"Jamie and his crew of three did a good job tearing down and removing the existing 1100 square for deck. Completed in one day. They took a few more days to remove all the lumber. Our grass has still not recovered where they laid all the wood. We were downsizing our deck and getting Trex installed. Originally said it would take a week to ten days but took almost a month. Some delays were worker related, a few days were weather. They only day they put in eight hours was the demo day. Other days we might get two or three hours with one or two guys. I think one worker was let go in the process. The installation of the Trex was to the proper specs but later my wife and I found a few small problems. A little piece was broken off then glue was attempted leaving glue residue obvious. We were told it would be easy for us to clean. Another problem is a place where the boards are not even with the edge. Jamie said he?d come check it but hasn?t. $27,000 paid."

"Once again outstanding service. I hired Power House Painting last year to clean my home and this year they did not let me down. The tech (Amiri Catton) was on time and did a fantastic job on my once dirty home. Thank You."

"Wonderful work! When they get started they are efficient and thorough. Went above and beyond creating the walk to go around the curve of my flowerbed. Friendly too. As the work went along they made sure to confirm everything they did was exactly what we wanted."

"Great! Fence was constructed well and in a timely fashion. After a few weather setbacks, James came out on a Sunday and finished it up on Monday. James has a great work ethic and was great to work with. I will definitely hire Commonwealth Construction LLC again."

"We cannot say enough good things about Mid Atlantic Exteriors! Robert came and gave us a fair quote so we looked no further. He and his crew came out and finished our deck in two and half days! The crew was amazing. Our new deck is well-made and beautiful. We have had many people stop by to complement how beautiful our desk is. Thank you Robert and crew for a very positive experience."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Suffolk, VA

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.
