Deck or porch build or replacers in Ipswich
Hello, I am James Gibbs, sole proprietor of JG Carpentry. I have been building, repairing and renovating homes in Essex county for over 30 years. My primary goal is to satisfy my customer's needs and budget. I work alone, so I only take on smaller jobs as this allows me to focus on getting things done quickly and efficiently. I hold an unrestricted Construction Supervisor's License and Home Improvement Contractor license in MA and am fully insured. I am experienced in all aspects of residential construction, specializing in interior remodeling and custom built-in installation. I am willing to work with older homes, repairing ill-fitting doors and windows, squeaky stairs and floors, etc. I spent 6 years as a construction foreman in the film industry, and am always willing to take on creative or unusual projects. All my work is done in accordance with local building laws, and all jobs must have a contract signed by both parties before work can begin. No plumbing or electrical work.
"James had to remove some sections of rotten wood at the front entrance first and replace with new material before he could remove an old storm door and replace it with a new full view storm door with new hardware. The front entrance looks great and works great. I will call James for any work I have in and around my house as he does excellent work."

"Outstanding company from the sales person to the project manager to the very competent roofers. The estimate to replace my roof was not the highest or the lowest but was realistic. I was in constant contact with various personnel who kept me informed about the project. On installation day, the crew of 8 roofers began work at 7:30am and finished at 2:30pm. All waste was cleaned up and placed in the dumpster. Overall, a great company to consider when replacing your roof."

"Ricardo was the first to respond and bid on our project that involved removal of a small front entrance deck with a more spacious one, to include an overhanging roof. His bid was the best and we thought very reasonable. He patiently helped us through the red tape with our town Zoning and Conservation boards; a lengthy process. We signed a contract on 9/28/24 but only started on 12/26/24 due to the above process."

Deck or porch build or replaces FAQs
If you notice visible damage like holes, split boards, or termite damage, structural issues such as rot, mold, warping, or damaged support posts, or safety concerns like loose railings or rusting hardware, it might be time for a new deck. Upgrading your deck enhances your outdoor living space, increases your property's value, and improves safety for your family.
Building a rooftop deck costs between $25,000 and $50,000 , depending on structural enhancements, materials, and labor. While the upfront cost is higher, rooftop decks offer excellent ROI, potentially recouping your entire investment.
Deck repairs cost between $800 and $3,500. When your deck shows signs of damage, such as loose boards, weakened railings, or mold, the repair costs fall within that range. The expense is determined by the severity of the damage, the decking material, and the labor charges in your area. Immediate repairs keep the structure safe, prolong the deck’s lifespan, and protect your property's value.
Composite decking is more expensive than wood because it is engineered for durability and low maintenance. Unlike wood, composite materials resist rot, fading, and warping, eliminating the need for regular staining or sealing. The manufacturing process and high-quality materials contribute to the higher price. Over time, composite decking saves money on maintenance and replacement, making it a cost-effective investment.
Composite decking delivers outstanding durability and significantly lower maintenance requirements than wood. Its materials resist rotting, fading, and warping even under harsh weather conditions. The high-performance construction negates the need for frequent staining or sealing, ensuring long-term structural integrity and a consistently attractive appearance for your outdoor living space.
Adding a deck increases your home’s value by creating an enhanced outdoor living space that appeals to buyers and improves overall property aesthetics. Installing a wooden deck can offer up to a 52% ROI, while composite decks deliver around a 40% return. The value boost depends on the deck’s size, material, design, and upkeep, making it a smart, long-term investment.
