"REVIEW OF VERIA CONSTRUCTION WORK For Home Advisor I needed decks and verandah replacements prior to placing my home in the real-estate market for sale. New decks and railings were seen as a way to prevent difficulty in selling and to even enhance the sale price of the home. After selecting four possible contractors on Home Advisor, only one (Veria Construction of San Diego) reacted. Within two days of announcing I would entertain quotes, Greg Gianosopolos, the owner of Veria Construction, visited my home to assess the tasks and provide a quote. I had a limit on the amount I would pay for the work. The job entailed removal and replacement of two outside, second-floor decks. As well, there were two verandahs on my home each of which had a railing that should match the railings on the decks. Veria Construction was the only quote/reply I received through Home Advisor. Since its proposal was only a few hundred dollars above my uninformed estimate, I accepted the proposal. I did not micromanage the work. I let Greg G. select the deck design and how it would be constructed. The vague instruction I offered was to make the new construction fit in with the existing home design. Allowing Veria Construction free reign on completing the work was a sound decision. I found that Greg G. was notably honorable in his work and was driven to produce end-products with which he and I would be both pleased and proud. The demolition and construction proceeded at an admirable speed. It eventually took longer than the initial time-estimate provided in Veria Construction's proposal. Work started two weeks after the first contact through Home Advisor. The peak workforce on our property consisted of three assistants/laborers and Greg G. All were particularly courteous and responsible in the few interactions I had with them. Their work was highly skilled and indicative of first-rate craftsmen. The type of work and design selected by Greg G. was a marvelous match for my home. In comparison to my previous decks, the new ones were particularly sturdy and the materials used were of the highest quality. Although the work carried out was during a typical San Diego heat-wave, that did not alter the quality of the constructions although I was concerned about any toll the excessive heat might have had on the workers. The major results of Veria Construction's additions and modifications to my home were: 1. The additions have enhanced the value of my home, which will be reflected in the sale price once it goes on the market. 2. The quality of work was of such a high standard that I have no need to do follow-up work on my own. 3. Normally, I would expect myself to monitor the work when having construction done on my home. However, Greg G. and his assistants/laborers were so trustworthy and responsible that I had no need for anxiety at any time they were on my property and involved with the construction. 4. I have no hesitation in recommending Veria Construction for any home additions and alterations. Indeed, they will be my priority for any work on a home I or my family members might have in the future. 5. I cannot relate any negative occurrence with Veria Construction. I am left with deep gratitude and admiration for the work completed on my current home and can only wish that other home-owners might experience the ultimate satisfaction that I had as the project described on Home Advisor was completed. Without any reservations, I recommend to any home owner that they seriously consider Veria Construction of San Diego for any home rebuilds or modifications in the area. I am grateful to Greg G. for his contribution to my absolute satisfaction with this project. Respectfully submitted, Brent S Rushall"

"Royalty design & build is a top-notch company that pride itself on customer service. They did 2 of my bathrooms and we loved the results. The process was facilitated smoothly by Gabi and Lavi who were very patient and extremely helpful when we were feeling indecisive. The project was on time and on budget. It was our first major remodel, and we would use Royalty design & build again without hesitation."

"We recently had Bentov Builders complete a deck and pergola project for us, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Ben, the owner and project manager, was great to work with from start to finish. He kept everything organized, communicated clearly, and made sure we always knew what was going on. That alone made the whole process feel a lot less stressful. The crew was professional, showed up on time, and paid attention to the details. The deck looks amazing, and the pergola really transformed our backyard into a space we actually want to spend time in. If you’re in San Diego and looking for a reliable contractor, I’d definitely recommend Bentov Builders. — Mark "

"Evo did a great job with the install of turf around our pool as well as the surrounding areas! I highly recommend them. They are punctual, do the services they say they will do, and clean up the job site to perfection. They are diligent and answer any questions you have. We worked with Michael and his team was top notch!"

"The work performed was to build an area to house our above the ground SPA. It required a lot of planning, color selection, and manpower to remove dirt and sod. The original plan was changed several times, with no complaints. Chris Spenser and his crew provided up-to-date status regarding the job as well as the completion date. This is the company that you want working on your home projects."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in National City, 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.
