"Replaced our front deck last spring. In comparison to what it looked like originally, it is way better. Took twice as long as they estimated and the price creeped up incrementally, but hey, typical contractor. Now for the bad part...one of the boards they used was notched in multiple places leaving a splintered edge for any barefoot walker to injure their tender toes. Another board started peeling almost immediately and at best needs sanding and refinishing. At worst replacing. I called and they told me they had no way of knowing that the boards were bad when they installed them. Somehow that didn't help with the fact that the boards are indeed bad. I complained further to the actual owner. He said they'd come back and fix it this past spring. Guess what I got? Silence. As the other reviews suggest, try someone else if you want quality service and/or someone who knows good wood vs. bad."

"Jorge and his team are calm, communicative, wise and efficient. We were very happy with the results. A lot of contracting is the over-promise under-deliver. Jorge came through with promises and provided more help and suggestions (the right ones) that put us on a path to happiness. I absolutely recommend. P.S. Lowe’s delivered our material to Denver… Jorge drove there in a snowstorm to pick it up and stayed the night. Away from his family. Contractors are hard to work with because it’s usually something we, as a client, don’t want to be doing. He is a forceful help. "

"About a year earlier than our project, several of the homeowners in our community with stucco homes had their chimney rebuilt and the stucco replaced as a result of mold, rotting wood, and other water infiltration problems. Seeing what our neighbors were doing and knowing about the problems with stucco in PA, we hired a stucco inspector who identified several areas around our house where the stucco needed to be remediated, including the chimney. JJ&E Construction agreed to remove the stucco and repair the areas identified by the inspector with the understanding that if addition underlying problems were found, they would be required to address them. Once the work started, it quickly became apparent that the original stucco was not installed correctly. JJ&E also found that the foundation on the back wall of our walk-out basement was not installed correctly and agreed to repair that. JJ&E removed all the original stucco, replaced any damaged or rotted wood, replaced any damaged insulation, and installed new exterior plywood, Tyvek® wrap, additional weatherproofing layers, aluminum wrap trim around the doors and windows, and stucco that meets all current codes. The craftsmanship of all the work was excellent."

"I had a broken tension spring and could not Open (Old)garage door . .JD called me straight a way. He came over and checked to see if he had a spring w/him that would work. He said he could order one, and I said, yes please. W/all things happening, he could not say for sure how quick this would happen. Two days later he called and installed spring. He also replaced the drums that wind the cables going to bottom of door. Balanced the door. Works great. And Before the snow. Hard to get things like this done in Resort towns."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Vail, CO

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.
