"Enrique made me feel at ease the moment I met him. He brought a calm and knowledgeable presence to the task of replacing our large deck, and I am glad to say that this thoughtful communication remained steady throughout the project. He and his crew were detail oriented, friendly and professional. He got the job done quickly and efficiently, not to mention beautifully and at a very reasonable price. I would not hesitate to hire this team again, and recommend Live Oak to anyone wanting deck work. It looks better than I would have even imagined, and I am so happy to be using our new deck!"

"We have a Victorian style home with a very steep, high-pitch roof, so finding a roofer willing to actually get up there and inspect it properly was not easy. Max with Imperia Roofing was the only one who didn?t just look from the ground. He got up on the roof himself, checked everything in detail, and explained exactly what needed to be done. He was great to work with from start to finish, very straightforward and easy to communicate with. The work was performed quickly, stayed on schedule, and the finished roof came out great. If you have a steep roof or a more complicated project like ours, I highly recommend Max and Imperia Roofing. Don?t look elsewhere."

"The Bayside Builders are the best at what they do! I've had my deck for years but it was looking worn and outdated. They helped me transform this area into something new - a more open, brighter space with plenty of room to relax on hot days or enjoy dinner under starry skies. What better way to enjoy our new outdoor space right?"

"I recently had my deck and porch completed by Geico Builders, and I couldn't be happier! Watching the team build everything from scratch was incredible. My project manager kept me updated throughout the process, assuring me that everything was under control. The workers were not only skilled but also consistently on time, which I really appreciated. They did a fantastic job enhancing my property, and I highly recommend them. If I ever decide to undertake another project, I won't hesitate to choose Geico Builders again!"

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!"

"I had an excellent experience working with Marwin. From start to finish, they were professional, communicative, and highly reliable. Every aspect of the project was handled with care and attention to detail, and the quality of the workmanship exceeded my expectations. They stayed on schedule, kept me informed throughout the process, and were always available to answer questions or adjust to any changes. What impressed me most was their commitment to delivering exactly what we had envisioned — and doing it with integrity and transparency. If you're looking for a contractor who’s trustworthy, skilled, and easy to work with, I highly recommend Marwin. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again for future projects. "

"We considered hardscaping our aging back yard and pool area for some time. System Pavers was one of the top of our list from my search. After we met a System Pavers rep at a commercial fair and discussed some of the aspects of what we wanted, I contacted them for an interview and evaluation. Patrick (Designer) came to our house fully prepared, discussed our desires, measured, took pictures, and came up with a preliminary plan. He went back to his office and prepared a very nice graphic design of suggestions and pricing. We reviewed the design and prices and returned to him with our budget. After discussions, he made further design changes to our liking and suggested we visit their warehouse to pick out pavers. We were dumfounded at the huge warehouse of many outdoor designs - fully built out! After sending us to another warehouse where we picked out our pool coping pavers, we were set. Upon signing contracts, our system project manager, Derek, met with us at our house to view what was needed. A contractor team led by Alex began work on a mutual date. What these guys did was nothing short of amazing. From the demo to the final stages of setting pavers, their meticulous work shined through. Derek kept in contact throughout the work visiting us several times to review things with me and Alex. As expected we had to make some adjustments during the project discovering piping and existing decking. Alexs team of hard workers were courteous and friendly working tirelessly each day with the utmost attention to details and total respect for our property. From beginning to end, our System Pavers team was accommodating - working with us to every detail (including budget) to an absolutely gorgeous end-product. If you are in the market for some hardscaping, be it large or small, do yourself a favor and contact System Pavers. Their team of experts will walk you through to an outstanding end! Thanks, Patrick, Derek, Alex and all the hard-working team! We are more than pleased."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in San Lorenzo, 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.
