"Prayer answered! Our church was ghosted by our original contractor prior to his building a disability ramp for our rental building that he had contracted with us. Thankfully, Angi’s List connected us with NB Woodworks, LLC. Anthony responded quickly to our need. Listening to concerns of both landlord and tenant, he provided helpful logistical suggestions. He managed efficiently all aspects of the project, deciphering difficult to read architectural drawings and working with the city on our behalf to expedite permits and inspections. He kept regular communication with us regarding the project’s progress, issues, and city requirements. Anthony braved freezing weather to finish the ramp for us in a timely fashion, and we are most grateful to him, Thanks to NB Woodworks, our rental now has ADA safe access and our tenant has full use of the building space. If you seek a reliable, expert and efficient experience, definitely consider NB Woodworks for your next project, "

"It's very tough for me to hire and trust somebody to do a job at my house because I am very particular. I'm also in the industry I know how hard it it's to find a good contractor. However shortly after meeting John and his crew I could tell that John is a guy that I would feel uncomfortable to do business with. I could see he took great pride in what he was doing. My instincts were right. He did everything he said he would do and more. As a matter of fact he stopped by my house one day after finishing up another job just to check on the progress. John wasn't happy with the way something came out on the deck. Without me even having to say anything he pointed it out and said he was going to have his crew redo the work and apologized that it was going set us back 1/2 days work (at no cost to us of course) . He was very easy to deal with and more importantly listened to us, his customers. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and can't wait to use him again on our next project."

"D’s Fencing, LLC was professional. He replaced a wood stockade fence with vinyl privacy fence to be meet an existing vinyl fence. The labor went smoothly despite some pandemic shutdown delays. Mr Williams attention to detail is impeccable. He adjoined the new vinyl to the old vinyl and it looks amazing. I am highly satisfied. I would recommend highly."

"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"

"I found Battlecat in Home Advisor. I am so happy that I hired them to build my deck! The team was so professional and courteous! They spent the time helping me with all of the requirements needed from the township. They were even here in the pouring rain to take measurements so the project would stay on calendar! The building team spent the time going through all of the plans and measurements-making sure that each inch of deck was level and precise! And their price was very reasonable and quite competitive! I would highly recommend Battlecat for any home design or renovation project!! I have every intention of hiring them when Iâ m ready to renovate my bathrooms!! Thank you Battlecat team-I love my new deck!!"

"For 3 years we were looking for a company to replace our deck, and then finally found American Way. Jesus Luna and his crew built us an amazing deck, pavers around our pool with an area for plants, and then recreated the front of our home. They built us a new mailbox and added some touches that needed to be done! Everything was done with precision and very thoroughly! Jesus drew up the plans and came to our home to show us materials and designs several times before starting. We trusted his decisions and were very excited with the results!! They were neat and clean and showed up no matter the weather! I would highly recommend American Way LLC!! "

"Words cannot describe how well these guys did and everything they worked with us on. We had several small jobs and deck work. They painted our high vaulted walls and ceilings. They fixed our shower plumbing and added an acces panel for the shower. They installed a new ceiling fan. They re-faced our rotted deck and replaced several joists. Replaced both sets of stairs and set them in concrete. Amazing woodworking, professionalism, punctual, truly good people that you can actually trust. All work was done in a very timely fashion. We will definitely hire again for various projects around the house."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Howell, 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.
