"I was very pleased with the service Agape provided.  I used the special deal provided by Angie's List and Agape.  I informed Agape the leaves were down.  I could not even tell they had been here....there were no leaves left on the sidewalks or any other signs.  I could see the limb had been pruned and water at the end of my long drain.  Communication was fine and people were pleasant.  I will definitely ask them to come back in spring when the seedlings grow in the gutters. Way to go, Agape.

"I hired A&K decking fencing and more to replace my front and back porch. Prior to hiring them, the front porch steps were loose, the railing was ineffective (for the front porch) and there was no railing on the back porch leaving quite a bit of a drop-off, not to mention it was sloping and felt unsafe. They were quick to come out and give me a quote on the spot and were affordable. The longest part was getting the permit from the city and as soon as that was acquired, they were ready within 48 hours to do the job. They kept contacting me to follow up to check on if I had the permit, which I appreciated their responsiveness. They did an excellent job of replacing both porches, went above and beyond in helping with my fence issues (the gate install wasn't done right by a different contractor), and were affordable for making those repairs. They also noticed that the back porch roof wasn't secure to the wood block and replaced that for me as well. Every step of the way I felt confident in the work that they provided. I would hire them again in an instant (and wish I'd have known about them when I had my fence done because my fence contractor was a nightmare). These guys are reputable, dependable, affordable, and high quality. I'm extremely satisfied with the work they did, the end product, and their level of service. Highly recommend."

"Great service that stands out from other contractors! Gets things done quickly but correctly. Every time I hire a contractor, they say it is expensive because it takes so long but then I see them sitting around and not really working. Hiring VSM was a breath of fresh air. He was moving quickly without cutting corners. It i s hard to find good help for a fair price nowadays."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Dwight, IL

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.
