"BRW Construction is fantastic. Brian and his team did an awesome job building our farmers porch. Even with all the rain days they completed the project completely on time, they even came on weekends to make up for the rain days, that’s unheard of these days. They cleaned everything up after a long days work too, they are very neat. We are so happy with our build and are looking forward to another project with them. We couldn’t be happier with the way it came out, it’s beautiful! Thank you Brian! We love the porch!"

"I hired Torin Soares to build a shed extension for my barn to house feed and tack. It was refreshing for a contractor to ask for what I was looking for, rather than informing me what they would build. He took the time to lay out a template for me to see in person before pouring a concrete foundation to make sure there would be enough space for all of my supplies. Very easy to work with and very engaging in order to accommodate my needs. I would Highly recommend!"

"We worked with Prudential at the beginning of the year and they did such a great job that we decided to work with them again and boy did we go all out. We took the leap, got a home equity loan and did everything we wanted to do from siding to decking to even closet work. We could not be more pleased if we tried. I did get other quotes in the beginning, but you would not believe the number of contractors that do not respond to calls or emails. I had two contractors that came out and never even sent me over a quote. Thank you Shannon for always keeping us in the loop. I would give you all a higher grade if there was one."

"Working with Pro Warrior Construction on our enclosed porch was a fantastic experience. Yann, the owner, was hands-on, professional, and made the entire process smooth from day one. He kept us informed, stayed on schedule, and made sure every detail was handled properly. The craftsmanship and overall quality of the build really impressed us. The enclosed porch turned out beautiful and has become one of our favorite spaces in the house. It’s clear that Yann and his team take pride in their work and genuinely care about delivering great results. We’re extremely happy with the outcome and would confidently recommend Pro Warrior Construction to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality construction services."

"True north has done many projects for us and recently did our back deck which ended up changing into a screened in porch. They are always on time, professional, friendly and have worked with us making adjustments and changes. The workmanship is very good! I d hire them back for any future projects."

Customers say: Quick response

"Teagan is the most professional and competent carpenter I’ve ever worked with. I went through some others from Home Advisor that were comical in how inept and terrible they were. Plank & Pine is the real deal: Responsive, honest, professional, capable. Very good to deal with. Price was quite fair for the work we needed."

"TJ Cusano Remodeling was recommended to me by a friend, and they did an outstanding job on our deck addition. Extremely professional, prompt, and reliable from start to finish.

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Exeter, NH

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.
