"We had Green Shield install our new composite deck this summer. The crew was absolutely outstanding! I had a lot of questions and concerns and they were always happy to answer or talk things over with me. Our deck is exactly what we wanted and we couldn't be happier with the results!"

"Chris and his team were wondeful to work with. Chris thoroughly explained all of our options and made us feel confident in our selection. He even drew us a sketch of the new porch design, which really helped us to visualize the final product. The deck turned out better than we could have possibly imagined. We ended up going with Westbury powdered coated aluminum railing and Trex Composite. We are absolutely thrilled with our new deck and couldn't be happier with the experience! I am already thinking of my next projects to do with Vibe Construction. I would recommend them to anyone looking for top notch service at a competitive price."

"Four Corners put in about 200 feet of fence to replace a ratty old wire fence to keep our sheep in. They did a fantastic job, we get compliments from neighbors on how good it looks. And they did it quickly and at very competitive price. Also did a friend of our’s deck, which was a tricky build and they did an amazing job with that too. Great crew, highly recommended."

"We had our house and pole barn roofs replaced. Our experience with BR Roofing could not have been better. From the first phone call throughout the project BR Roofing was helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. They completed the job in one day and did an amazing job. The crew was efficient, considerate and very professional. The crew cleaned up very well. The next day a different crew came to complete the clean up and check the work. The owners were involved and on site a couple of times. Gus came later in the week to check to see if we had any concerns and again to inspect the clean up. He again contacted us the next week just to make sure we were happy with the job that was done. We are super pleased with the appearance of our buildings! I highly recommend BR Roofing!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Grand Rapids, MI

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.
