"Tom Burrell recently remodeled our deck, and the results exceeded our expectations. He tore out the old deck, re-leveled the beams, replaced the joists, and installed six 6x6 cedar posts. He used TimberTech composite decking with invisible fasteners for a seamless look, adding a complementary border and middle divider for extra style. He rebuilt the stairs, installed deck lighting along the border, posts, and steps, and added stunning cedar cross-members that perfectly blend modern and rustic design. Tom?s attention to detail is unmatched. He maintained an immaculate worksite, cleaning up daily, and clearly takes pride in his craft. He thoughtfully designed the deck and executed every element with care and precision. Tom is also a veteran and a genuinely kind person. His professionalism, craftsmanship, and work ethic are top-notch. We could not be happier and highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality deck work!"

Rite Way Construction Developer was founded in 2001 by Jim Dunne because of the need for a professional, competent, understanding, action-oriented construction company. Even though we opened doors in 2001, we have more than 20 years of experience in the industry. Through our experiences in the home improvement industry, we realized that homeowners who wanted remodeling work performed, were not being served professionally. This is why we have succeeded in the construction business. Rite Way Construction Developer does not just build additions and custom homes. We help people live better! Rite Way Construction Developer builds relationships by bringing a new light to an industry that has been in the dark for too many years. Rite Way Caonstruction Developer knows that we must communicate with our customers, be honest, respectful and offer fun and excitement during the building process, while creating unique living environments. Whether it's a small addition or large custom home, our belief is to treat a customer's home as a castle. Serving our customers is what we are all about. We understand that serving is what makes us thrive and succeed. And, because of this, we all know that when a homeowner calls us, they have called the right place.
"We contracted Riteway Construction 2021 to have an addition built to our house. The project was completed in 2022. They did a good job initially with procuring materials during COVID as well as getting most of the work done at that time. Jim has a lot of contacts which helped with procuring materials especially during COVID when materials were in shortage due to supply chain issues. One of the major issues during the project and even now after construction had been completed is communication. Throughout the project Jim was either super responsive or very hard to get in touch with. Since the project was finished, we have had issues with water leaks/damage. A few months after finishing the project we had some floor boards that needed to be replaced due to a water leak/unknown water damage, which was from earlier in the construction but never addressed. We tried to contact Jim for 1-1.5 months via text, calls and emails and were unsuccessful in getting touch with him."

Robert prides himself and the business on their hard work ethic, fair pricing, and friendly customer service. We are fully dedicated to your customer satisfaction threw our exceptional customer service. Please call today for an estimate.
"I first contracted Robert for a deck repair and water line repair. I thought he did a good job. He s not as attentive to details. For what I paid I was expecting more. But overall satisfied that I asked if he could replace a faucet in my kitchen. He said yes. I sent him a picture of the faucet I wanted, and he told me that would not work. He sent me a pic of other models to which I found one that I felt was good. But not exactly what I wanted. But I was fine with it. As I was watching him remove the old faucet I knew I was in trouble... I saw Robert use an electric metal saw and saw thru the faucet... which meant there was metal bits flying all over the sink... scratched my counter top and bits fell thru the drain and clogged my garbage disposal. But he did get it out. The water pressure coming out is slow and is not the same. I don t feel this job is his strong suit. I will say that he always responded and is punctual. He did give me a refund. I would add make sure you get it in writing."

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.
