"I decided to go with Royalty design & build after reviewing five contractors, and I'm very happy with my choice! The quality of the materials used and the craftmanship is top-notch, and the finished deck looks even better that I imagined. Communication was excellent throughout the project, and they made sure I was informed at every stage. Thank you Gabi and team for everything! I will definitely reach out for my next project."

"Brandon and his crew did an amazing job on our two level deck. They removed the old decking, sanded, repaired, and refinished the railing and beams. They installed the new decking on time and on budget. Looks great"

"We recently had Bentov Builders complete a deck and pergola project for us, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Ben, the owner and project manager, was great to work with from start to finish. He kept everything organized, communicated clearly, and made sure we always knew what was going on. That alone made the whole process feel a lot less stressful. The crew was professional, showed up on time, and paid attention to the details. The deck looks amazing, and the pergola really transformed our backyard into a space we actually want to spend time in. If you’re in San Diego and looking for a reliable contractor, I’d definitely recommend Bentov Builders. — Mark "

Customers say: True professional

"We found McCormick home builders through Angie’s list. They were not one of our original contacts, but they contacted us and came out to give us a quote. Matteo was extremely helpful, informative, honest, and gave us reasonable realistic prices, and did not try to inflate the prices or pressure us in anyway. We felt very comfortable with him immediately. We felt like he was a member of the family that we could just talk to and ask questions he was very personable. He gave us his contact number in case we had other questions and he was always available when we needed him for any type of questions or concerns. Mateo‘s team did a beautiful job. They were fast. They were efficient. They cleaned up beautifully. They did a wonderful job. They were very considerate of our time our needs and our neighbors. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Matteo from McCormick home builders for any home building projects, and we will be calling him again in the future!"

"Jake is a true professional and you will not be disappointed if you hire him for your project. He is honest, reliable, trustworthy and meticulous in his work. I was getting frustrated trying to find a contractor or deck company that would repair/replace my deteriorating deck. People would not return my calls or show up when we had agreed on an appointment time. When I called Jake he patiently walked me through the things that would be important to consider when embarking on the deck project. This was critical because I live on a canyon and the deck is suspended in the air, so it is more complicated than a deck that is at ground level. Jake came over to look at the deck and spent the necessary time to figure out what was really involved, including replacing some joists and beams that could not be saved. So instead of taking a quick look at the top of the deck, giving me a superficial quote and then adding costs on to it later, Jake was thorough about the scope of the project from the very beginning. In addition, he excelled at communicating regularly about work schedules, various options for the project and cost. Jake understands that cost is very important (sometimes most important) to homeowners and he acts accordingly. Jake was also straightforward about his availability explaining that he would not be able to start for a few months due to prior commitments. He even told me that I might want to consider another contractor or deck company if I wanted to get started sooner. That told me that Jake was more interested in my satisfaction than ensuring he ultimately got the job. However, at that point I was convinced that he was the best option and for me it was more important to have the right person for the job than to begin work immediately. I'm very happy that I did wait, because the deck is finished now, it is beautiful and just what I wanted. Finally, Jake takes real pride in his work and he will treat your project like he is working on his own home. That's probably the highest compliment I can pay him. I have other projects outstanding and have already asked Jake to provide bids for those."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in San Diego, CA

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.
