    We hired Taft's Construction Services to replace our existing wood deck surface and wood railing. They strengthened the frame and then installed composite decking with aluminum railing. They also expanded the width of the stairs leading from the deck to the patio. John was very responsive and

    John not only built our deck, but he also tore down our previous deck that was due for a rebuild. During his tear down, he noticed water leaks coming into our home and also helped to fix and prevent future issues as a result. While tearing down the deck, we also had him replace our sliding patio

    In the late Spring of 2021 we contracted with Better Builders to replace our aging cedar deck with a new composite deck. Due to a health crisis, we had to indefinitely postpone the project. The team at Better Builders was very understanding and allowed us to cancel the contract with no penalty.

What should you think about when hiring a great deck specialist?

Before you enjoy the sun's rays or cool shade on your lovely brand-new deck or porch, someone has to design it. Selecting the best neighborhood deck professional can make a huge difference, so take the time to get all the details below. This helps you pare down your possibilities to find the greatest community porch contractor in Urbandale for your job.

Insurance and licensing always come first. Ensure the business you select is properly licensed for this type of ob in your area. Mandates vary by locality and sometimes region or region, so reach out to your local licensing board if you have any questions.

Afterward, ask prospective companies if they're covered by insurance. It's in your best interest to only employ insured builders, no matter your job. Insurance helps to make sure you both are covered throughout the job.

Then, research the contractor's experience. Ask whether they've ever completed a job like yours. Also, ask for a portfolio and references. Be certain the company you pick has successfully finished a porch project that matches the style and scale of yours.

Is the deck contractor licensed and insured?

Depending on the type of work and location, decking contractors may credentials. Double check with your local licensing board to learn the prerequisites for your community. Next, question companies to confirm whether they match those prerequisites.

Insurance is equally vital. Make sure you hire pros who carry the proper insurance—it will protect both of you.

Will the deck company complete the project you have in mind?

Porch builders offer a wide array of services, and every professional may have their own specialty. If you need a concrete deck installed, don’t select a professional who only works with Trex or wood.

Does the installer have positive feedback?

Read reviews and ask for recommendations from friends. These suggestions help you choose a respectable business—which can make the work run more smoothly.

Expected price points for pro porch or deck construction or repairs

The size of your deck is generally one of the most influential factors in figuring complete costs of a project. The average cost is $30 to $60 per square foot. That brings the total average cost of decking work in the United States to $4,100 to $11,200.

Some things that may affect the cost of your porch or deck project include:

  • Material. Wood may be the least costly option for a porch, and concrete is typically the cheapest patio material. Brick, composite, and unique materials usually increase the overall cost of a porch. It's important to note, though, prices are regularly changing, and available supply might make one option unexpectedly pricier than others.
  • Complexity. Adding a roof or building a deck with unique geometric shapes can cost more than installing a regular square or rectangular deck.
  • Second-story decks. Building a deck on a higher story can be $2,000 to $5,000 more, on average, than installing a deck on a lower level.

Asking for a quote from professional porch companies in Urbandale is a great way to learn how much your dream deck or patio may end up costing.
