"Price quoted was very competitive with other bids. Ralph communicated with us as needed due to unforeseen conditions discovered during tear down of old deck and installation of new deck. Matt was the carpenter on our project and he is a true master craftsman. Our new trex deck is beautiful and we could not be more pleased with Courtesy Home Construction. Highly recommend this contractor!"

"The personnel at DBC were very easy to work with. Everyone was very personable and professional. We already had a deck design in mind and they were able to work with us within a time frame we felt comfortable with. The work crew did an exceptional job and didn't mind that I wanted to take pictures of their progress or ask them questions about the job. We absolutely love our new outdoor space and are excited to use it."

"Nicardo Smith installed a partial bathroom and lied from the beginning. He claim it would be him and one other guy but sent two unknown men to my house. I was charged for material his workers took from house. My lawn was ripped into by one of the guys oversized trucks and left several deep indents that have not been repaired. My vanity installed now has a leak and my bathroom now smells. When brought to Nicardo attention, he started yelling and calling me names. He then threaten to take my home. This job was only to take 4 days and took a week and half. Very unprofessional with no business knowledge. His own workers talked poorly of him and stated he was not from US. Very rude person and non accountable for his unprofessional behavior. Better off hiring professionals. He seems to overestimate his prices. $600.00 for a 2 x 3 feet area. I was charged for my own paint being used. $4200 was paid for a $3000 job. He will overquote but will not supply you with receipts of materials picked up. He will lie about financing options and talk trash about you as a client to the hired help to put you in messy situation. Please look elsewhere. This guy is a messy scam artist."

"We were updating the kitchen and wanted to refresh the drywall ceiling a lot of patch work from previous owner repairs and fix a few outlets. Mike and Bobby came in and removed and replaced the drywall. They did an excellent job. The walls a ceiling look great (new again)."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Mentor, OH

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.
