"We recently had our deck redone by SB General Construction. We are blown away by the final product, which exceeded our expectations. Sokol, the owner, was wonderful to work with. He provided daily updates, was on site daily, had great recommendations, and always responded promptly to our texts or calls. His entire team was professional, respectful, and hard working. He completed the entire job, which included replacing our wooden deck and stairs with trex, adding a roof over the deck which includes a fan, recessed lighting, heaters, and a tv, in 7 days. This was slightly ahead of schedule. Sokol and his team even worked on Saturday and Sunday. We would highly recommend them for any project and we have already hired them for another."

"The removal of the old deck and building of the new deck was done efficiently and professionally. They contacted me immediately if I had to ok something. The cleanup was phenomenal. In addition they were very nice people. I am using my new deck and I couldn't be happier. I vetted 4 professionals before I chose MECI Construction."

"Great experience all around. Leon was always very responsive throughout the project and quick to provide solutions when little challenges arose during the work - even eating some of the cost when an unexpected upgrade needed to happen. About a week after the project was done, paid for, and everyone said goodbye, a heavy wind blew my umbrella off the deck and damaged some of the new lattice work EHR just put in. I asked Leon for an extra piece of lattice, expecting to replace it myself. Instead, I woke up one morning and the repair was done by his team. Great customer service and great commitment to a job well done."

"We had our old wooden deck removed and replaced with a new 12x12 Trex deck, and we’re very happy with the results. The crew was professional, efficient, and easy to work with. They completed the project on a fast timeline without sacrificing quality, and the finished deck looks great. We’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for deck work."

"We hired John at American Home Remodeling, Inc., to renovate our first floor bathroom. My wife and I were finally ready to pull the plug on a renovation but were nervous with the process. John made it easy, and made sure to go over every fine detail as well as assure us of the proper building permits that were going to be issued by their expeditor with the township. The job went smooth from the beginning to the end. Since we had a great experience with John and his team, we started to get quotes on our deck which was in dire need of replacement. We ended up signing with American Home Remodeling for our deck replacement, and could not have been happier to do so. We finally get to enjoy our deck for the remainder of the spring and also for the summer. Thank you John for a job well done."

"5-Star experience with STRUG RENOVATIONS LLC ! We hired them to build our new deck, and despite cold, challenging weather conditions, the work was completed beautifully. It was a one-person build, and Zibby’s dedication to quality was unmatched. Zibby didn't take shortcuts just because it was cold. His pricing was very competitive, making the entire project a great value. Also, a huge shout out to his office person Eda! Eda didn't miss a beat—all materials were ordered on time, and she handled all communication with the township and inspectors perfectly, making the process stress-free for us. Fantastic service from start to finish! I would not hesitate to hire them for future work and also recommend others to use this company."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Fair Lawn, NJ

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.
