"We needed the exterior deck replaced and drainage repaired. All progressed as per Cody's timetable. The crew removed the old decking and replaced it with new wood. Everyone was professional, courteous and friendly. They moved on to remove the underside material and correct the drainage problem. Finally the painting was done and completed a day ahead of schedule. We are very happy with the finished project and would gladly reccomend Fralin construction."

"Donnell reinforced our 30 plus year old deck and brought it up to today's code by putting in cement pilings and replacing the support columns. He also added sturdier support beams. In addition he put in a paver patio to replace the gravelled area at the base of the steps."

"We recently had Tracy White and the team with Design & Remodeling Experts complete our deck rebuild project. As a first time homeowner, this was my first time hiring a contractor myself and Tracy and team made this a great experience. They were always extremely professional, and diligent about communicating both the progress milestones as well as any challenges as soon as they came up. They provided quick turnarounds on all items from the initial quote to the final day of the project. I couldn’t be happier with the final product."

"Steve and his employees were very easy to work with and did excellent work. They performed some repairs to my deck floor and repaired rotted out moldings around outside doors. Steve was easy to reach and always returned calls and kept me informed about when he would begin the repairs. The cost of his work was reasonable, and I would highly recommend him for handyman services!!"

"A & Romero was responsive, on time, and completed my deck repairs within 2 days at a very reasonable price. They went above and beyond with quality of repairs, and never deviated from the original price agreement. I would happily hire them again, and actually did for additional projects at my house. "

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Salem, VA

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.
