"Leo’s did a magnificent job. They replaced a 6x10 foot old badly water damaged second story deck with stairs with a 10x20 foot deck using new materials which will stand up to time and weather. From design to finished product they kept us informed. The work was done quickly and the new deck looks great. The price charged was very competitive, indeed it was the lowest of 3 quotes. I have no problem recommending Leo’s High Quality Construction. "

"We worked with Wisconsin Innova Construction to replace an aging sliding glass door with a window, remove a leaky atrium, and relocate an exterior door. They did all of this as well as reframing the necessary exterior walls and installing new siding and roofing. Throughout the project, they were thoughtful and detail-oriented, taking extra time to repair areas damaged by the old windows and ensuring that the new exterior lights and outlets were positioned exactly where we wanted them. The work was completed within the quoted timeframe and at a very reasonable price. We were so impressed with the results that we've already hired them again for additional projects!"

"Our deck is beautiful! Kyle and his crew were very meticulous in their work. Their precision in building our deck was great. Their attention to detail created a beautiful structure that were sure will last a long time. We were impressed with smart decks from the very beginning. Starting with the estimate, Kyle was informative, kind and we felt he would stand behind his work. When the deck was done , Kyle came back and made sure everything was done to our expectations. We highly recommend Smart Decks ( Kyle and his crew)! You all did a fantastic job. We love our new deck! Thank you!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Madison, WI

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.
