"The salesman, JAKE, was extremely helpful. I went through "Angie" to find a good company. Jake contacted that day and was out the next day to review what needed to be done. A quote was sent to me within 2 hours. We accepted and he was here the next day with paperwork. We asked if they could do the job before the end of the year (2025) if the bad weather held out. H&F workers were able to do the job mid December. The old gutters were removed and new ones installed by early afternoon. All mess was cleaned and old gutters were hauled away. Beautiful gutters installed with no signs of workers ever being here. Jake was a joy to work with. Listened to exactly what we wanted, made good suggestions and was fast to get back to us whenever needed. One of the best salesmen we have used in Many years."

"We are very happy with our deck results and would highly recommend C Maurer! They took on a refinishing job, requiring the team to strip, sand, replace a few boards, and hand paint our stubborn deck, which was not an easy task due to the solid stain that was previously on there. Sofina and team were persistent, professional, and she did a fantastic job! Thank you!!"

"I enjoyed Mark’s polite demeanor and how he showed me unanticipated issues that surfaced based on the original construction of the deck. The repairs were of excellent quality both visible and the under pinning support. I will definitely be calling Mark in the future. "

"Cannot praise the construction crew enough. They showed up to work on time, cleaned up everyday, polite and courteous, and the work was meticulous. Front end of the experience was not as ugh pleasant trying to work through contract. But if you can get through that phase the project was worth it."

"I hired this contractor for a new roof, siding and covered porch. He took my money and never completed the work. It is all half done. DO NOT RECOMMEND They improperly installed the siding. It all has to be redone. Never did the roof on the garage (I did ask them to wait) Porch is left unfinished. Now he is walking away from job and saying I can keep the final payment. It will cost me 3 times in the final payment to get someone else to fix and finish this company's errors."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in University City, MO

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.
