"I cannot say enough good things about Valle Painting. I initially hired them to do some exterior painting (gorgeous job!). Mr. Valle showed up to inspect his team's work, we started talking about other work his company does to include decking. My old deck was apx. 30 years old and had gone 15+ years without maintenance. The structure was dirty but in good shape, but the deck surfaces were dry and rotting - and completely unsafe. Mr. Valle walked me through his vision - replace the horizontal surfaces with Trex composite, power wash the verticals and structure pieces, then stain the vertical surfaces to match the Trex. I had been pricing materials to DIY the work, but Mr. Valle's pricing was quite fair, and his service is impeccable. While purchasing the materials, he called to let me know that the color of the Trex sample we chose was slightly off of what he was seeing at the lumberyard. He was worried that it might not look as nice as I expected, and he delayed his purchase until I could take a second look. I was thankful for the call because he was right - and we ended up changing the color at the last minute. Over the course of the two days, Mr. Valle's deck team ripped out the old boards, inspected the structure, added a new joist, made some minor repairs to the structure and rails, and installed Trex on all the horizontal surfaces including the deck stairs. The next day, Mr. Valle came out himself to do the power washing of the rails and structure. The painting team came out the following two days to stain the rails, the deck posts, and the vertical trim pieces. In about a week (plan to finish), I went from having an unsafe eyesore to having a gorgeous, safe, and usable deck that looks like something out of a magazine. I've already recommended Valle Painting to friends and neighbors. And because they do so much more than painting, Valle Painting will will be first in line for some remodeling work in my near future."

"Roger and crew are first class, both in craftsmanship and personally. They added a covered porch to our house and we have had several compliments on their work. They actually had to change the plans for the project (for the better) and there was no change in the cost. I would use them again and would recommend them to others. Excellent work. Thanks guys!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Madison Heights, VA

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.
