"Hired Midwest -Pros to replace a 14' x 20' deck that was pulling away from house. Ramone and his crew had old deck torn down and rebuilt new in 2 days. Did a great job. I would use again if I ever need a new deck."

"I couldn’t be happier with the cedar steps Imagine Restoration installed in my back garden. They did a great job removing the broken, rotting deck and replaced it with a custom-built set of steps that fit the space perfectly. They even accommodated wider treads for added safety, which made a real difference. They helped me get through the HOA approval with detailed plans, delivered the highest quality craftsmanship, and stuck to a budget that felt more than fair. The end result is beautiful, practical, and built to last. I’d gladly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work."

"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."

"K and his team gave me a very reasonable quote on a small siding repair and gutter cleaning job and completed the work promptly and with great attention to detail. They were willing to take on this project even though it was a smaller job without trying to upsell me on a whole new set of siding or any bells and whistles. I will certainly be reaching out to them again for my next exterior project! "

"Joe and his guys did a great job, project was completed in four weeks.  They were very considerate about cleaning and maintaining a organized job site.  All work was done to my complete satisfaction and to all relevant building codes.  One of the best aspects was the attention to detail to ensure that the basement finishes matched the rest of the house, i.e. railing, spindles and wood work are identical to the rest of the house.  All in all we were very pleased with the project and Joe's team."

"Well, the drop down menu here only gives the options for vinyl siding, awning/patio cover, and deck/porch replacement/repair. So I just picked one but actually had a new roof and gutters installed. We needed a new roof in a hurry thanks to one of the massive storms this year (spring 2026) putting 2 holes in our old roof. I surprised myself by choosing Midtown since they were the highest quote we received, but we decided in the long run they were the best value for the money because we also received several upgrades to our roof in the process. Not to mention their quote comes with a price lock guarantee and includes some work and materials not included in the quotes of their competitors, so we also felt confident we knew exactly what we were getting money-wise. They got us on the books quickly and our project was done in less than 2 weeks. We couldn't be happier!"

"Essential Extras had already designed and installed a beautiful deck for us. They used Ipe wood and hidden fasteners as we had asked. The professionalism was amazing and so was the craftmanship. After a wind storm blew down a fence in our yard in the middle of winter I called them again and not only did they do a stellar job, but took great care to respect our neighbors and cleaned up our side and the neigbor's side of the fence as well. The craftmanship again was better than expected. I would recommend them to anyone and definitely hire them for any projects I might have involving wood. Bonnie Pearson"

"I chose not to go with Decker Service Professionals after seeking bids from 2 other contractors. Their pricing was comperable and the estimator was very good to work with but what I didn't appreciate it took 6 days to provide a quote (other companies provided a quote same day or within 24 hours). Quote was not written and instead it was verbal over the phone and due to different areas of work I was asked to the math on the phone. Lastly the final price was not "set", it instead was "around xxx amount" due to some discount I was offered. Decker was aware we were under a very strict timeline and in the time it took them to get me a "quote", I already had a slightly lower bid and start date that they could not meet in the first place."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Independence, MO

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.
