"The carpenter that did the job (Adam) was amazing. He had to expand the space for one window, narrow the space for another, and repair much cedar siding that had rotted away due to water damage. He also reshaped my patio door so it would close and lock more easily. He is a very talented carpenter and I have no qualms about highly recommending him."

"This is a LONG OVERDUE and SERIOUSLY NEEDED review. I am truly surprised this crew of amazing workers do not have more reviews by now. I am a serious procrastinator and I also wanted to see how it all held up and how warm winter was before posting a review. I started with needing a teardown and rebuild of a deck that extended off the house since the ledger board was rotting and not at all safe. We ended up finding termites and followed the termite damage and then found out I had ZERO insulation in the house. This turned into removing 2 layers of exterior siding on the house, removing the old style sheathing to get to the studs around the entire house to look for termite damage and in turn we ended up repairing the termite damage, re-sheathing the entire house with zip panels and zip tape rolled on, redoing all the window trim and siding along with installing a rain screen and exterior insulation over the zip panels. They never gave me any complaints or forced me to go with the ways they wanted like most contractors would do. I would tell them, they would look, we would talk about it and Oscar was always asking if it was good before doing the the rest. I wanted mineral wool in my house walls since they were exposed. Mineral wool is fireproof and a good sound barrier (wow it makes a world of difference - I cant even hear the wind unless I have my ears next to a window now) . I could write a novel on how much work was done. I never expected to do that much but Oscar and the crew were willing to help me out. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting up with me and how I wanted things done. Everyone on the block compliments the work done and how amazing it looks, our family loves it, I love it, we are comfortable and at peace of mind. (termite bait stations were put in and as we also redid everything we bought a termite borate spray and sprayed the entire sill plate (mudsill) and bottom 6 ft of the house and new zip panels as we put them up. we even waterproofed the bottom 3ft front and back of the panels with liquid flashing to prevent future rot , even behind the ledger board and higher. Just amazing! We saved an entire tank of oil (250 gallons) this year by doing this. May not seem like much but hey, 0 insulation to about r-15 in the walls (2x4) and exterior insulation 1" R-4 (wish I did more but then windows needed more pvc to bump-out and pvc is getting pricey) . So r-0 to r-19! When I get more money I hope this crew is still doing their work, I'll be looking for them first! Tons of pictures taken, please use them!"

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.
