn't believe that. He assessed the damage from a window leak and found where the old caulk had broken down outside, causing separation from the siding to the window. He could have probably charged me hundreds of dollars to replace everything but wanted to go the simple path first. I highly recommend Six A's Handyman Service!!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Durham, NC

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.
