"We had Green Shield install our new composite deck this summer. The crew was absolutely outstanding! I had a lot of questions and concerns and they were always happy to answer or talk things over with me. Our deck is exactly what we wanted and we couldn't be happier with the results!"

"Joe and the Sunny Day team were fantastic from start to finish. We will be using them again. For anyone considering remodel work in NWI, do yourself a favor ... call them. Project and Quoting: - Scope of work: $50K-100K kitchen remodel. Full gut of kitchen/dining room, including removal of load bearing walls, adding new windows and external doors - My very first call to Joe was returned within 15 minutes, and he did not answer because he was working a saw and did not hear it ring. With Sunny Day, your main point of contact also knows how to do all of the work. Huge benefit. - We got four quotes from local contractors. Three of the four, including quote from Joe came back very close to one another - Joe has a great attitude and his professionalism is immediately apparent. Considerate, patient, genuine, understanding. This vibe permeates his whole team. Each one of them was a pleasure to work with. Quality of work: - Craftsmanship - Excellent. All the work looked great. Strong attention to detail. When I did bring up any concern (all of which were small), it was discussed and handled quickly and professionally. - Customer service - Excellent. They arrived every day when they said they would arrive. My wife and I work from home and have two young children and a dog. They worked around our schedule when necessary and did their best to make tough living conditions as easy as possible. They were always friendly and considerate. Joe was very responsive to calls and texts, and he did his best to prepare us for the coming week of activities so that we might know how loud and/or messy things might be. - Cleanliness - Excellent. During demo, they towed in a dumpster and towed it away at the end of each day. The worksite was VERY clean at the end of each day. They did not keep tools or equipment here. They vacuumed every night. They tarped and sealed off the rest of the house every day. - Timeliness - Excellent. Each one of our contractors, including Joe, quoted 5 weeks for the reno. Sunny Day finished in 3.5 weeks. That is a testament to his team planning and organization. - Added Bonus - Joe has developed relationships with some great vendors. We had no idea what we were doing and certainly no experience with local businesses. Joe gave us excellent guidance in the planning phase and gave us great contacts for cabinets, counter tops, plumbing and flooring. We will be giving each of the vendors we used our business going forward. I am always skeptical of over-the-top online reviews. This one is sincere and rooted in facts. Sunny Day is a top-notch remodeler. Our kitchen came together just like we envisioned it. We are already talking about our next project because we know we can call someone that we trust to make it happen."

"Completely satisfied with the overall experience. Communication was open, easy and frequent. The timeline of completion and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations. I recommended Tip-Top to my family and friends. My parents ended up hiring them for their deck as well."

"I really could not have asked for better administrative and management service. The actual work and the carpenter himself was equally as great. The carpenter was creative in delivering a great product. I would like to assume that some carpenter would have charged a bit less, but it would not have been worth the savings to either get inferior service, a headache, or a questionable product."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Schererville, IN

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.
