"Contractor has very limited personal knowledge of common construction skills -- he personally couldn't do any of the work correctly. I had to find construction solutions for things that were not going to work -- I'm the daughter of a deceased home-building contractor. Among other things, this involved finding kitchen-exhaust solutions (which would be hidden from sight) when the original proposal would produce a hideous jerry-rigged solution which probably wouldn't have met Code. His attitude was, it's not my problem -- I would just have to live with it. He uses limited-skilled people who poorly understand English. He is rarely on the job. I couldn't communicate with his workers. Contractor doesn't pay his subcontractors (owed in the $1000s) nor businesses for $1000 project-purchases. Delightful to be called up by a business to pay for something I had already paid him for and could prove I had. Multiple weeks went by and I didn't see him or his people -- he wasn't reachable either. He was supposed to complete the work (which was partially complete when he started) in 2 months. Seven months later he wasn't even close to completing the work and had totally screwed up the staining and hanging of the interior doors. I made him take them down and remove them from the house -- no way they could have been salvaged. Thanksgiving and Christmas were eminent -- I was expecting company. For several weeks he had performed no work. He just stopped by, in a hurry he said, to give me an invoice for work completed. He made a fool of me, oh so slickly, by saying that he wouldn't do any more work unless I paid him right now and by distracting me with discussing when the work would be done. He gave me no no time to look at the entire, detailed ~ 6-page invoice -- amount on top sheet looked correct. At this point, I considered him lacking in construction knowledge and undependable but not dishonest. Well, he's all of those things! I had to rewrite my check to include the back sheet where it turned out he charged me for twice the number of hours + twice the amount of his overhead + some other things that made no sense. Can I prove it? You bet I can! I called him on it; but he had already cashed the check. He ignored me. No way was it a typo. I'm talking detailed, full-page, item listings which did ultimately take me an hour to go through checking my records against what he claimed. He was owed about $5000; he got about $10,000. His references? With him along, we visited his one in-town reference before we hired him. She and her husband gave him a glowing reference. The work was attractive and well done -- completed about 3-4 years earlier. Today that's ~ 8 years ago. Bet he's still using them."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Los Alamos, NM

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.
