"Tom and his son Tommy did a wonderful job. Removing our relatively new railing and then replacing it back after the deck was completed was a challenge that other contractors could not guarantee. The railings went back exactly as before, without any damage or lost pieces. They arrived on time and removed all of the old cedar two level decking. They made sure all of the sub-structure was in good condition, and replaced/reinforced where ever was necessary. They even demolished the existing steps, and built an entire new stairs. I had an existing problem with wood rot under my sliding glass door, but Tom adding flashing and insured that the new decking was slightly sloped away from the door to keep rain and moisture away from the wood base. Their overall workmanship was outstanding. They cleaned up the premises so well, that you wouldn't even know they were here. We had received estimates from several companies, but what we liked about Russett was that they only do decks, and they do it themselves......no subcontracting. I would highly recommend them to anyone."

"Had my fence built and everything was done professionally , after they were done they packed and cleaned up as if they were never there. Great thing is if you have an issue with your fence/deck you can always give them a call and they'll come check it out"

"In addition to being an all around good guy, Walter was great to work with! He has a lot of experience working in construction and it shows in the final product. We are extremely happy with our new lodge-style permanent deck roof, and will definitely be giving Walter a call again for future projects. He always kept in touch and communicated consistently throughout the duration of the construction, and saw it through to the end despite the challenges. Highly recommend!"

"When I called around to gather estimates, Andrea Woodall was the only one that didnâ t change her tone or tell me there was no way we could have everything we wanted in our kitchen with the budget we set. We wanted to remove walls and have our kitchen & dining room combined in to one large space with plenty of cabinetry. Andrea is super knowledgeable and super professional, she listened to me and made great suggestions. We didnâ t change one thing in her design. We were happy with the knowledge and enthusiasm of our Project Manager. She walked us through the whole process and tentative timing of the project. Things started off a little shaky and a bit unorganized but canâ t say enough good things about the crew that did the demo (which was gross), support beam, and getting ceiling & walls ready for drywall. Alex, Bob & Kenton worked hard and cared about our kitchen. Also, Rudy had to work hard to get the electric, heating & plumbing right. Heâ s a super upbeat, likeable & nice guy to be around. Our Project Manager, for personal reasons, had to step down. Nate was assigned to take over our project and communication and scheduling improved. He kept things moving forward. He seemed to have a ton on his plate already but took good care of us. Nate is a good representative of Home Remodeling Pro (even though heâ s a cowboyâ s fan ð ). We are ecstatic with the results! At least once every day I say, â I canâ t believe this is our kitchenâ . This is a big â thank youâ to Mike Wynn & Rich for their excellent workmanship. We will have Home Remodeling Pro back in a year or so for a bathroom renovation."

"Stumps did an incredible job from the initial consultation and estimating process, going through a few rounds of revisions to come up with a final design and budget for our deck. Aaron was a great sales consultant during this process. Once the job started, both the excavation crew and build crew, led by the foreman Kevin, were fantastic. They cleaned up the job site every day and they had a great attention to detail when finishing their work. Eric, our project coordinator, was very responsive through the entire process so we knew the dates and times the crews would be at our house working and when inspections would be done"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Gettysburg, PA

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.
