"Al’s Home Improvements did an absolutely outstanding job on our large 22 year-old deck. They replaced the surface, base and railings and added beautiful lighting and a privacy wall. From the very first estimate through project completion the process was smooth and stress-free. Communication was excellent every step of the way. The crew was polite, respectful, and professional, and they even finish the job ahead of schedule while staying exactly on budget. The quality of their work is truly exceptional. You can tell they are true craftsman who take pride in what they do. We couldn’t be happier with the results and give Al’s Home Improvements And Decks a rating of 5 stars without hesitation!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Chris and his crew were amazing! We had started the project on our own, but it became more than we could handle. These guys stepped in and brought our already started vision to life. Chris communicated every step of the way and was very responsive to questions, etc. I was very impressed with their work ethic (even working on Saturdays and Sundays) and craftsmanship. I absolutely LOVE my new deck! I would highly recommend these guys for future jobs! "

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Lancaster, PA

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.
