"If you want a magnificent job performance and no cutting corners then hire Carlos and his crew as I was very impressed and I’m not one to give out many compliments on workmanship but they most certainly earned it! Very thankful for them and the job they done. My daughter couldn’t be happier with her vanity and canopy bed. The workmanship really is exquisite and I look forward to working with them again in the future!!"

"I scheduled an appointment with CHS HomePro and they were a no call no show. I tried to call several times and left a voicemail. I haven?t heard back from them at all. Very unprofessional. Don?t waste your time. "

"Both Kevin, the owner, and Drew, his right hand man, are exceptionally knowledgeable and the work is outstanding. The overhanging -onto wood deck- sunroom presented a tricky redo, the build result was structurally sturdy. Kevin worked with me exploring porch design options. I decided to not pursue the screened porch but am thrilled with deck."

"Decks By Design built us an amazing pergola on our existing deck. Communication was easy from the beginning, and continued through completion of the project. We were provided a quote for the work and an estimated start date, which were both upheld and very reasonable. I would definitely use this company again, and highly recommend them to friends and family."

"Indy's Best Exteriors, Inc. (IBE) recently replaced an old rotting treated wood deck at our daughters home and did a superb job in a timely manner. IBE owner, Shane Diebel was proactive in providing a reasonable comprehensive estimate with appropriate contingencies, no-cost post-installation repair guarantee, and a projected start date. Extensive deterioration of the original hidden support footings was found upon demolition of the original deck that required additional material and labor to correct. This extra effort was provided for a reasonable charge as detailed in the original contract. The IBE crew completed the deck construction in three days, hauled away the demolition debris, and left the work site clean and in order. This project experience with IBE provided real value with an excellent work product at a reasonable price, responsive communication, and respect for our property. We will work with IBE for an additional project in the near future and recommend them highly."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in New Palestine, IN

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.
