"Vilson and Stefan are a father and son team whom I hired to remodel a kitchen and bathroom. They came immediately to my home and provided me with a written estimate which I felt was extremely reasonable. They started the work on time and were immaculate in all the demolition and remodeling. From the initial project, I hired them to do many more numerous projects in my home from painting, sanding and finishing hardwood floors, an additional bathroom and a new backyard deck. To say that their work was excellent is an understatement. They were also extremely personable, considerate and kind. They were a pleasure to have in my home and I looked forward to seeing them everyday. They stay on the job until it is finished and offer any help you might need. I feel fortunate to have met these wonderful men, not only for the extraordinary work that they provided but also for their kind and wonderful nature. I will miss them."

"Anderson is a miracle worker, installing a shower in our basement bathroom when other contractors said it couldn’t be done or would be outrageously expensive. Anderson did the work in a short time, cleaned up all the debris and left it spotless. His cost was very reasonable and he used his contractor’s discounts for the materials. He communicates very well so I knew when he was coming and going. I was consulted at every step. I highly recommend Home Innovation!!!"

"Hired him Install or Replace Door Trim Comment: Diego relocated the attic access in our home from an 18" square hole inside a closet to a code-compliant ceiling ladder unit. He worked very hard to move it to a location I wanted, but after determining my location was not possible he took great care to make sure that it was installed cleanly and attractively in the bedroom. He did the work as quoted, in the timeline he expected, and ran a very clean and efficient worksite. Very happy with the results. Than hired him again to Build a New Closet Comment: Diego arrived when he stated, completed the work exactly as he quoted, kept a clean worksite, and conducted everything very professionally."

"As a brownstone dweller and small time landlord, I have lots of odds and ends that need doing. I have used Patrick s services for several jobs now, and am always so pleased with the results. Everything from sinking a fence post to repair my backyard fence, to gut-renovating a kitchen. He and his crew are knowledgeable, prompt, tidy and communicate effectively - - I never sit around waiting for somebody who does not show or calls an hour later to reschedule. Both I and my tenants are treated respectfully and always dealt with fairly. Patrick is a stand-up man and I recommend him whole-heartedly. If you do not expect something for nothing, but are looking for good, honest work, done skillfully and on time, Tigerâ s Handyman is the company to call."

"Fabian is a top notch contractor. Not only did he consistently show up on time everyday,but he finished the deck early. And it looks amazing!!!! I am so happy. He is God sent. I just had a contractor take advantage of me and Fabian removed that fear and reassured me that he would not do that. He was very patient and walked me through the entire process. I can't say enough how amazing the porch looks. Thank you Nova Home Improvement for your professionalism. You will always have my business.. I'm a customer for life. All please hire Fabian you will not be disappointed."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Thornwood, 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.
