"Start to finish, this company is 5 stars. It's so refreshing to hire a company that does what it promises. Their communication was outstanding. They showed up on time every day. They were very respectful of our house, always took shoes off to walk through and carefully covered everything with plastic to protect from the dust. Gary provided a very detailed and thorough estimate, offering suggestions but never upselling. Billy, Mark and Aaron worked super hard and accomplished so much in a very short time. Mark, the dad, supervised and kept us updated throughout the process. When there was a minor issue that arose, they were all over it and fixed it without question or hesitation. I wish all companies operated like this one. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat."

"Brett and his team at RMD & Son Contracting willing took on a job that we were having difficulty finding anyone to even give an estimate for. While others thought the job was too difficult or too small, Brett promptly came out to inspect and provide an estimate. The job was completed today. The team went above and beyond and I highly recommend them."

"After some wind storm damage, John from Magic Exterior Solutions was prompt, professional and observant. He noticed the reality of where a piece of siding was torn from rather than my erroneous assumption. He gave me a reasonable price to correct it, and it was accomplished swiftly. I was so pleased with their work, I asked them to bid on replacing deck boards and staining the deck. John's crew finished all of the work within days!!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Stillwater, NY

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.
