Customers say: True professional

"This father and son team are masters at their craft. I'm extremely pleased with my new (elevated from our sloped ground) 100 sq. feet ipe (floor) and cedar handrailing deck; it makes our entry look very upscale. I had 2 other estimates and these guys were by far the least expensive. I liked the owner, John's, attention to detail in his initial estimate visit, and it definitely shows in his work. There is not a sloppy angle or miscut in the entire deck; it looks very professional and meticulously done. I can't stop staring at it, it's so beautiful. Not only did the job get done in 2.5 days, they cleaned up the site every day and took every scrap of debris with them at the end. I also asked them to integrate a narrow, unattractive support beam and rain spout support that runs from the roof down to the sloped ground into the railing design and to wrap it in some boards to give it a more substantial, craftsman look. Boy, did they do a great job. It looks like the beam and deck was designed that way from the very beginning. If I had to complain about anything, it's that it took a while for them to finally do the job (about 3 months), as they are so booked up (understandably so)! I will definitely use them again, once our back deck wears out."

"I am glad I went with Paul, a very quiet person who undersells his ability. Everything went as planned and we now have a great two level TimberTech Advanced PVC deck! Highly recommend Paul and Sokol Construction. Thanks Paul, for a great deck completed on time."

We hired a crane to remove a hot tub and to put it back on the new deck.

"Prompt estimate was within my budget. They were ready to start right away. They work fast to get old shingles off (three layers) had to replace some plywood and 2x8's.They worked in the rain until it turned into hail. Nice people, neat and organized. They were careful with my possessions. I'd hire them again."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Kalama, WA

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.
