"Excellent! Lucas and Tiago are very nice, hardworking, honest men who know their job. They did a great job replacing rotted wood on my deck, and on my garage. Their prices are reasonable and they are on time. Not only would I hire them again, I AM hiring them again for another job I have that needs to be done."

"Jeff was referred to us by our neighbors to install new decks for us. The experience was great from day one. Jeff and his crew were very easy to work with and the quality of their work was superior! They completed the job on time, cleaned up well every day before they left and the decks are beautiful, better than we ever imagined. Jeff is a very talented guy, great employees and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend them!"

"An â A+â is what I would give Claudio Macedo (of Coastal Counters and Cabinets). He and his crew not only beautifully power-washed my old Bristol Cape, they replaced old shutters, and cleaned and repaired gutters â and did it in a timely way, at reasonable and honest cost. Best of all were the clear and thoughtful updates and communications. My recent contact with other contractors has been frustrating not only in their delays, but in their failure to be initiating, informative, or honest about reports and updates. Claudio was a breath of fresh air. He not only kept me informed in his emails but he also sent pictures of his crewâ s work. I know that he and his company do more than just those outside tasks and he/they will be at the top of my list as the future â go-to folksâ for other work."

Capital was on time, fast in completing, professional interactions..checking in often with schedule update, responsive and skilled. And...just nice people who genuinely cared about the quality of the work as well. Totally recommend."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Newport, RI

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.
