"Worked with Brian in regards to replacing a 20 year old deck. Was interested in composite decking but after seeing great results from #1 lumber from previous builds I was sold. The process was very streamlined and communication from beginning to the end of the project was clear and informative. Wishing the best of luck to this business as the workmanship and quality shows in the finished product."

"I had several projects to be completed which included replacing porch posts, repainting shutters, repairing and replacing interior doors, and repairing interior walls. The contact with Six A's was great from the initial contact to the job completion. After scheduling the work and confirming the time, I was still contacted when Allen was in transit to my home. He arrived on time and immediately began working. He brought all the necessities to clean up before leaving both days. He was friendly and answered questions with out hesitation. His pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this company!"

"From the first preliminary meeting through the working out of a contract, from design (and redesign) through the execution and completion of our gorgeous new screened-in porch, we found all the Elite Exterior people to be affable, flexible, and competent. Our project was not a simple one, our yard being on a serious slope; further, they had to make special allowances and adaptations for our five pets, who range from 9 pounds to 100 pounds (!). We like it that Elite organizes the work into expert and efficient teams – in our case, one for building the deck, another for the covered porch, and a third for electric. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat."

"The crew arrived in the middle of the window of time. They demolished the rotted stairway, and built a new one that was far better than the stairway the builder had made, and were done at 4:30 that afternoon. All scrap was removed and everything went well. Great job"

"Jose Suarez repaired my deck including new boards and railings. He then pressure washed and restained the deck. All the work he did was meticulous and first class. He was easy to deal with and I have already contracted him to do a follow up project on my fence. I highly recommend him. Thanks Jose.."

"The team from Remodeling Company did a splendid job in replacing our aging and weather damaged roof. Our rep did a terrific job working with us to understand the process and in answering all our questions. The team also worked diligently to come up with a financial solution that best fit our situation and which we are most grateful for. Considering the size of our roof they were able to complete the entire process - prep, demo, underlayment, shingles, and clean up in a single day and without any difficulties or issues. All in all an excellent experience and we heartily endorse them!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Raleigh, NC

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.
