"David had completed a deck for our friends, and he came highly recommended. He was easy to work with as we planned our new deck on our new house, offering many suggestions to fit out backyard terrain. The quality of our deck is amazing—sturdy and well put together. The workers were very professional and took great pride in their work. I highly recommend C Maurer Building!"

"I highly recommend Fence and Deck Depot for anyone looking to undertake a deck project. In 2022, I made the mistake of cutting corners by opting for a cheaper option with a big box retailer, and it ended up being a disaster with a failed deck by the city and a settlement that took nine months. Luckily, Fence & Deck Depot came to my rescue and provided top-notch service and materials. The Deck: The crew of two took one week to finish. One aspect that truly stood out was the level of craftsmanship displayed by the team. They paid meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every composite panel was perfectly straight. Even the parts of the deck that no one would typically see, like the lumber pillars underneath the deck, were painted to blend in. Before leaving the project, they hosed down the deck and removed any debris. The commitment to excellence and a high level of integrity sets them apart. Experience: From start to finish, the professionalism of the Fence & Deck Depot team was exceptional. They consistently maintained clear communication at every step of the process, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. What truly sets them apart is their willingness to go above and beyond. Initially, we had our deck installed by a big box retailer to save costs. Unfortunately, the deck failed multiple city inspections, requiring its complete removal. Fortunately, the Fence & Deck Depot team stepped in, offering guidance and answering our questions as we navigated a settlement with the original installer. What's remarkable is that they were incredibly responsive, addressing numerous emails and phone calls even though we had yet to officially become their clients by signing a contract or providing a down payment. Their support was entirely in good faith, and we greatly appreciate their dedication to helping us through our difficult situation."

"This is a maintenance free deck that should last my lifetime. On the higher end of the cost scale but I didn't want wood that would need stained or painted. And I especially didn't want decking material that deteriorates after 5 years. Or discolors and gets covered in mold. Very sturdy build. Build team asked me about any issues they ran into and together we worked out a plan. Very happy with the people and the deck."

"I was extremely pleased with my project. All Pro was an unknown company to me so spending this kind of money with someone I didn't know did concern me. However, after checking the company out with the BBB and meeting Bill in person, I was confident a successfull project could be accomplished. The crew that installed my fence was professional, courteous and did the whole job in only two days. They kept me informed of their progress and schedule and clarified all project concerns prior to starting. When finished, the crew cleaned up and even stacked my surplus materials neatly under my deck. I would definitely recommend this company."

"Steve and his crew removed an aging deck and constructed a beautiful new composite deck for us. We worked together on every detail for the new deck design and he completed it as designed and with very professional detail. They were easy to work with and kept to the quoted pricing. They also cleaned up the work area at the end of each day--no mess! I highly recommend this dedicated and friendly company. MAR"

"Very pleased with STLBuildPro. Over the last year we started out with a bid on plaster repair on and older STL Hills (mother's) home - but extended the bid to include roofing and tuck pointing. So pleased with those projects we accepted another bid on our home to build a deck with overhang, and then to repair basement drywall due to water damage. Already asking for another bid from STLBuildPro on another project. The crews were excellent, took care of the property and cleaned up daily. Shout out to the staff, Felicia, Jason and Tony."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Hamel, IL

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.
