"We are very happy with our deck results and would highly recommend C Maurer! They took on a refinishing job, requiring the team to strip, sand, replace a few boards, and hand paint our stubborn deck, which was not an easy task due to the solid stain that was previously on there. Sofina and team were persistent, professional, and she did a fantastic job! Thank you!!"

"Installed electric, insulation, and OSB plywood in our 14x24 storage shed. Very well done. Tapped into the breaker box in the garage for power. Worked in any weather conditions necessary and very courteous. Workers were timely and skilled. Did not leave a mess and stayed on task. Finished in a timely manner. I would use this company again if we needed some work done. Cost seemed to be pretty reasonable considering the fluctuation in prices. for material and inflation at the time. Some of the nicest people I?ve ever met. I?m glad we used them. Job well done."

"We received bids for a deck from three different companies, but Jim at Hungry Carpenter was by far the most professional. He sat down with us and walked us through the details of the projects, and he was the only one to write us an actual detailed bid. His prices were fair and honest. I highly recommend that you consider using him for your next deck project."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Florissant, MO

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.
