"Beware of this contractor. We had a horrible experience with them. Multiple mistakes were made by them that we ended up paying for. Our unhappy experience throughout culminated in the workers covering parts of our stone patio with congrete (see photos). One of the owner managers came out promptly to get his final payment from us, which we gave him in good faith. During his visit he promised to repair the mess made of our patio during the following week. We’ve haven’t heard from him or anyone else in the company again. 5 weeks… crickets."

"Professional Engineer took care of my deck rebuild from start to finish. Addressed known problems up front in planning and factored in repairs and additional risk mitigations. During the project, addressed discovered issues promptly and without unnecessary delay. I knew the job was getting done right the first time! Took care of everything from aesthetics of matching fence around my AC to grading gravel underneath for moisture protection. Had the answers to questions I didn’t know to ask. Job site was kept clean daily and minimal footprint. When they left, all I have to show for it is a beautiful new deck. Professionalism and Communication top notch throughout the entire process. Highly recommend."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Gloucester, VA

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.
