"Very Professional. Worked well with the building inspectors etc. They designed and built a dock, and a set of stairs to the side entrance of my house. They removed a cantilevered deck and replaced it with a large composite deck, which stopped water leaks into my basement. They also rebuilt and painted a small cantilevered deck. Excellent work."

"Quote Experience: I only wanted half the roof done since the smaller side of the roof was redone just 10 years ago with an expansion. Though Mark did suggest we should do the entire roof at once there was no pressure and he helped us pick a color that nearly perfectly matched the other roof. Pricing seemed fair based upon competitive quotes and they were local. 

Punctual: Mark and his team arrived when they said they would and started work on time. Better yet they actually finished the job almost a full day ahead of time.

Cleanliness: This is a stickler point for me when hiring contractors. Drives me crazy when after the first day they leave a mess and even worse if there's a mess when they are done. I did find a nail or two in the weeks after the job but nothing like the last roofing job I had done where I found debris for months. He must have gone over the yard 3 times looking for junk and nails with some kind of detector.

Overall it was a pleasant experience considering there was a dumpster in the driveway (left no marks) and banging on my roof for two days. They also used what I thought was a better underlayment and ice shield than the others were offering. Since I had leaks this was important. Would hire them again."

"Roca Construction called me back in 20 minutes and showed  up at my house in less than an hour. We talked about all the problems/projects I had in mind. He gave me ideas and listened my ideas.  We decided to break the job to 2 different  jobs and do the steps and all the cement work first. Roca and his work men showed up at my house next morning around 8 am and started working.All the  workmen are  nice, polite, hard working and easy going. They returned every morning around the same time including Saturday and Sunday to get everything done. Roca has good ideas to solve problems and surprises that come about when you fix nearly 100 year old house he also has an excellent eye for detail. He has knowledge in many areas of building and fixing which is very handy. All the work turned out super and new brick steps look great and they match well with the existing stone front wall. I will be using Roca and his work crew again."

"Cary Smith and his crew were very responsive and responsible for the week that they were here. They were always on time and they kept me abreast of any and all issues. The job was messy and tedious as it involved taking up the damaged floor on the first floor of our three story condo. They matched the flooring very well to the original flooring. In fact, we were more satisfied with the quality of the replacement flooring. Cary stuck with the original estimate and there were no cost overruns. They came and finished the job within the allotted timeframe they had originally committed to. Cary and his team were a pleasure to deal with and I would definitely use them again for any home improvement projects we may have in the future.

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Phillipsburg, 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.
