"Moabe and his crew not only painted our front porch and back upper deck but also our shutters, doors and garage doors. They were very polite, ontime every day, kept us informed on where the project stood and cleaned up before they left. I would definitely recommend their services."

"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."

"Ocean Break Remodel started our renovations in the Fall of 2020. Peter and his crew tore down our existing front porch and steps and replaced it with a new construction with trex decking and vinyl railings and posts. Their work was outstanding. Later that Fall they removed our hot tub in our master bathroom and replaced it with a beautiful fully tiled walk in shower. It came out wonderful. They also put down waterproof vinyl flooring in both of our bathrooms. They installed backsplash on the two long walls of our kitchen. Each task - OUTSTANDING work. This past two weeks (June 2021), they painted our utility room, kitchen ad dining room, put new waterproof vinyl flooring in the kitchen and utility room. This past two weeks they also built us a new deck (20' x 25') of gray trex decking with white vinyl railings and posts. Our new deck is fantastic. We are more, more than totally satisfied with Peter of Ocean Break Construction/Remodel. I can not express enough for Peter and his crew. They are a pleasure to work with, they are very punctual, clean and hard working."

"Jeff and his whole crew from Cedar Coast Construction did an absolutely AMAZING job on a new composite deck build for our home in Barrington. His team was thorough and courteous, and an absolute joy to be around. I'm a picky customer, and he took the time to understand exactly my vision. When he wasn't sure of what design choice to make, he didn't assume, he asked me. That impressed me the most. Many contractors just make decisions without consulting the homeowner, and that can be so frustrating. The team did such an amazing job, we have them coming back for more projects at our home. Thank you, Cedar Coast Construction! We are grateful for your hard work, and have received many compliments on your job well done. Bravo!"

"Our kitchen changed from a choppy, poor design to one that puts a smile on my face. Our ideas were developed and refined by working together. A new design opened up space and created organization. The project was completed on time, in budget and exceeded our expectations. The team was fantastic and are true experts who deliver."

"Herb did a great job. His responses were always timely and clear. He properly diagnosed and fixed issues that others either did not understand or did not take the time to do right. The price was very fair, and the quality was excellent. I hope to work with him again in the future."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Portsmouth, 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.
