"The work was outstanding from start to finish. Memo is detail-oriented and is a great communicator. We had to do painting, repair walls, and redo floors following a burst pipe and major flooding. The work was done within two weeks. We had a general idea for what we wanted for floor and wall colors, and Memo got us the samples and then got the final product from the store to install - no extra work on our part. We also installed a new window under where the leak was, and it looks great. I would highly recommend Memo and the team (such nice guys) to anybody. "

"Anthony of All Precision Home Improvement did an excellent job at my home. He constructed a extension/dormer for an additional bathroom. He and his crew arrived early in the morning and did a maximum days work each day. Anthony was attentive to my requests and did his utmost to satisfy my specifications. The ultimate result more than met my expectations and therefore I would highly recommend All Precision Home Improvement to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient contractor."

"Eddie was great to work with! We had a limited time frame to adhere to town inspections and Eddie and his team knew exactly what we needed and quickly got the job done. The results were great and even the inspector acknowledged the impressive repair. They were able to put a knocked out garage wall back on the foundation and repair the interior dry wall. I would recommend this company for any professional contract work due to their reasonable price, ease to work with and quality of work."

"We recently had a fantastic experience with Jim / OHI. They built us a beautiful new deck and installed a patio door, and the workmanship was excellent from start to finish. When we ran into unexpected building and zoning issues with the town, they were incredibly flexible and worked with us to adjust the project. Instead of the larger deck we originally planned, they created a stunning patio in that space, which turned out even better than we imagined. The crew was professional, reliable, and detail-oriented, and the results have transformed our backyard. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend OHI to anyone considering a deck or patio project."

"DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER! Manor Home Maintenance just finished a bathroom remodel for us, and we were so unbelievably thrilled with the job that we went ahead and did our second bathroom with them as well! Rick and his team absolutely went above and beyond what we had hoped and wished for. They did complete a remodel on both bathrooms, starting by demoing down to the studs, then starting from the ground up with absolutely everything, sheetrock, plumbing, electrical, custom mosaic work, custom tile and countertops, shower, windows, vanity, painting... everything was done to perfection. We can not rave enough about Rick and his team, they are a total pleasure to deal with and we can not wait to use them again in the future. Wholeheartedly recommended!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Melville, NY

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.
