"Ryan does great work, we love our decks! We bought a house that needed some work including a large deck in the back of the house. It was 30 years old and not safe to use so he took it down completely and built us a new one. We love spending time outside on it. Since he did such a good job there, we also asked him to do the front entrance deck and what a difference it has made in our curb appeal. He is thorough and patient and takes care in his work and it shows. He’s also just a nice guy. We really enjoy working with Ryan and will continue to do so in the years to come. Highly recommended!"

"Unequal others I've interviewed, Dan immediately connected with my vision on how I wanted my home to be to my liking. He's gone above and beyond that, hence, all of my needs are met with proper direction and coaching to his workers. This compliment will surpass any other contractors in my future projects. In fact, I'm keeping him for additions and renovations in the future. You want the best? Look no further. He represents his name for what homeowners need. HANDS DOWN P.S. I'm showing finish results pictures first, before is proceeding, I'm not good at picture editing. "

"Worst company I have ever worked with. Substandard workmanship along with substandard products. Was sold one product and a different product was put on my deck. Beware do not use this company."

"We hired Seaside Painting, owned and operated by Rob Robinson, to paint our two decks and two sets of stairs. Rob quoted us “a four day job.” We were impressed with his proposed process of sinking nails, cleaning, sanding, sealing, and two coats of deck paint. We understood and expected weather delays. The job started August 30 and never ended. Well, we ended it on September 17. We had had enough of lack of communication and responses to calls and texts, no shows, poor attitude, and rudeness. When he picked up his ladders and final check, he said to my husband, “You are the crazy man who covered the deck and expected me to paint the next day.” Before the hurricane/rain storm, we covered all the rails that he had sanded and left open and unsealed in an effort to reduce the wood from swelling and from taking a longer time to dry out. On September 13, we texted him asking if he or his crew would be coming to work. While we waited, we spent four hours finishing the painting of the front stairs and rails ourselves. Three days later he responded. By that time we had had enough and told him to pick up his ladders and that we would finish the work ourselves, split the final payment with him which we thought was more than fair. This time he immediately responded and threatened to have his attorney put a lien on our home unless we paid $150 more than we offered. Bottom line: what his contract states as his work ethics, “open and honest communication,” his “proven process” for decks, is unfounded. To his credit, a day after he picked up his ladders and final check, he did apologize via text and mentioned that his company “went bad” and that he “should have been able to finish on time.”"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Quaker Hill, 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.
