"BRW Construction is fantastic. Brian and his team did an awesome job building our farmers porch. Even with all the rain days they completed the project completely on time, they even came on weekends to make up for the rain days, that’s unheard of these days. They cleaned everything up after a long days work too, they are very neat. We are so happy with our build and are looking forward to another project with them. We couldn’t be happier with the way it came out, it’s beautiful! Thank you Brian! We love the porch!"

"The team was very professional and went above and beyond by doing extra repairs not originally requested. My deck project was over a roof covered with rubber to prevent leaks in the garage. The team carefully made sure the rubber roofing was not damaged in any way. Well done. I would hire this firm for any project."

"Nate is excellent. He provided a fair price, good turnaround time and skilled work. He replaced an old deck with a brand new build and it came out great. Will definitely be hiring him again for future projects. Highly recommend!"

"When we decided to add a front porch to our home, Yann got back to us right away and met with us to go over every detail. He was prompt, transparent, and very fair with his pricing. The communication throughout the entire project was excellent. Yann is a true pro with great suggestions and a sharp eye for design. Once construction began, his team worked incredibly hard. They were respectful, skilled, and cleaned up at the end of each day. We were genuinely amazed when they continued to show up and work through rain, snow, and freezing temperatures. The finished porch is absolutely stunning! It completely transformed the look of our home, and we couldn’t be happier. Pro Warrior Painting & Construction exceeded our expectations, and we will absolutely be working with Yann and his crew again on future home improvements. Highly recommend!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Replacing my exterior trim turned into a larger project as problems arose as the old trim was removed. James and his crew repaired anything and everything that hindered the initial job they were hired for. No question I would hire them again. Courtesy is at the forefront of how they work."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Salem, NH

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.
