"Tom built a roughly 500 sqft deck for us using Azek. About half of the deck is rectangle screened porch. The other half is slightly irregular deck. They are pretty high off the ground as shown in the picture and the stairs also curve back to the side of the house to save space. Tom and team did a great job. I get a lot of compliments from friends and neighbors I waited almost two year to write the review to make sure the build quality stands up to time and it did!"

"Twenty years ago Fence & Deck Connection installed a long fence (about 1,000 feet) around my backyard. Twenty years later five of the hundred or so vertical posts had rotted and were sagging, and I was worried they wouldn't last another winter. When I called Fence & Deck Connection to repair the fence, I didn't even remember that they provided a lifetime warranty on it. But of their own accord they reminded me of that fact and came out and did the needed repairs. It is very rare that I have ever used a product’s warranty and never have I used one twenty years after I made a purchase. Providing that warranty and then honoring it the way they did: That was amazing service!"

"Our entire experience with Fence & Deck Connection was amazing from start to finish. They were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and prompt. Our estimator (Eddie) was so thorough in explaining our options and asking us lots of questions to ensure he understood all aspects of our project and what we were looking for. This experience contrasted sharply with the estimates from other contractors we received for the same project, where the estimator seemed like they were in a hurry and didn't give us any information about their company, material and construction options, etc. Eddie went through all of this information in great detail, so the estimate we received was exactly customized to our preferences, down to the style of pickets in the front yard. This really set the tone for the whole experience and was the reason we ultimately chose Fence & Deck Connection for this project. The estimate was very reasonable, especially considering the emphasis they obviously placed on craftsmanship, which was something no other company discussed - we knew they would do a quality job and take pride in their work. We decided to pull the permit ourselves to save a bit of money, and the process ended up being really difficult with the county due to some restrictions about our lot. The team at Fence & Deck Connection was so communicative, helpful, and patient during this time while we worked everything out. They gave us advice on how to proceed and provided us with new drawings of the project to satisfy the county's changes. They helped us sort out the changes in the estimate and financing. Even with Covid in full swing, we were able to start the project pretty quickly. Our production manager (Bill) was super communicative as he checked the placement of flags and scheduled our start date. The installers kept us in the loop throughout the whole installation process. They verified information, asked us questions, and answered ours - basically making sure everything was the way we wanted it. They even helped us replace our mailbox. After the project was completed, several members of the Fence & Deck Connection team reached out to make sure we were satisfied and didn't have any other concerns. A week or two later, we noticed one of the gate posts had shifted and needed to be adjusted, and they sent someone out quickly to fix it, no questions asked. This project was easily the most painless interaction I've ever had with a contractor, and I could not recommend Fence & Deck Connection more!"

"AMA was great to work with. All the small jobs I needed help with were completed nicely. Painted all the rooms, installed a new microwave, repaired the front sidewalk, and many other jobs, were completed professionally, at a reasonable cost, and in a timely manner. I'd recommend this company over and over again. Thanks Dan!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Rocky Ridge, MD

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.
