"Finding a capable and reliable contractor is not easy. When we decided to remodel two bathrooms, no one we asked could give a strong recommendation for any previous contractor. We had postponed these projects for years, simply because we dreaded another â bad contractorâ experience. Thatâ s why itâ s so rewarding for us for us to report that Pegasus is the contractor weâ ve been looking for. Kudos to Walter for building and leading an up and coming young company that compares favorably against more established firms. They were responsive to our requests, provided timely communication and were actually fun to work with. They were extremely respectful of our home and performed a thorough clean up at the end of every work day. Every project inevitably encounters challenges along the way and ours was no different. But we donâ t judge others by mistakes made, we judge them by how they solve problems. In every instance, Pegasus resolved stumbling blocks quickly, graciously and with professionalism. As a result, our experience was painless and the finished bathrooms are a showcase of quality work we are proud to share with others. We now have a company we can confidently recommend to others."

Process went smoothly, Anthony kept us fully informed of where each step of the work was, from removing our old wooden deck to getting permits and building the new deck with composite. The end result is amazing, we look forward to enjoying our new space for years to come. "

"Carolyn T. I have never written a review before for any company, but I find it necessary to share our experience with the ATD Landscaping Company. We found them to be very friendly and helpful. They worked with us from start to finish, also helping us with the choice of materials and style. We contracted them to replace our walkway and garden wall. They were always on time and worked diligently and meticulously to finish our project. They assured us that once they started our project, they would come every day until it was finished. And that's exactly what they did. The end result is simply beautiful. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants a great and hassle free experience."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Gaithersburg, MD

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.
