"I have been in construction for nearly 50 years, so I have developed a keen eye for quality craftsmanship. Our project was no small project, so there was a genuine concern that the right company be hired to do our project. After reading J T General Contracting's reviews, I reached out to Jim for an estimate. Again, as I stated earlier, I have been involved in construction for nearly 50 years, so when a contractor shows up for an estimate when he stated that he would, that is a good first step. In talking with Jim about our project, it didn't take long for me to realize that he knows what he is talking about and how our project should be approach. After interviewing two other contractors, it was a no brainer to go with J T General Contractors. Our project just completed today, and I can state that from the demolition of our existing deck, to the layout and installation of piers, Posts, Joists, Trex Composite Deck (with stairs and raised platform for the Spa) and composite Railings, I could not find one flaw in his workmanship. Jim takes a great deal of pride in the work that he is installing and demands that from his employees as well. Secondly, Jim has excellent communication skills, not only in responding to phone calls or text messages, but explaining what he will be doing each step of the way. I would have no problem referring J T General Contracting to family and friends and will be using Jim for our future projects."

"O'Rourke Deck Services recently completed work on our deck and patio. We were very pleased with both the process and the results. They were timely and professional, and communication was good throughout the process. Their work on our deck included replacing a number or boards and rebuilding a section of it, in addition to power washing, sanding, and staining. The finished deck looks great, as does the patio, where they power washed, relaid some of the stones, and applied polymeric sand. The cost of all this work was very reasonable. We'll definitely call on them again as needed."

"We hired Gerlyn to rebuild our deck, replacing old wood with composite material. Angel and his crew were very professional in their approach to the job and made sure they did everything right. The deck is beautiful, and frankly more solid than before. The price was very reasonable, they started the project within a week of our agreement, and were on the job 8 to 5 every day until the project was completed. I will gladly turn to Gerlyn Services for my home improvement projects in the future."

"So at the beginning I was skeptical… no big fancy website, shrewd sales department, customer service representatives or middle-people… just a(The) Deck Guy(z)… a what you see is what you get-type operation, a real old-fashioned, word-of-mouth, independent small business. So I went with my gut (and my dog’s gut!) and I’m glad we did. It turns out it was great to work with someone who had real personal investment in the integrity of their craft, rather than just any random contractor assigned to the job by some bigger outfit collecting a paycheck. Allen replied immediately to my inquiry here on Angi, and shot me a ballpark estimate over the phone based on dimensions and materials, just to be sure we weren’t wasting each other’s time, and then he came out probably the very next day for a consult, might have even been a Sunday. I got another visit a couple days later with a written agreement/contract with prices and dates. Work began and finished on schedule, and on budget, including a few modifications and improvisations along the way. I was a little nervous when I asked them to extend a pathway, which involved a considerable amount of extra heavy duty concrete demo, and subsequent tweaks in design. But they rolled with it and made it happen on the fly, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. (Why on earth doesn’t Angi allow pics in the review?!) Al and PJ were a pleasure to see and interact with each day I was at home during the project. But on my work days I trusted them implicitly with access to my home/garage/yard as necessary, and they were beyond respectful of my property and pets… my dog and 2 cats enjoyed supervising the work and occasionally lending a helping “paw”. We’re actually going to miss having them around and just might have to find another excuse, I mean project! to hire them again in the future."

"He did an incredible job. It looks like the original installation on the oven. He was extremely neat and didn't make any kind of a mess. I would use him again and recommend him to anyone looking for some finished carpentry. He was extremely punctual and professional."

"Entire experience with Dino and his crews was great. We put in a permeable paver walkway, and he crushed it. He worked hard on the front end to make sure that the product that we were installing was one that we wanted for the aesthetics that were going for and him and his guys worked hard during the installation to make sure the details were all correct and the product was what put in right. Would definitely hire him on future products and highly recommend."

"I had a small job and trouble finding professional help for my small job replacing the shingles on the roof of my wood garden shed -- 12x6 size. Once I removed the tools inside to prepare for their work, I realized I also needed the floor replaced. They completed both jobs within a few hours; they cleaned up afterwards, I am now prepared for keeping my lawnmower and other tools dry and ready for next season. They were a pleasure to work with. Their price was fair."

"Frank's crew has done a variety of tasks for us: ceiling painting, checking plumbing, redoing our front porch, fixing light fixtures and wiring, installing sensors in garage and front porch, and replacing our front door and storm door. Salvador and Manuel work well as a team; they are both hard workers. They are friendly and willing to answer our questions as well as ask us about our preferences. We wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for our contracting needs."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Woodridge, IL

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.
