We recently had the pleasure of working with Pro-Tech Construction for the complete rebuild of our front porch, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results!

From start to finish, Pro-Tech Construction exceeded our expectations in every way. The owner was incredibly honest, transparent, and focused on the details, making sure everything was done to perfection and our satisfaction. His pride in his work is evident in the exceptional quality and attention to every little nuance. The project was completed on time and within budget. What truly sets Pro-Tech apart is their fairness—his pricing was competitive, he uses quality materials, and the work done was well worth every penny. We are thoroughly impressed and highly recommend Pro-Tech Construction for any home improvement project. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Pro-Tech Construction for our future upgrades and projects. Thank you for making our porch the most beautiful porch in the neighborhood! It is truly built to last and we are so glad that we found Pro-Tech!"

"After getting the run around from another local company, I found Fletcher Constructions online and reading many great reviews. We were very eager and anxious to start our project since the other company had us waiting for so long, that I sent a quick note to Fletcher Constructions website. Within 2 hours I had a reply asking when we could met for a consultation. He gave an honest, and unbeatable estimate for building our deck and fence. Our communications were always timely and professional. When work commenced the job was done in 4 days as promised!! His team was courteous, hard working, and provided excellent work. They ensured their mess was cleaned up after every day on the site and when the job was finished all remaining materials and tools were immediately removed from the property. We threw a party on our new deck and we had a few friends who knew a thing or two about building decks. They commented that the workmanship on our deck was superior. Many mentioned that there were many small details added to the work which made our deck stand out. For instance each deck board was screwed rather than nailed (nails tend to come out with time). When payment came, there were no hidden fees, or added costs, only the price we agreed on. We are extremely happy with the service and work that was provided by Fletcher Construction and would HIGHLY recommend."

"We had multiple items that needed to be addressed. Rear deck refinishing, replacing rotted/damaged wood siding and trim, replacing a screen door, fixing/repainting a bathroom ceiling and replacing a couple of rotted window sills. The quality of work was excellent and we were also on a tight timeline, which they met in time for us to host a neighborhood party. I highly recommend this company and you should be comfortable hiring them for any needs for your home."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Vcu-west, 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.
