"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!"

"C. U. Building Dreams, LLC did an extraordinary job repairing our deck and front stairs. Just a day after contacting Claudio, he came out to inspect the repairs we needed. In the same week, we had three repairmen come to fix the issues. They were very thorough and went above and beyond to complete the work. My husband and I are very happy with the final results. We highly recommend them for all your repairs or deck building needs!"

"I absolutely love the professional job Arnold’s Masonry performed at my house. Arnold is a complete professional when it comes to his work. The items I want to highlight are: · Arnold was very through and detailed in his proposal. There were NO surprises. Everything we asked for he spelled out in detail. · His estimate was by far the most economical and detailed. He detailed out all costs in the proposal. There were no hidden or missed costs. Everything was detailed out. · One thing I love is that he was a one stop guy. He managed and owned all aspects of the project. · The steps and walkway he rebuilt far exceeded our expectations. He really created a focal point to the front of my house. · His team not only performed a spectacular job in replacing the existing railings but added a walkway railing for the step there. · Also he refabricated a retaining wall next to the steps and his recommendation on the type of wall far exceeded what we had asked for. · His creation of a Belgian block edging with mulch on one side of the house and on the other side A Belgian block edging with stone fill really added a refreshing look to the outside of my house. · His team also replaced siding pieces for me that had been damaged over the years. Arnold was there for the ENTIRE time the work had to be performed. He met with me each day and kept me in the loop of his progress. Arnold kept his word on how long the project would take and when he said he would be there he was PROMPT and kept to the schedule. My wife and I are so pleased with not only with the work that was performed but with the professional and courteous manner both he and his crew treated both me and my wife. I highly recommend Arnold Masonry and Construction. I could not find a better professional to work with."

"We really enjoyed working with Arnold. He is practical, professional, and personable. He replaced our front steps and reset the tops on our retaining wall. The price was fair, and the job was completed reliably and efficiently and as promised. We would hire him again and recommend him to others."

"Chris from Exteriors of CT, LLC was fantastic to work with. His quote was competitive, and he clearly explained everything that would be included—roof removal, fascia and trim repairs, and the new installation. His team showed up on time, worked hard on a very hot day, and the quality of their work really shows. They left the property spotless when they were done. It’s rare to find a contractor this professional and reliable. We are thrilled with the results."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in West Hartford, 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.
