"Told us they would come on the 22nd. Came on the 2nd instead. As a 'make good', they promised they would haul away some garbage. Didn't haul away anything and blamed us when we complained. Tore down a section of our neighbors fence without their approval, and then tried to gouge him to put up a new one, and when they complained, they were going to put up the old fence which they had run a chainsaw through. The work was mediocre, and they left garbage and nails(I have dogs who could have been hurt) all over the place. When I tried to give feedback in good faith, he blamed me. Not to mention they tore the fence down on a Friday(the 22nd was a Thursday and the job would have been done before the weekend), didn't put up any sort of temporary fence, and then went on their Easter holiday Friday around 1pm. We had to make sure our dogs didn't go into the backyard for 4 days because of this. If they had come on the 22nd, our dogs would have had 1 evening of not being able to go outside. Didn't dig the postholes and add cement until minutes before they built the fence(could have done this Friday). The fence looks 'okay'. Really disappointing, since they had such positive reviews on Yelp."

C&M Construction is a coastal Orange County business. Ryan and Joe and committed to bringing high quality work to each and every job.
"I had built and painted the new wood patio cover kit (cross beams, rafters, and slats) and had all the needed new hardware to assemble the new structure. I provided detailed construction plans to all the vendors. Some vendors did not work with wood only Aluminum or Vinyl, and others were not interested in what to them appeared to be a "too small" a job. Luckily, Ryan was more than happy to do the work and it quickly became apparent that he was also capable of doing the job. Ryan is also very professional, he communicates very clearly via texts and telephone calls. His estimate for the work was very reasonable from both a price and schedule point of view. I quickly felt that with Ryan I was dealing with a very responsible and honest hardworking professional. We settled on a price and schedule for the job. One day to demolish and haul away the old patio cover, and a second day to install the new patio cover kit I had put together. On the scheduled day to start the work, Ryan and Joe showed up right on the agreed time. They worked to demo the patio cover and very carefully and safely took the entire structure down. I was hoping to re-use the two 6x6 columns but they had some wood rot and so we decided it would be best to replace them with new lumber. Ryan, adjusted the estimate to get the new 6x6 post lumber and do the work. Just as with the original estimate, Ryan's estimate was extremely reasonable and fair. It's a great sign when a vendor's update to a project is completely honest on both price and labor. So I gave them the go ahead to do this additional work. They completely cleaned up my backyard after having done all the demolition. On the day scheduled for them to install the new wood patio cover, Ryan and Joe once again showed up exactly on time. They got to work right away installing the new patio cover. Installation is a longer process than demolition, but in the span of eight hours or so they had completed the installation. The quality and workmanship of Ryan and Joe is top notch. When they finished, my new patio cover was stunning, and once again they cleaned the entire job site. I have other projects around the house that need to be done. Ryan will be the first and only guy I will call when I get around to do them. I highly recommend Ryan and Joe for any work needed around the house !"

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9 per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
Yes, adding either a porch or deck (or both!) to your home can add value. Both of these features add character and curb appeal to your home, but even more importantly, they add an element of convenience. Plus, these home features create additional square footage of living space to your home. Adding a porch onto your home can give you a return on investment (ROI) of up to 84%, while adding a deck can provide an ROI of up to 80%.
Several types of porches are available to meet your needs and style preferences. Some common porch types include:
Porticos are essentially a roof over a walkway leading to the home's front entrance.
Sunrooms are closed-in porches that are an extension of the house with glass or plastic panels that allow optimal sunlight.
Wraparound porches extend around the entire home, or at least the front and one side, and offer multiple entrances to the house.
Back porches are an extension of the home’s floor into the outdoors. These offer more protection and privacy than a deck.
As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:
Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings.
Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard.
Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety.
Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.
