"Yes, they are hard working people and very creative. Kosta gives you beautiful ideas for design of the decks and patios. Price was very reasonable compare to other companies. They use quality materials from lumbers not from HD or Lowe?s which are less quality. Whatever they promise they will do it. And the job is done right on the schedule. I will use Chris Masonry and Decks any time I need masonry work or decks."

"We needed to replace a patch of our living room ceiling due to damage from a water leak upstairs. We contacted C&B, who responded and quoted us a price quickly. The price was fair for a multi-day job, they got it done within a week, and they even helped us repaint the ceiling. Very professional, courteous, and trustworthy. We'd strongly recommend!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"I hired Arnaldo's company for my deck and pavers. I didn't want to micromanage 2 different companies. His company did phenomenal work. They were efficient with their time management to keep both projects running smoothly, professional, neat and offered suggestions for ideas other companies didn't. This is the only company to inform me concrete would not be the best option for my fire pit area d/t the ground shifting which lead me to pavers. Over time the concrete will crack but when the pavers shift it can be corrected and not noticed unlike fixing cracked cement. They worked with me to find pavers that wouldn't have me go over budget and I'm so happy with everything they did. I highly recommend Duarte Home Improvements to anyone who wants to turn their outdoor space into their peaceful outdoor oasis."

"Absolutely fantastic! On my daily walks, I noticed the amazing work done by Renald at a home he was working on in my neighborhood. I quickly got his information and had him do a beautiful stone wall and sidewalk in front of my home. Such wonderful work! I also had him redo my deck. It looks great! He is knowledgeable, professional, has high standards for his work and uses only the best materials. I highly recommend him to do work for you. Hire the best if you want the best work for your home that will last forever!"

"We just had a 750 sqft in-law addition built by Daddona. They have a great crew to work with. Ron and Roman came to our house to discuss the project and then came back to review their proposal in detail. They were open to ideas and suggested valuable changes in the roof design before we started contraction. The best thing was the constant communication. Ron would text, e-mail and call, and more importantly answer all my texts, e-mails and call usually the same day if not immediately. The crew was there every day at 7:30am, with hammers and saws going at 7:31am. We jointly worked through numerous change orders without any issue. The overall construction and material used were also top notch. They are a great partner to have during construction."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Watertown, CT

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.
