"Chris with Friesen Family Renovations, LLC was very professional and thorough in the work he has completed. He installed a new screen door, replaced my tub stem and faucet, repaired my subfloor in the kitchen and installed brand new LVP flooring to replace old and water damaged flooring. He also mounted a television for me, and did some drywall repairs as well. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for quality and dependable work!"

"I could not be happier with the work done by TruMetalRoofing. Jake and the crew were very professional and great to work with. The porch needed to be removed from the house and rebuilt. They also helped me with adding a deck and walkway. The deck and walkway are enclosed with railing and gates. This 100 + year old house now looks beautiful and updated. Any work in the future will be done by this contractor!"

"I was in need of a fence for my backyard, and I turned to my neighborhood Facebook group to ask for recommendations. Multiple people recommended LP Fencing, specifically highlighting the wonderful customer service. I reached out, and from the start, Luis was kind and helped turn my idea into my ideal fence. His team completed it in just a few days, and he kept me updated throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Luis for any of your fencing or decking needs!"

"BD Innovations responded to my posting immediately. Mr. Feliks Petrosiants came the next day and provided a quote on the spot. He offered to do additional work that was needed in connection with the fence repair, all of which was well below the other quotes that I received. He and his associate worked diligently, and upon completion, he made a small repair to my porch railing for no charge. He is very courteous and professional, and I will indeed contact him when I need work done in the future."

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.
