"Really pleased with my new deck. The work was completed quickly and looks amazing. I wish they'd removed the leftover building materials but that's a minor thing. Definitely recommend"

"The Cahoons did an outstanding job on our deck to three season room conversion . They were excellent in planning the project, meticulous in the finishes and very detail oriented in all aspects of the job. They paid close attention to the little things : all trash was promptly cleared and cleaned up, they vacuumed and washed up dust, dirt, tile and saw dust, the workers were polite and professional and had a small footprint while at our residence: they kept us informed of what they were doing, how they would do it, when they would do it, etc. No loud music and no bad language either. We would definitely recommend these people for their work and their professionalism to anyone needing remodeling or home repair services."

"The painting was fine. The guy that he sent out wasn't very professional. At the end of the day he said that he probably wasn't going to be able to finish the job in the time available. We left and when we came back, he was still here. He was swimming in our swimming pool. We certainly would never use them again. If he quit using that particular painter it would probably be OK. It wasn't the owner that came out. The price was great. The painting itself was very good, it was the professionalism of the worker he sent out. When he came back the next day they were going to charge me for every hour that he was here. The guy was supposed to finish it that day and couldn't. Mr. Harris called me and said that he wouldn't charge me to finish the job. The guy came out and finished the job. I would not call them again myself."

"Peter Mountzoures of all trades I really like utilizing the service of Peter because he is one of the few contractors that I felt confident in performing the work on my late parents’ home without me following up right away. In addition, Peter replaced two windows that were on the second floor with ease, razed an old building, replaced the roof on the main dwelling, and plowed my late parent’s driveway when I requested. Peter is trustworthy and very professional. I highly recommend employing Peter’s services."

"I am still amazed when I walk out on the new deck it beautiful and solid as a rock!  After a 4 year disaster with a previous deck experience, I finally decided to try again and had numerous estimates in the last year.  When Brian came out looked at the existing deck and told me what needed to be done and how he would do it.  I knew he was knowledgeable and he knew what he was doing. 
During the project he ran in to some unforeseen and unusually construction idiocracies with the house during the project he adapted and adjusted without a hitch.  The new deck is wonderful and you could drive a truck on it.  My husband is over 250lbs and it doesn't move when he walks or plops down in a chair. 
Brian was here when he said he would be.  He kept us informed about what was going on, and cleaned up before he left.  The details that went into the deck were beyond what I had expected which is always a delight.  Edges were routed, corners smoothed.  A hand rail was installed on the stairs (which have nice wide treads).  Cement for the footings was mixed onsite rather than the cement being poured in the hole and adding water from a hose.
I was/am thrilled with the whole project and will use B&M for future projects.  Oh, did I tell you I was happy with the deck?"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Old Mystic, 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.
