"We wanted a rustic lake home kitchen and living room remodel & I met with several contractors before I had the pleasure of meeting with Rick Tollerud. These days one is lucky if a contractor even gets back to you but I could tell right away that we had the kind of rapport I look for in someone I want to do business with. He was extremely articulate, genuine, detail oriented and extremely responsive. He always made me feel like I was the only project he was managing though I knew he had many. Rick had a team of tradespeople that he trusted fully and they trusted him They were all very friendly, professional, on time and meticulously cleaned up after themselves every day. It was very soothing to hear these tradespeople volunteer their own positive comments about Rick while here about how they also valued Rick's organizational and communication skills. It's one thing to run a tight ship but another to be totally respected for it. Sure enough the remodel was done on time even through 2021-22 supply crisis times. I'm sure a lot of that was due to Rick's deliberate premeditated anticipation for exactly what would be needed and when. We worked together to come up with some really fun and unique upgrades. Rick worked to think through every move so it was done correctly and by code. Any issue I thought might have been a problem he worked to make sure it wasn't. No remodel is 100% perfect and there were a couple of minor little things that needed attention since the end date and Rick promptly responded and confidently let me know not to worry and it would be taken care of asap and sure enough it was. Our home turned out beautifully with meticulous attention to detail and high quality workmanship. We have more remodeling to do & when we are ready we will be having Rick back no question about it."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Watertown, MN

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.
