"They did a phenomenal job on our two ceilings in this 1890’s home. They showed up on time, were responsive to our questions, worked diligently, completed in time, did a professional job, and the results are beautiful. Their price was reasonable too. I strongly recommend them. "

"An Outstanding Renovation Experience with White Maple Construction From outdated to ultramodern, White Maple Construction led by the brilliant Ryan Brining has executed an awe-inspiring transformation of my kitchen. They catapulted my cooking space from a â That 70s Showâ backdrop into a sleek and sexy entertaining space reminiscent of the opulence seen in â Successionâ . The transformation started with the meticulous removal of the decades-old vinyl flooring, layers upon layers of it, an endeavor that revealed the teamâ s dedication to detail and quality. What followed was a thoughtful renovation plan that involved knocking down unnecessary walls, instantly opening up the space, and infusing it with modern chic design elements that I could only dream of before. A particular highlight of working with White Maple Construction was the teamâ s exceptional responsiveness. Ryan and his team promptly answered every call, making us feel heard and valued at every step of the project. They even went above and beyond, coming over late in the evening to address a concern about our heating system after a dayâ s work, demonstrating their genuine care for our comfort and satisfaction. Beyond their aesthetic expertise, what set White Maple Construction apart was their seamless collaboration with skilled plumbers and electricians. Their collective attention to detail and mastery of their respective crafts was evident in the precision and quality of their work, instilling confidence in us throughout the process. Despite their luxurious execution, White Maple Construction operated with budget-conscious efficiency. They made it possible for us to achieve our dream kitchen without breaking the bank. They turned a dated, enclosed space into an open, modern, and functional masterpiece, making us feel rich in style without feeling poor in pocket. Iâ ve included some before and after photos to give a hint of the transformational magic conjured by Briningâ s team. However, no picture can fully encapsulate the astounding depth of change made possible by these skilled professionals. To sum it up, if youâ re looking for a construction team that delivers on promises, exceeds expectations, and takes your design dreams to the next level, White Maple Construction should be your go-to choice. Their fusion of outstanding workmanship, efficient collaboration, budget-conscious planning, and exceptional customer service results in a renovation experience that is nothing short of remarkable."

"MC General Construction were absolute professionals. Mandi Cocka, the owner of the company is fantastic. The team did exactly what they said they would do and cleaned up the site each evening upon completion of their work that day. Mandi and his crew were a pleasure to have work on our project which was a very detailed and difficult job. I am a detail person so i expect expert and quality work and that is exactly what we received. I would not hesitate to hire MC General Construction in the future. I highly recommend Mandi for your future projects. "

"I had a deck rebuild/expansion and a new patio installed. The work Amaya did was immaculately done. Nick and his teams were extremely nice, professional, accommodating, knowledgeable and clean!! Anything, I mean anything that I asked of them was completed to perfection, and honestly I’m not very easy to please when it comes to this work since I do most renovations and home improvements myself. I recommend them wholeheartedly!!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Franklin Lakes, 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.
