"Steve and his team are A+ builders, designers, craftsmen, and construction professionals who had the ability to get us from vision to reality through relentless planning and execution. I think of Steve, John, and Joe as our partners in this home project and not just as contractors and carpenters. The team's attention to detail was very impressive. Every corner of trim or siding or window or decking, where one material meets another, just looks plain clean and awesome. The professionalism of the entire team was beyond stellar. The respect and courtesy of the core team and the way they interacted with me and my family throughout the entire project was unmatched. I cannot thank them enough for the care they wall put in to their work as well as how considerate they were in their time with us. And finally, Steve was great at communicating with us and responding to questions and concerns as well as regularly giving us timely updates on what was going to happen next and what he needed from us to keep the project moving forward. We are beyond thrilled with the final product. We have been able to take our 70s “cardboard” split level house and turn it into our dream home. I would not hesitate hiring South Eastern Carpentry again for another project. If you’re looking for a partner to help create, rebuild, or renovate your home, you’d be lucky to get South Eastern Carpentry on your side."

"JR and his crew were amazing. I had front porch replacement, a new back deck, house and garage painted and a small retaining wall built. They did amazing work, on time, cleaned up. They were all very nice and worked very hard. I would definitely recommend them and will hire them again when I need more work done."

"Royal Painting is the best! We recently had our three-story house restained along with two rooms inside. They were highly professional and did an outstanding job. It was a pleasure working with Ariela from start to finish. Her advice on everything to be repaired, color selection and matching, etc. was extremely valuable and highly appreciated. The entire crew was amazing: hard-working, with high-quality standards, and paid attention to the smallest details. On top of that, they brought a great vibe around the house with their very positive attitude. Last but not least, they were very flexible to our difficult demands as multiple projects were going on at the same time, requiring some adjustments and changes in schedule. I would hire them again when needed and would highly recommend them for their outstanding job."

"I originally asked this company to come out and give me a price on replacing my front walk that was starting to deteriorate. Upon looking at my roof, they asked me a number of questions and it was determined that my roof was the priority. They gave me a price they told me what they would do one over the guarantee and I hired them Their team showed up on time got the work done and the cleanup was amazing I would definitely recommend this company and think you will also be very satisfied with their service I realize initially the work to be done was my walkway, but obviously my roof had a priority"

"I hired Sun Step to do a number of things for me. They range from repair to a full demo and rebuild of a deck. Let me start on how professional they were in every step of the way walking me through what needed to be done. I first hired them to help me sell an old victorian home built in 1900. I had a water pipe break and flood my dining room. James cam to my home and removed all the water damage to the ceiling and walls and was very skilled to repair everything back to the way it was originally. He also helped me clear up a few points on a home inspection and the one I was most impressed with was a front door railing that he built from scratch and matched the time period with great precision. I also hired James to look at a deck on my new home in Westminster. He showed me all the damaged areas and was able to explain to me the process of repair. This was a full demo of the old deck and rebuild. I am very happy with the deck as I know now it is built correctly and safe."

"The company did a great job preparing and painting my deck. I thought I needed to replace the deck steps and they told me that was unnecessary because the step integrity was fine. They were enthusiastic about their work, on time, and wanted to be sure I was happy with the result. I will use the company again."

"I hired Joseph McWhinnie to convert my existing deck into a screened deck and extend it out for some outdoor space. He worked hard and smartly and improvised as things got along and made the correct adjustments. He is a multi-talented fully licensed general contractor, experienced at what he does, and proud of his thorough work. He showed up every day at 8 AM and did not leave the property until everything was cleaned and organized at the end of each day. He took his time ensuring the work was completed to the highest standards. Thanks to his great work, my screened deck came out amazing, and I’m truly impressed by his detail and craftsmanship! A very responsive and responsible contractor which is hard to find these days! I just wanted to acknowledge Joseph McWhinnie for a job well done. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a skillful, detail-oriented general contractor."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Franklin, MA

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.
