"We had wanted to add a deck to our home for years. We finally were in a place to do it this year. We chose Deck Guardian and we couldn’t be happier. Every step of the process was painless, and the staff we dealt with were amazing. The first person we dealt with, Ian, came preppy and made suggestions for what our deck could look like. He thoroughly explained the process. Once all the permits had been received, building began and we were so blessed to have Roberto and Antonio as our builders. Their work was impeccable. The result was we have a deck that was entirely worth the wait. It is beautiful, solidly built, and the envy of our neighbors. In short, we couldn’t be happier or recommend Deck Guardian highly enough."

"I had been working on finding the right contractor and company to build our back porch for months after working with two contractors that were total disappointment. I found Tito and Sons on home advisor. Tito and his crew were able to establish the permit in three weeks - we waited on this same permit application for almost 9 months with another company without the result we wanted Tito kept me updated, informed, and every step of the project he let me know what was going on in my backyard His crew could not have been nicer or more hard working. I swear they were out there In 100 degree heat. The back porch that they completed surpassed all of our expectations and more. I had so many questions all the time and Tito was patient, explanatory, and courteous We now have the back porch we have been hoping for and can enjoy the rest of summer and all of the seasons to come in this house thanks to them! Call Tito and sons of you want to get the job completed, On time, with the right price, friendly people, and quality work. We will use them again. Above all the genuine disposition and willingness to satisfy the client is unparalleled here. Celeste Shaughnessy Westfield"

"Don and his entire crew at D&S are amazing! I would rate them 10 stars if I could. Don and Isaac came up with a beautiful design for our new front porch, walkway and landscaping and delivered on everything they said they would. Everyone on the crew worked so hard and we couldn’t believe how quickly they got the job done. It turned out even more amazing then we ever imagined. My husband and I could not be happier. D&S also takes care of our regular lawn maintenance and they do a fabulous job every week with that as well."

"We hired John at American Home Remodeling, Inc., to renovate our first floor bathroom. My wife and I were finally ready to pull the plug on a renovation but were nervous with the process. John made it easy, and made sure to go over every fine detail as well as assure us of the proper building permits that were going to be issued by their expeditor with the township. The job went smooth from the beginning to the end. Since we had a great experience with John and his team, we started to get quotes on our deck which was in dire need of replacement. We ended up signing with American Home Remodeling for our deck replacement, and could not have been happier to do so. We finally get to enjoy our deck for the remainder of the spring and also for the summer. Thank you John for a job well done."

"We had a wall installed in the front. All trees and shrubs were trimmed. We had our patio refinished and the front walkway cleaned and edging all the property. Seven plants were planted. They were here for three days. I highly recommend this company for the fine employees that did this job. It was expensive but their is no price on excellent works"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Highland Park, 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.
