"We hired Jeff and MasonWorks to replace a backyard patio and deck, as well as to replace our front steps and walkway. The end result of both projects exceeded our expectations. Jeff provided extremely helpful design ideas and recommendations for both projects, and the mason and carpentry teams executed the plans in impressive fashion. Both teams worked extremely hard, efficiently, paid attention to detail, and cleaned up at the end of each day. In short, we had an excellent experience with Jeff and his teams, are thrilled with the final result of our projects, and will not hesitate to work them again on future projects."

"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."

"Ari was great. He called me back the same day. Ari set up an appointment for us to meet. I had already met with another landscaper and he was not friendly or interested in a smaller job. I was so very happy Ari spent time with me and helped me sort out how to redo my garden, which is on a steep hill. My brick steps are beautiful and I have three eight foot flower boxes which step up. I m excited to start planting my flowers and vegetables. I would recommend Ari and I will be hiring him again for another project. Debbie Dicienzo"

"I reached out to Colonial for a quote for siding on a rental property. While inspecting home for siding, Ryan from Colonial noticed issues with the roof that were pretty bad. They gave me an excellent rate on both jobs so I hired them. Colonial remained in contact with every step of the way until job was complete. Jobs were completed in a timely, professional manner. I would highly recommend."

"We had a very large, failing retaining wall surrounding three sides of our property in Newton that required a complete replacement. I interviewed several contractors, some of whom backed out after seeing the scale of the project. Bruno and Junior Camara were the only ones who clearly had both the expertise and experience to take it on, and they also offered one of the most competitive bids. From the beginning, they were proactive and thoughtful. They collaborated directly with our structural engineer and landscaper several times to ensure the best possible solution and have provided helpful suggestions throughout the process. Both Bruno and Junior are highly responsive—available via email, phone, or text—and have even taken the time to reassure our neighbors when needed. Their crew is the hardest-working team I’ve ever seen. They start promptly at 8 a.m., typically work until around 6:30 p.m., clean up thoroughly each day, and only take a single lunch break. Beyond their work ethic,"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Lynn, 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.
