"Except for the fact that it took longer than anticipated, I could not be happier with the results and the impeccable servive. Jeff has a dedicated crew that does great work. I did find a few things that I asked to be changed or improved and there was never a problem and no extra charge. In addition, Jeff researched at length to get us the best way to install a fireplace and chimney. This guy is a GEM!"

""Quality" / "Workmanship" / "Good Guy" / "Friend" All describe Mike and how he handled our project at our dream vacation home. The project entailed a complete gut job and rebuild inside an approximately 1500+ sqft cabin. From electric, drywall, framing, building a railing, installing kitchen cabinets, adding a Tongue and Groove board to the ceiling and more. This was a big job and attacked it with professionalism. The only real issue we ran into was timing and not being finished as fast as we had anticipated. Because it was a complete house remodel and rebuild it was originally to be done in 3 months however it took around 5 months until the project was done to have people in the house. There were a lot of components to the project and I hired additional contractors for specific jobs to help speed things up and during that process Mike helped out and acted as my GC and what Mike was in charge of/contractor for was done right without any issues. I had some issues with some of the other contractors I hired but not with Mike. He was always in communication via text, phone or email which I appreciated. Provided photos as status updates or just called to say where we were at. He helped out where he could and offered some additional services at no charge which I really appreciated because of how large the project was and the amount of overages that were happening at the house. I would absolutely hire Mike again and would recommend him to handle your project."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Shohola, PA

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.
