Pamela Farrior says, "From the first appointment with Scott, our remodeling consultant who arrived on time, was professional and knowledgeable, we knew we were going to get just what we wanted .We had a wood deck we loved but it was time to replace so retirement projects would be easier. No more waterproofing or staining necessary with the Trex Enhance.We wanted the exact same design of the original deck. Scott said not a problem. That was what we wanted to hear. We had other contractors tell us there were too many angles, your lower deck is too low or one who was pretty pushy about redoing our lower deck with hard scape. I wanted the exact same design and build, with two railings for safety as we had, and stair lights, period! All of this wanted in a price we had budgeted for.Scott drew up his sketch, took lots of measurements and before he left we had an estimate that was within our budget.Scott told us we would next hear from John, our Project Manager.John texted us with his arrival time and to his word he was here on time. I made notes on his business card he handed menice, professional and made us feel he and his team could do the job. Had a good eye on how to lay the Trex around our angled stairs and how he could work it that our deck would not have a seam down the center. He agreed with Scott on the double frame on the top wider deck and the lower level would have a single frame. We were set and now would just await arrival of materials.The time came for materials delivery and rebuild of deck to start. The dumpster arrived well before the crew so that he could put it where we wanted it. Sammy was an expert getting into our drive and placing it on sleds so as not to mark the driveway.The crew arrived ahead of schedule to see the project and assign tasks. I was amazed how efficiently they popped up the old decking and got all the hardware out. A magnetic roller was used to clean up as they went and in perfect timing for the arrival of the Trex materials. John came and reviewed the job with the crew leader. They understood the plan and got right to work.The men were courteous and proficient at what they were doing. With the precision of true craftsmen, they measured and did checks along the way. We were delighted to see the fluidity with which the crew worked. These men represented the Nexgen name well.Every day the grounds were left tidy and materials organized with safety in mind. We cant say enough about this team. A real pleasure to work with.The project was finished timely, despite some rain .Scott came out to go over the project and to make any notes and check on our satisfaction.This project was finished timely, on budget and above our expectations. We wouldnt hesitate to use them again or recommend them. Photos to follow ."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much is a porch?

It costs about $5,000-$10,000 to build a small, basic porch, according to HGTV. Prefabricated porches typically cost around $10,000-$30,000. Larger, custom-made porches can cost as much as $50,000. 

To find out exactly how much your porch will cost, request a cost estimate from a porch builder near you.

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.  

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.

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).

Get started today by contacting the best deck contractors near you.
