"Kevin fully replaced our backyard deck and front porch. Their work was outstanding and the final products turned out beautifully. The work was started promptly and completed swiftly but without sacrificing quality or attention to detail. Kevin was kind, responsive, and went out of his way to ensure that I was happy with his work. Iâ ve never had a job run so smoothly. Definitely recommend!"

"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."

"Joe is great. He was helpful in his recommendations for our deck. He was very accommodating in making sure the project was done as early as possible even though decking supplies are in short supply. He worked with me and the material supplier to make sure that our project was done as soon as possible at a very reasonable price compared to others. His team was quick and the quality of the work was top notch. I would absolutely recommend Joe and his team for a deck and I would hire him again for another job around my home."

"Mandi and his father were very personable, they presented their estimate quickly and respectfully and fairly. Their workmanship is top quality. They scheduled the replacement of my deck in a timely manner. They started the replacement when they said they would, then came everyday until the job was completed. They consulted me throughout the project. I would highly recommend MC Construction to anyone that wants perfection and quality work in a timely manner."

"The owner, Leon, really oversaw the job. He came by to check with his employees several times during the day every day. The work performed was real old fashioned European craftsmanship. The skirt on the deck is so nice and even has a door so we can use underneath the deck for storage. The guys always showed up early and went right to work and stayed until 5pm (even in drizzly days) so our deck was finished quickly. The workers also took everything off the old deck and put it back when finished! Our deck is absolutely gorgeous!"

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.
