"We want to add to our earlier review. Carnhill Construction has been our go to for the past 6 years. They have dealt with a stone deck that kept leaking refuse down the facade, painted our entire house inside and out more than once, had our wood floors sanded and refinished, repaired cracks and leaks in the siding of the house, repaired a balcony. They have been very creative and innovative in coming up with fixes. As we stated earlier they are professional, reliable, consistent and their communication is immediate. We rely on them to deal with any house repair we need. They are a pleasure to work with. We would recommend them highly to anyone needing any house repairs whether a small or extensive project. "

"Just finished a full kitchen remodel with Unique Home Design & Remodeling, and if I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Working with Tal made all the difference — he was honest, organized, and clearly experienced. This was our first big home project, so we were nervous, but Tal’s steady communication and willingness to walk us through every choice really made us feel confident. The team was respectful, clean, and worked incredibly hard. One thing that stood out was their flexibility — when we made a few changes mid-project, they didn’t roll their eyes or nickel-and-dime us. Instead, they adapted and kept things moving forward. The result is a beautiful, functional kitchen that feels us. Highly recommend these guys if you want quality and peace of mind!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Millbrae, CA

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.
