"We were hoping to get an early start on building out a new deck overlooking our yard. Michael came out a day after reaching out to contractors and had a quote for me by the end of the week - much faster (and better value!) than the other quotes I found. Our expectations were set knowing it might be a month or so before we got materials and a completed deck, but after a week and a half they were already building! If it wasn't for some missing parts, they would have finished in less than a week! We couldn't be more happy with our new deck and have already been taking advantage of every warm day to hang out and grill. Greate job!"

"We hired Masonworks, LLC to replace our front stoop and front walkway and they did an amazing job with the project from start to finish – professional and high quality work completed in a timely manner. Very responsive to answer any questions or concerns, took care of everything from permits to clean-up, and their crew worked non-stop to get the project done to give us a beautiful new front entrance to our home. Definitely would use them again."

"When we decided to add a front porch to our home, Yann got back to us right away and met with us to go over every detail. He was prompt, transparent, and very fair with his pricing. The communication throughout the entire project was excellent. Yann is a true pro with great suggestions and a sharp eye for design. Once construction began, his team worked incredibly hard. They were respectful, skilled, and cleaned up at the end of each day. We were genuinely amazed when they continued to show up and work through rain, snow, and freezing temperatures. The finished porch is absolutely stunning! It completely transformed the look of our home, and we couldn’t be happier. Pro Warrior Painting & Construction exceeded our expectations, and we will absolutely be working with Yann and his crew again on future home improvements. Highly recommend!"

"It doesn't seem to matter what type of work you need done at your house, Prudential Remodeling can do anything. I reached out to them to get a quote to remove all of the old decking and railings and replace it all with composite decking and railings. Not knowing what something like this would cost, we did get a secondary quote. Not only was their quote slightly lower than the other one we received, their quote had better products for the entire project, which in turn to me says their quote was much less than the other quote. We immediately signed the contract and got on their schedule. Kevin and a couple of his guys showed up on time and got to work right away. During the process, we added a few extra things (lattice around the entire deck, doors on either side of the deck for easy access under the deck) that we wanted done. Kevin didn't even blink an eye and immediately put together a list of things he would need to get to complete the extra work. Needless to say, the deck came out great and are super pleased with the work. Everything was done on time and the only added cost from the contract is what we added after the fact. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this company. Everything is fantastic."

"Winder Construction did a wonderful job replacing the flooring of my porch. Within one day they came out and gave me a quote and started the job the following day. They worked in near 100 degree weather. The job was completed in 2.5 days. At the end of each day they did a total clean up. I would recommend them and I would certainly call upon them in the furure."

"I needed railings, ballisters, stringers and stairs replaced on my deck. Coen’s job was perfect. They also identified to posts holding up the deck that had insect damage. I had them replace those also. They were professional and new the job. I’d use them again for other projects."

"We were really pleased with DiOrio's work. We needed a storage platform built in our attic to make room for new insulation. We were concerned a carpenter wouldn't take such a small job so also decided to ask to replace some damaged siding we had here and there around the house. I called DiOrio, and they agreed to come out that week. I had assumed I'd have to make a lot of calls to get someone to come out in the timeframe we needed, so was really happy there. DiOrio was upfront that taking off siding could reveal some underlying damage to the house, which happened to be the case for us. The job went from a $3K estimate to an actual cost of $12K given the extent of the damage. While the cost increase was overwhelming, DiOrio seemed to really know what they were doing. Everything appeared to be done in a high-quality and detailed way, and they communicated with us throughout the process. They were also able to finish the work in a timely way and not keep us hanging on for weeks or months. We're planning to have them back in the spring to check for damage under some additional areas of siding."

"Edison and his crew were terrific and we couldn't be happier with the results. He was professional, responsive and even when they encountered some challenges with the gradation of the ground itself to install our fence they came up with a creative solution. I would reccomend Edison and his company for your home project and we plan on using him in the future for others. Thanks Edison!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Lawrence, MA

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.
