"At first, I was glad to have hired Deck Buddy LLC, but at the end IK was totally disappointed that I hired them. I really hate to write this review; but I gave the company plenty of time and ever chance to fix a problem that occurred at the end. Initially they did a pretty good job and responded to my request to fix a problem, he was so responsive that when it was time to make the last payment; even though the company was not completely finished; I made the last payment. A big mistake. Once that final payment was done and the check cleared, the kindness ended. Alone with the deck I hired them to resurface my patio. He did it twice and the workmanship was very poor and I called him back for a third time and he refused. Even the contract we both signed had a workmanship clause that the company would not honor. The Contractor's name was Doru Pricope. I think as long you owe the company money; they will make sure that you were satisfied, I made the big mistake and paid off before I was completely satisfied. And I asked him to come out and inspect the patio and he refused. I asked him about the workmanship clause in the contract and why he would not honor it, he would not answer this question. But he did say: I did it twice and will not come out a third time because he will not make any money; and for me to hire someone else to do the work. I asked him to fix it or give my money back that I paid to have the patio done--he did refund me or fixed the patio. I even tried several times to get ahold of the office Manager by text, email and phone; with no luck. The phone number was not a working number stated by the recording when I dialed the number that was online. I do not recommend hiring this Company; because they did not honor their contract and satisfactorily complete the job with me."

"He repaired the siding and painted the entire exterior of the house and stained the deck in less than 5 days. The house looks beautiful now. He gave me a fair price and finished the work on time as he promised. He works and his crew are very polite and professional. Every day he greeted us when he came and notified us when he left and asked our opinion about the color of the paint very early in the process. He paid attention to details and did extra work without charge (power washed the drive way and fixed one of the handrail boards of the deck). We were very traumatized by the previous contractor who did the deck. But with Alex. We felt so much better. I will definitely recommend him with a big A+."

"I take great pride in the work I do, and my biggest satisfaction is seeing customers' faces light up when they see my finished work. I believe in taking any extra effort needed to ensure quality work, whether working extra hours or being available weekends and after hours to make sure the job is completed quickly and done right. My customers always come back to me, and I take this as a great compliment and truly appreciate it." Milenko Bogajcevic MENTIS Home & Garden General Manager
"Someone from the company, Mentis contacted me right away after my search on Angi. I needed the legs of my granddaughter's wooden desk reattached. The individual asked me to send a photo and gave me a quote based on the photo. We scheduled a time for an agent to come see the job and give what I thought would be another quote or a confirmation of the quote I'd already given me. Milanko, the handyman from Mentis arrived on time and ready to work. After he fixed the desk, he assembled my granddaughter's day bed. Included is a photo of the broken desk. Unfortunately, I can't send a photo of the repaired desk or bed because the photos are too large. I'll send them to Mentis and ask them to post. Both the desk and bed rails are sturdy and I paid less than the quote over the phone. That's what I call trustworthy. I'd hire him again and do business with Mentis again. 5 STARS"

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.
