"Chris and his crew were amazing! We had started the project on our own, but it became more than we could handle. These guys stepped in and brought our already started vision to life. Chris communicated every step of the way and was very responsive to questions, etc. I was very impressed with their work ethic (even working on Saturdays and Sundays) and craftsmanship. I absolutely LOVE my new deck! I would highly recommend these guys for future jobs! "

"These guys were awesome. From the planning to the building of our project. They gave us an accurate estimate. Even added an accessibility ramp at our request and fit it perfectly on the deck they built for us. They were able to start our project a week ahead of schedule and even worked in weather that was very cold. They were efficient and quick. They cleaned everything up when they were finished and I couldn’t have ask for more polite and professional service. Will definitely contact them for future projects!"

"My name is Nana Camara. I needed a deck built in my backyard, so I went online and found Excel. From the start, the communication was excellent. Thomas took care of everything — he was professional, understanding, and really listened to what I wanted. I didn’t have any cash on hand, but Thomas helped me get approved through a bank, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. He even gave me different options to choose from based on my needs and budget. Now, thanks to Excel and Thomas, I have a beautiful new deck and I’m ready to enjoy the summer! I’m so grateful for how easy they made everything. I highly recommend Excel if you're looking to get a fence or deck done — and definitely ask for Thomas!"

"After three other contractors wasted my time two disappeared after seeing the job and one never even showed up after making an appointment. I was ready to give up. Then I found CK Outdoor Creations LLC and everything changed. Chris showed up on time, gave a fair estimate communicated clearly the entire project and delivered excellent craftsmanship on a porch/deck repair that others said could not be done. Reliable professional skilled everything you can hope for when faced with what seemed to be an impossible fix. We will absolutely hire him again and highly recommend him to neighbors and friends.

"Kris and Brett did a great job building my new garage. I would highly recommend them. They even added 6 outlets, a ceiling fan, 5 windows that match my house windows, and an outdoor light. They are very hard workers! "

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Shrewsbury, 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.
