"We had wanted to add a deck to our home for years. We finally were in a place to do it this year. We chose Deck Guardian and we couldn’t be happier. Every step of the process was painless, and the staff we dealt with were amazing. The first person we dealt with, Ian, came preppy and made suggestions for what our deck could look like. He thoroughly explained the process. Once all the permits had been received, building began and we were so blessed to have Roberto and Antonio as our builders. Their work was impeccable. The result was we have a deck that was entirely worth the wait. It is beautiful, solidly built, and the envy of our neighbors. In short, we couldn’t be happier or recommend Deck Guardian highly enough."

"Great workmanship! Very knowledgeable about installing a wide plank pine floor in our weekend home. Had the right tools for the job. Was willing to answer questions about the process and was willing to make suggestions for a better look and install. Worked with a plan that we reviewed before work started and again about half way through. Mine was a small job and the attention to detail was great. I would recommend NB Woodworks for a small job to renovations to a new build!"

"There arenâ t enough compliments we can give the John Millett Construction LLC. We had contacted Angiâ s list requesting quotes from construction companies that would rebuild our front porch. John Millett reached out to us and with a very reassuring voice said he would be out the next day to give us an estimate. We had previously interviewed six other companies and gasped at the ridiculousness of their estimates. We knew we were being taken advantage of and knew they were cutting corners with the materials they wanted to use. When John came to access our porch and give us his estimate, his Build/Improvement Proposal, we knew he was being extremely fair in his pricing and knew of the quality of the materials he guaranteed us he would use. We were grateful we had interviewed and received six other proposals because now we knew Johnâ s was fair and honest. We hired him on the spot and gave a deposit to secure the contract. John promised us a starting date but knew our porch was in dire need of restoration and he knew our apprehension in getting the porch done as soon as possible so he graciously agreed to start our job a week ahead of schedule. John and his crew of men, Toby, Alex, Oliver, Thomas and Eric were the most respectful work crew we have ever met. They always arrived on time and were extremely neat, polite and respectful of our neighborâ s properties and our property. John kept his word on every aspect of our rebuilding. He helped us pick out the right color for our flooring which basically set the tone of the entire porch. We discussed all different options for the columns and railings, John always offering the best way to go about it to make it look the most beautiful. On a daily basis he would keep us informed as to what was going to be done that day and the next, He and his entire team are skilled craftsmen, artisans and meticulous with every aspect of woodworking and painting. They worked from 8 am till 5 pm completely cleaning up after each day. They were super friendly, extremely kind, fun to get to know and very proud as they should be of their work. If something wasnâ t â just rightâ which was very rare, we were reassured it would be made perfect and it was. We now have an absolutely beautiful front porch. John did not cut corners as the other builders had proposed and it shows. Itâ s all the little meticulous touches John and the team did that makes our front porch the envy of all our neighbors. The end result is even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. We wish we had more projects right now so that we could hire John Millett again. We donâ t at the moment but rest assured his number is on speed dial in my phone. It was an absolute pleasure hiring John and I encourage anyone who needs any type of remodeling, building, home improvements to not hesitate to use the John Millett Construction Company. Besides their expertise and knowledge of what is needed to make your home look beautiful, using quality materials, and being fair and honest from day one till completion, you will hire a great bunch of men who truly work laboriously to please their customer. We couldnâ t be happier with our beautiful new porch . Thank you John, Toby, Alex, Oliver, Thomas and Eric. Weâ re going to miss our coffee breaks!"

"D’s Fencing, LLC was professional. He replaced a wood stockade fence with vinyl privacy fence to be meet an existing vinyl fence. The labor went smoothly despite some pandemic shutdown delays. Mr Williams attention to detail is impeccable. He adjoined the new vinyl to the old vinyl and it looks amazing. I am highly satisfied. I would recommend highly."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in New Brunswick, NJ

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.
