"Removed old deck within a couple of hours.The new deck was installed the next day with 90 % completion. Finished product was beyond my expectations, work was performed at good time frame and crew very professional. Excellent quality of work and I would highly recommend to anyone needing concrete, deck, or fence work. New deck is 12x16 and is definitely safer than my old deck"

"Deck and Shed pros provided excellent service when they recently replaced 4 of our front porch posts. Jim came by to look at the job and provided guidance on what needed to be done to replace the porch posts. He patiently answered all of our questions. The price they quoted was reasonable. Once we signed the contract the work was scheduled without any delays. The porch posts were replaced with care and the job was done to our liking. We very much appreciate the work done by Jim’s team. His team was very detail oriented. Overall we were very happy with his work."

"Tom and his son Tommy did a fantastic job. I had an old 2 level wood deck that he re-surfaced with Azek. The challenge was that I had a relatively need vinyl handrail, that I wanted to keep. Many contractors would not do the deck without demolishing the handrails. Tom was meticulous in removing the railing and then re-assembling it after the deck was complete, with no missing or broken parts. He did many repairs to the sub-structure of the deck, including rebuilding the entire stairs, and replacing all the existing joist brackets. The finished deck looks absolutely amazing! Their workmanship is exceptional, and they cleaned up as if they were never here. From the first day, when Tom came to give us an estimate, to the finished product, it was a true pleasure to work with them. They answered all my questions, and discussed various options. Russett Deck was far and away one of the best contractors I have ever worked with, and I will highly recommend them to anyone who wants a beautiful deck."

"We needed a new walkway (or patio) to connect our front porch to the garage (to replace the original quartz stone, board, & flagstone design), a new front porch (since the boards were rotting), and we needed the EverGrain Composite Decking of our back deck power-washed and stained. Deckmaster was the only contractor who could do all three jobs, and the finished product on all three was great, and they gave us a great price. They redid the stairs on the back deck and gave us an extra step on the front porch, both of which we really like. Deckmaster was patient while we got our homeowner's association to approve the design, and they were very responsive and reasonable every step of the way. I'd definitely hire them again and highly recommend."

"Our deck was old and we were having waterflow problems, and we replaced it with a patio. It was a challenging job, because everything had to be brought in by wheelbarrow -- nothing was near a road or driveway. The crew was professional and did excellent work. We love our new patio."

"The job went great. They came out removed the old deck flooring, stairs and nails. During the project they kept the site clean of debris, nails and trash. They put down new deck flooring, provided deck trap door for water faucet access, new stairs, sanded off writing on lumber and added rail for the stairs (concrete posts for stability). They waited to stain the deck after wood had been exposed to elements and dried. The team let us know when they were coming to do work and what to expect. Their cost was reasonable and they were not like other companies that just wanted to sell and do things that were not necessary."

"Twenty years ago Fence & Deck Connection installed a long fence (about 1,000 feet) around my backyard. Twenty years later five of the hundred or so vertical posts had rotted and were sagging, and I was worried they wouldn't last another winter. When I called Fence & Deck Connection to repair the fence, I didn't even remember that they provided a lifetime warranty on it. But of their own accord they reminded me of that fact and came out and did the needed repairs. It is very rare that I have ever used a product’s warranty and never have I used one twenty years after I made a purchase. Providing that warranty and then honoring it the way they did: That was amazing service!"

"I contacted 5 other companies to replace a 27 year old wooden deck and railings. ONLY one of them showed up to provide an estimate. They were $7K MORE than FF&D for same materials. It was a replacement, not a new build. FF&D Kelsey very nicely followed up via Angies List. I ignored them for almost 3 weeks but Kelsey, kindly, without spamming me, suggested a free estimate at my convenience. I sent a terse reply thinking it would fall thru, but it didn't. Jim was beyond helpful, keeping in touch thru the HOA approval process. Within weeks they had a date for replacement and removal of old decking material. Within 2 days the work was completed without issue and we have a beautiful composite deck with vinyl railings. They did exactly what they said they would do and we're very pleased with the result."

"This is truly an amazing company! We recently hired Deck Builders, Inc to build a new deck and a 3-season room. We are very happy with the results! The team was professional, courteous, and kept us informed throughout the process. Randy Morgan started the project with us and provided design and conceptual ideas for the space, taking advantage of the natural light ultimately improving our original thoughts. Ricardo Anturiano and the work crews followed providing additional suggestions as the project unfolded to maximize utility/functionality yet keeping costs at a reasonable level. Ricardo, the owner was frequently on site and was available for any questions in person or by phone. Three things set Deck Builders, Inc apart from other builders and those we interviewed: 1. Attention to detail in all phases of our project especially in the design process, 2. Communication and schedule adherence throughout the project, 3. Reasonable cost and excellent build quality Deck Builders, Inc completed our project on time and within budget, which was greatly appreciated. The quality of their workmanship is excellent. The work crew were amazing in their skill and work ethic. We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy construction company. Thank you, Deck Builders, Inc for doing such an amazing job! - Eileen and Tom C"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Laurel, MD

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.
