Stella D. says, "I recently had my porch remodeled and I cannot express enough how incredibly well it went. The handyman who worked on my porch was skilled, efficient, and friendly. From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, the entire process was a breeze. One of the things that impressed me the most was the attention to detail. The team took the time to really understand what I wanted and needed from my porch, and they made sure to incorporate those elements into the design. They also made suggestions that I hadn't considered, which ultimately made the porch even better than I had envisioned. The construction process itself was seamless. The team arrived on time each day and made sure to clean up after themselves at the end of each day, which made the whole process much more manageable. They also kept me updated on their progress throughout the remodel, which was much appreciated. The final product is absolutely stunning. The porch looks like something out of a magazine, and I have received so many compliments on it already. The quality of the workmanship is evident in every detail, from the materials used to the finishing touches. Overall, I am thrilled with my new porch and the entire remodeling process. I would highly recommend this team to anyone who is looking for a high-quality, professional, and stress-free porch remodel. Thank you so much for an incredible job!"See more

Sina D. says, "These guys were great,better than I expected. They came out for my estimate on time, big plus. Steven worked alone his partner wasn't feeling his best, so he didn't come to take care of the work I needed done. I really appreciated the fact that he didn't want to share any gems. I had light fixtures replaced, fence, and gate repair. An access panel put in for plumbing. Steven arrived on time and went to work immediately. He worked non-stop other than picking up needed material to do the job. At first, I wasn't too sure because they're young, but their professionalism after I spoke with them convinced me to hire them. Well, my experience was great. The price was good. I had light fixtures replaced, access panel installed, textured ceiling repaired, fence, and gate repaired. I will definitely have them back to add attic steps and some plumbing work soon."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much does it cost to build a deck?

The cost of building a new deck or porch is $1,500. However, this price can vary depending on a few different factors. The square footage of the space, the type of materials to be used, the intricacy of the project and your specific region can cause the price to fluctuate. To find out how much your new deck will cost, get free estimates from the best deck contractors near you.

Does a deck increase home value?

A back deck may (or may not) increase your home’s value or attract potential buyers if you’re looking to sell. According to the Remodeling Impact Report: Outdoor Features, a new wood deck with an estimated construction cost of $10,000 recovered $8,000 for the overall recovery of 80%. Still, 9% of realtors suggested that home sellers should add a new wood deck before putting their home on the market, and 4% said this project has helped closed deals. 

The impact of adding a new deck will likely depend on its material (wood, composite, etc.) and where you live. For example, if you live in an area where people rarely spend time outside because of the weather, it’s reasonable to predict that prospective home buyers might not rate a deck highly on their list of must-haves when looking for a new home.  

When in doubt, consult with your realtor or a real estate expert to figure out if adding a new deck to your home is the right move to increase your home’s value. If it is, contact the best deck contractors near you to get free estimates and start planning your project.  

Who is a carpenter and what do they do?

Carpenters are skilled craftsmen who build things out of wood. Depending on what the carpenter builds, they may be referred to by various names. A framer is a carpenter who puts up the framing on a house. A trim or finish carpenter installs the finishing touches of prefabricated or custom trim and detail work once a house has been built and the walls are up. A furniture maker or woodworker builds furniture — such as tables, beds and dressers — out of wood. A cabinetmaker is a carpenter who builds custom and semi-custom wood cabinets. If you’re having a home built or remodeled, your general contractor will either provide or subcontract the carpentry work for the framing, cabinets and trim. You can hire a carpenter directly to update the trim in your home, build you a piece of custom furniture, or repair or replace your wood cabinets.

Is it hard to build a deck yourself?

If you don’t have the skills, experience and qualifications, building a deck may be difficult for you to do on your own.

Structural integrity is key when constructing anything, but especially something you plan to have your family and friends use regularly. The safety of the structure takes careful planning and experience.

Professional contractors have the knowledge to make a safe, beautiful deck for you. They also know the proper permits and insurance required to legally build a new deck or remodel a porch in your city.

When in doubt, contact the best deck contractors near you and start getting free estimates today.

Do carpenters build houses?

Carpenters are trained to work with wood. That means that any part of your home that is built of wood is very likely to involve a carpenter. Framing carpenters will put up the wood that makes up the bones of your home. If you’re having a wood floor installed, it may be done by a carpenter — although being a carpenter is not a requirement to install flooring. Trim, baseboards, wainscoting and any other detail work is typically installed by a finish carpenter. The wood boxes of custom cabinets will be built and installed by a carpenter.

Although all of these components in your new or remodeled home are built by carpenters who specialize in building things with wood, a general contractor typically oversees construction of the entire house. If the general contractor is also a carpenter skilled in all these areas, they may well construct your entire home. More often, the general contractor subcontracts out the various building stages to different individuals, including carpenters.

What should I ask a deck contractor?

One of the first questions you should ask is whether the contractor has the proper license or insurance. To be a licensed contractor in many states, they must have the experience and knowledge to pass the requirements from your state’s licensing board. 

You should also inquire if they have done work related to your specific project. Just because they’re a contractor, that doesn’t mean they’ve built a deck or an addition like yours. Ask for photographs of decks they've built in the past, and go online to read reviews from past clients.

You also need to ask for a free estimate from several contractors so you know how much the project will cost you (and so you can pay the best price).

What does a finish carpenter charge per hour?

On average, finish carpenters charge $60 per hour. However, this hourly rate will vary depending on where you live, the scope of the project and other factors. For a more accurate estimate, ask for price quotes from at least three finish carpenters in your area.
