"Andrew did several jobs for us replacing our shadow box pine wood fence, he fixed our cement slab on our porch, gave us new sturdy wooden supports, and replaced 2 stone walls on either side of our porch. He replaced our old wood deck with a beautiful timber tech deck and railing. He added stairs to the deck and poured a cement slab at the base of the stairs. He also poured a new cement slab for our pool filter. He helped us to add an outside electrical line for our pool filter. He was a hard worker and everything turned out beautifully. We get a lot of compliments on our fence, deck and porch."

"Don Schurer and his son Jordon did an amazing job on our new deck. He was willing to work with me with any changes that came about. Don is very professional and was very kind and empathetic as I had lost my husband right after we had made the plans to have a new deck built. My daughters have said ?Dad would really love it? and I know he would. We love our new deck now and can?t wait until spring when we can really enjoy it. For now we will enjoy as many fall nights as possible. Don will be installing a new sliding door for our deck in a week or 2 and adding gates to keep our Puggle and the grandbabies safe. Can?t wait to see that finished. I really trust his work and would not call anyone else for these projects. Thank you Don and Jordon."

"Daniel removed an old wooden deck, eight feet from the ground, and built an entirely new composite deck system. Deck was permitted through the McCandless Township. Daniel performed every phase of this project - not a small task as the dimensions are 30ft X 13ft, elevated, with one stairway. Daniel was timely, efficient, meticulous in detail, and performed every element of the agreed upon contract. I am hiring him to perform more work as I am extremely impressed by his work ethic. I highly recommend Daniel, Cranberry Carpentry for any interior/exterior work. I made a PowerPoint presentation of this project for those who may be interested."

"We love our new deck. Itâ s not exactly how we envisioned it, itâ s even better! The quality of the work and quality of the materials are exceptional. The deck was not completed in the most timely manner, but the end product made up for all of that. We will recommend Russellâ s company to our daughter and her husband who plan to build a deck next spring."

"I am beyond thrilled with my new front porch. I am a very particular person and the entire crew kept me involved in the building process each step of the way. I was able to determine exactly how I wanted the porch to look down to the inch. No one made me feel as if I was difficult or hard to please. Instead, they confirmed to me over and over that their job was to make me happy."

"We hired John to replace and expand our deck. We knew from the first meeting with John that he was a very experienced, professional, and honest contractor. He was very easy to work with, got back to us in a timely manner with any questions or concerns, and worked within our budget. We also were extremely impressed that he himself actually did a lot of the work and was on sight most of the time with his team to oversee things! Our Trex deck could not have turned out more beautiful and we would highly recommend John for any job you need done!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Mars, PA

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.
