"We had wanted to add a deck to our home for years. We finally were in a place to do it this year. We chose Deck Guardian and we couldn’t be happier. Every step of the process was painless, and the staff we dealt with were amazing. The first person we dealt with, Ian, came preppy and made suggestions for what our deck could look like. He thoroughly explained the process. Once all the permits had been received, building began and we were so blessed to have Roberto and Antonio as our builders. Their work was impeccable. The result was we have a deck that was entirely worth the wait. It is beautiful, solidly built, and the envy of our neighbors. In short, we couldn’t be happier or recommend Deck Guardian highly enough."

"My parents and I live in a old brick apartment building in Hoboken that is from the 1880s. The bathroom in our apartment had not been updated since the 1940s. We needed help ASAP. We checked out Cesar s page and wanted to hire him immediately. The reviews speak for themselves. When he came into our apartment to give us a quote we knew that this was contractor we needed to get the job done. Cesar is affordable, friendly, and very accommodating to any issues or concerns you have before starting the project. Two massive issues with our project were that my dad has spinal & walking issues, so we needed the floors clear of all tools and materials at the end of the each day so that father could walk efficiently through the apartment. The other big issue was that we only have 1 bathroom, so Cesar agreed to work with us on pulling the toilet off and on as every day finished so that we did not have to leave our building to use the toilet. Him and his crew are the best and take pride in their work so that owner is happy with the final result. We brought the bathroom down to the bare bones and rebuilt it back up. I worked with him every step of the way to make sure that he needed all materials to get the job done in the time we needed. This project was an intense remodel with some of the hardest demo and substrate materials that an old bathroom can have. He didn t think anything of it. He has veteran experience in the field and this remodel only took 3 weeks. We are very impressed with Cesar s craftsmanship and professionalism and we will be hiring him again for any future interior projects."

"Work was more extensive than expected, but the technician was very clear and communicative with how work was progressing throughout the process. I was not left in the dark as to what was done or still needed to be done. I am very happy with the experience working with Mr Handyman."

"Oronoque was here for about an entire month.  6 days a week as long it didn't rain.  The owner Jim Faris was on site everyday and was working along with his crew.  His team is very professional and very courteous.  They unpacked and cleaned up every day.  His team also takes lots of time to make sure the job gets done right.  This is important.  From when they arrive to when the leave, it was a nice experience.  Jim also takes lots of time to explain why and how they are building the deck the way they were.  
Every house needs work, and some places on the home need it more than others.  Jim was able to help us understand what needed to be done first, and what would wait a little longer.  I didn't feel like he was pressuring me.  It was more along the lines of this is Good but that maybe you should look at that earlier than later kinda thing.  Also Jim provided references, lots of pictures and we visited another job he did so see the deck work.
1.  Remove existing 2 roofs, Removing all gutters.  Replace all Soffit, Facia and Rake trim with Azek.  Install ice and water 36" to the entire perimeter at gutters.  Balance of roof to have vinyl roofing paper.  Replace all vent boots and check all flashings.  Install 30 year architectual style shines and new 6" gutters with 4" leaders.  He also installed new Soffit vents.  Also I needed clapboard replaced and painted in some areas as well so they did the entire side of my home.  It was in pretty bad shape but now looks great!
2.  Same as above but for dormers about the garage and also install new clapboard on the dormers.
3.  Remove existing deck.  Install new pressure treated frame (2x10), new pressure treated header (2x10)
Installation of Azek deck with composite railings.  There is a lot of work in this one as you can assume from demo to rebuild.
4.  Lots of new Azek trim around the garage, and rest of the house.
5.  Family room with vaulted ceiling both painted and repaired.
6.  Installation of new Kitchen slider.
7.  Repair of pocket door.  Repair of Saddle from Kitchen to Family room.

"Mandi and his father were very personable, they presented their estimate quickly and respectfully and fairly. Their workmanship is top quality. They scheduled the replacement of my deck in a timely manner. They started the replacement when they said they would, then came everyday until the job was completed. They consulted me throughout the project. I would highly recommend MC Construction to anyone that wants perfection and quality work in a timely manner."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Whippany, NJ

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.
