"Joe and his team from coastal renovations were one of the best experiences I have had on any renovation we have done on many homes we have owned. From start to finish they explained every step taken and when the project was completed we couldn't be happier. If your looking for a contractor I would highly recommend them. "

"Evan and his team remodeled four bathrooms for us. There was excellent communication, great effort with good results, and from the estimate until the final bill, the costs and billing were clear. Evan is friendly and easy to work with. I would choose him all over again given the quality of his team and their performance. "

"Brent and his crew provided quality, fine workmanship. Due to local ordinances our simple roof extension project became a lot more complex and Atlantic fulfilled our every wish in a prompt time frame with competitive pricing. Our screened in deck/porch looks like it was always there! Check them out for any home projects you may have-after they finish our interior projects! 😀"

Small jobs welcome

"His employee went beyond all expectations by cutting and replacing a little ceramic tile and figured out the best way to remove the old washer - took him over 2 hours of HARD labor. Did a magnificent job of installing the new dishwasherand replacing the tiles that had to be removed. Set the tiles so that if we ever have to replace the dishwasher again, the tiles can be removed easily and then re-installed. Took him and his helper 5 hours to complete for a very reasonable price. High quality handyman (think it was Jeff). Would used this company for any home repairs!"

"Had the owners over for a quote, very reasonable and could be done convenient to both us and them. The roof was completed quickly and efficiently with a great crew very organized. Clean up was also great. I couldnâ t be more pleased! Our neighbor had their roof done a few weeks ago also, that contractor still isnâ t done. So glad I called D&R."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Frankford, DE

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.
