"We needed to replace a patch of our living room ceiling due to damage from a water leak upstairs. We contacted C&B, who responded and quoted us a price quickly. The price was fair for a multi-day job, they got it done within a week, and they even helped us repaint the ceiling. Very professional, courteous, and trustworthy. We'd strongly recommend!"

"Having a roof replaced is a major investment in your property. Before spending that kind of money, my wife and I wanted to know the job would be done right. We chose Xterior Solutions because we had used them in the past to replace a door and window and we were very pleased with the quality of their work on that job. Their price was lower than I expected, but of course, it's still a lot of money. Nevertheless, I can tell you from my own experience that if you hire these folks, the job will be done right and they will stand behind it. Karen Collum who came out to do the estimate was courteous and professional, but also friendly and genuine. I got a good impression from her. She didn't come across as someone trying to sell you something, but rather as someone trying to help you by showing you the options, explaining things, and letting you decide. I really like this kind of low-pressure approach. She was very efficient in her communication. I had the estimate back to look over within 24 hours. We got a break when an opening in their schedule meant they could do the job a couple weeks earlier than expected. On the day of the job, the crew rolled out of their vehicles and got right to work. I mean immediately. There was no standing around waiting to be told what to do. They all knew their jobs and worked together like a well-oiled machine. It was impressive. Some of the credit for that has to go to Manny, the crew chief. He and the entire crew exceeded expectations. They were also polite and friendly. The project manager, Steve Bohn, is an excellent communicator. He was friendly and pleasant to deal with. He explained the job clearly and answered all my questions. He took the time to explain not only what they were doing, but why. It was nice to be treated with respect. The materials arrived within a few minutes of the crew. Shortly after that truck left, the dumpster arrived to collect the demolition debris. It ran like clockwork, thanks to Steve. The job went smoothly and surprisingly fast. Within two hours my old roof was gone and the weak roof sections were being replaced with new wood. Everyone just kept moving. The new roof started to go on as soon as the old one was removed. I was exhausted just watching them. These guys had obviously done this many times before. By the end of the day I had an entirely new roof, in fact better than the old one because of the new ridge vent and higher quality materials than the original. My wife wanted me to mention how pleased she was with the clean-up after the job. The crew spent close to an hour carefully circling the house and yard picking up any stray materials. They even went back and forth across the lawn with a rolling magnet to pick up any loose nails. By the time they left, it was as if they had never been here, except that I had a brand-new roof with a lifetime guarantee. Nothing on the property was damaged. In fact they left my front porch and back deck cleaner than they had been before the job. The very next day, we had a thunderstorm, a real downpour. It was a treat to listen to the rain rolling off my new roof and down my clean gutters. I would recommend Xterior Solutions to anyone considering having their roof done. Yes, it's expensive, no matter who does the job, but it's money well-spent when you know the job was done right with high quality materials. Someday, when we decide to sell our house, the roof will be one of the positive selling-points. And in the meantime, we will enjoy the peace of mind in knowing our home is protected from the weather for as long as we live here. D.L.S. Hyde Park, NY August 2020"

"Cesar Losada owner of Four Seasons Enterprises is the best contractor I ve ever worked with. He is reliable and was willing to work with us, including many changes we decided on as the project progressed. He is a craftsman and his work is not like anything I ve seen. We had or outside deck enclosed and had an additional outside deck added. When we were deciding on what we wanted done Cesar walked with me through our Condo development and looked at other enclosure that had been done. When we had finished, he asked which one liked best. When I told him, he said no, you re going to like the one I build the best . He wasn t lying. All our neighbors agree that he did a beautiful job."

"Milton repaired and repainted my aging deck and brought it back to code. He also fully replaced my roof and fixed the leaks around the chimney. His prices are fair and the work was done with quality and on time. He is fully licensed and insured and is a pleasure to work with with great work ethics and exceptionally nice personality. I will definitely hire him for my future projects"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in New Milford, CT

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.
