"Brian and his team were fantastic. They did high quality work. Brian’s attention to detail really made the final result amazing. We didn’t like the original layout of our primary bedroom: the closet was too small for two people and its location made the room layout awkward. Brian and his team removed the existing closet and built us a beautiful new closet on a different wall. The room looks incredible now, we love it so much. Thank you, Brian and team!"

"Please get all the details in the contract about the materials. UPDATE 1/1/24: I am writing this review with my valuable time after I was thinking a lot. I found that Wladimir Simos the owner from WS builders did not do any big job and had no work experience before like mine and I let him to practice on my project as his learning school. Which was my mistake as well. There were so many issues during the construction and after the construction completed as well. I reviewed him with good rating before expecting he would fix all the issues on timely manner but I had to beg him ten times to fix his own issues and I want other people know this and not experience what i I experienced. His plumbing and Hvac work was worse in my house. They did not pass the rough inspection in three times and the final inspection was not passed in 4 times. They were making holes and cutting the joints in the places where was against the building code. My project got delayed 4 months just because of their silly mistakes. Lot of thing that I had on my original contract was not followed. He would not put the details on contract and use whatever materials he could use to save the cost. We had contract to use the medium/standard grade materials for everything and I did not know the details of materials since it was my first project. I found that he used laminated counter top instead of granite and laminated cabinets instead of solid wood and they already started chipping within 1 year from completion. He put very small and cheap vanity in my 4 full bathroom which is only 3 feet wider. Bath tub also in very low quality. I had to make him read the contact again to make him put shower glass and install pull stairs to roof that was in contract already. After the final inspection passed and we moved to new unit; the hvac system broke in both of my new addition. It took very long to fix it after more than 5 service. There was multiple water leaking in both both units from bathroom and other surfaces as well. He put the hvac in the roof instead of that supposed to be in mechanical room in the first floor. They did not put the drain pipe in the beginning and had to cut all the walls to fix it. Also, they did not put the vents for my laundry dryer and had to cut the wall again. Moreover, they had three broken window and multiple broken screen on my windows and some of them are not even replaced yet. Its one year only now and the owner from WS builder is very mad to hear the problems from his fixing. He texts me not to bother him anymore. I just had water leak from the HVAC unit and the water tray was broken and ceiling and lights got damaged. I used someone else to fix it and spent a lot. The main entrance door had air leak and it has not been fixed yet and i am losing the heat from cold air. The siding they installed had very poor and cheapest quality. It fell more than 4 times and still about to fall. Not only this; he took money to build two shades and was very low quality foundation it collapsed and I called other contractor to fix it. He also took extra money for retail wall and did not compact the soil good and the level went down afterwards and driveway got all cracked. The fence he installed should hace cement post and he did put cement and just dig holes and installed. Also he left my land to the neighbor and moved the fence toward my land. It is more lot to explain and I would not recommend this builder if you looking for quality work and perfection."

"Mr. Doherty tolerated my "stupid questions" about the deck construction with ease. He was receptive to questions, and answered them all easily. I'm very satisfied with the quality of the deck construction. He knows what he's doing."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Maynard, 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.
