"I wanted to thank you again for making our Middletown De bathroom renovation project such a HUGE success. This was a major renovation of TWO bathrooms in the home we recently purchased, and there was a lot riding on it. Working with Andrew Viohl and AW Viohl Contracting Team was a pleasure from start to finish. Andrew and his team handled each challenge extremely well, from the schedule, to commuting from North Wilmington to Middletown, and our requests to change bathroom products and finishes. The most impressive thing to me was when Andrew and his team came across a challenge or question; they always came to us with a viable solution. We absolutely love the end result. From the start of the project to the finish, it went very smoothly. I was also impressed with the professionalism of Andrew and his team. I appreciated that Andrew always made himself available; he responds quickly to phone calls, emails and texts. We trust Andrew; he is fair and honest. We appreciated the manner in"

"I was very impressed with their workmanship! I had them resurface my existing wood deck with Trex and couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend this company if you are looking for a trusted contractor who responds quickly, provides competitive pricing, and does the job fast without short-changing quality. The owner Robert, was very patient while I was trying to finalize my decisions and offered his thoughts and provided photos of his projects when he saw I was struggling to help me conclude a final decision. He actually did the job himself and you could tell with his years of experience, he was able to overcome any obstacle and the pride he takes in his work provided quality craftsmanship that is a gem to find in this current environment. I will definitely refer him to my family and friends!"

"Jim and his team were very professional throughout and did an awesome job renovating our exterior porch that enabled us to proceed with our initial concrete project. Jim's recommendation in 3D allowed us to visualize the plans in advance and the end result was perfect for our needs. I will be reaching out to Lockhart Construction for future work and highly recommend that you do the same!!"

"Albert does incredible work and he was a pleasure to work with. This was my first time having something this large scale built (a screened in porch) and he was nothing but professional, reliable, thorough, communicative, and kind. Albert answered all my questions along the way, checked in frequently to make sure the work was being done to our liking, and made changes (sometimes doubling back on his own work) when something wasn't exactly how we imagined. He also gave great insight and recommendations for ways to make the project better (like suggesting we do a board and batten pattern rather than the regular siding since it was the same price). He was always in touch via text with pictures if we weren't home and to check in when he would be at the house. He was also so respectful of our property and kept a very tidy, safe workspace. He puts so much care into his craft and it shows in the final product! Will definitely be hiring him again!"

"We hired Sam's company to fill a sinkhole on our property. He responded promptly when we reached out, completed the work as expected, and charged a fair price. Since the repair, we’ve had no issues with the area where the sinkhole occurred."

"DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE! In late 2023, I paid them $2000 to replace the roof, fascia, soffit, and gutter on the enclosed porch to my house. At the time, I had no leakage whatsoever. I just wanted to improve the look of my house. I was pleased and even provided a very nice Google review for their business. Fast forward to the blizzard of February 2026- on Friday 2/13, the heavy snow and ice on my roof began to melt & my ceiling started to leak. I immediately called them & spoke with Lee, who requested a video of the damage. On Monday 2/16, two of their employees came out and repaired the exterior. Once they left, I called Lee and asked when the interior would be repaired. I was told to wait for a few days to ensure the leak was completely fixed. After several more days of inclement weather, there was no more leaking. However, my ceiling is steadily falling apart and smelling moldy. They never quoted a repair fee & I haven't heard from them since 3/2. See attached for further details"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Wilmington, DE

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.
