"This is an excellent company. I was extremely impressed with the professional attention to detail. I was especially pleased with the precise delivery of building materials and removal of old deck material as the job progressed. The workmanship is first class. They are extremely easy to work with, and they went the extra mile to make sure I received the deck I wanted. I confidently give this company my highest recommendation."

"There is really no reason to go with anyone else—Exterior Works was the lowest price, most professional, and highest quality. I thought I had to choose between the high-cost, glossy brochure, licensed & reputable companies OR the cheap, unlicensed, pushy “if you ask for inspections the cost is double” contractors. Arafat quoted a much more reasonable price, gave excellent advice to help us build what would be most useful, never pressured us, and got all the appropriate permits & inspections. We were probably fairly high-maintenance clients, and Arafat was patient and kind, describing options as we went and modifying a ‘normal’ porch set up to reduce pollen so my highly allergic husband & daughters can enjoy the space. We absolutely love our new 3-season porch and pretty much live out here now. I strongly recommend going with Exterior Works for any outdoor project you have in mind."

"This is truly an amazing company! We recently hired Deck Builders, Inc to build a new deck and a 3-season room. We are very happy with the results! The team was professional, courteous, and kept us informed throughout the process. Randy Morgan started the project with us and provided design and conceptual ideas for the space, taking advantage of the natural light ultimately improving our original thoughts. Ricardo Anturiano and the work crews followed providing additional suggestions as the project unfolded to maximize utility/functionality yet keeping costs at a reasonable level. Ricardo, the owner was frequently on site and was available for any questions in person or by phone. Three things set Deck Builders, Inc apart from other builders and those we interviewed: 1. Attention to detail in all phases of our project especially in the design process, 2. Communication and schedule adherence throughout the project, 3. Reasonable cost and excellent build quality Deck Builders, Inc completed our project on time and within budget, which was greatly appreciated. The quality of their workmanship is excellent. The work crew were amazing in their skill and work ethic. We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy construction company. Thank you, Deck Builders, Inc for doing such an amazing job! - Eileen and Tom C"

"The company was responsive and understood what I wanted without trying to up sale more expensive products. They were professionals and completed the project without needless delays, or disappearing to do other jobs. The company's owners inspected the job site regularly and addressed issues immediately eliminating needless delays and complications. Pricing is competitive and I found them to be less expensive than others I had obtained estimates from. Over all I was more than satisfied with the worked and completed project. The customer service was great (exceptional for a construction company). The were more then easy to work with. I would recommend Moore Design and will be using them again in the future."

"Five years ago Rick and his team had completed a full rehab of our deck and we love it. Recently, a material defect occurred and Rick stood by his work when the manufacturer would not. At his expense, he got new material and provided the same great carpenters, (Skip, Gary, and Heracio) as last time and made things right. I highly recommend their work and am happy to share their name with everyone who enjoys our deck. Check out the photos.Thank you again."

"We hired HD to build us a new deck with a screened in porch underneath. We couldn't be happier with the result and working with HD. The process was smooth and they were communicative throughout. The entire staff was professional and courteous to include the estimator, office staff, guys actually building the deck and the project managers that would stop by. Even the owner Graham stopped by to check on the project. This is a great family owned business and I highly recommend them!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Merrifield, 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.
