His price is fair for the high craftsmanship and materials used on both our projects. The guys were fast, under two weeks and done. Very neat. All old materials removed quickly from our property. I highly recommend Dan and Elite Decks + Home Improvement ! Rosemary A."

"When they say that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, that pot of gold is Dynoflip Construction. We received a recommendation of Dynoflip upon stopping in to No Maintence Decking and described the project we were planning. Our project included a new deck, to be partially covered with a gable roof, along with an outdoor fireplace, installing a new sliding glass door, as well as a new roof for the house. Right from our first meeting with Ram, he saw our vision and added his professional insights on materials, lighting, stonework, and details. There was no need for us to go any further to find another contractor. At the outset of the job there was continued communication ensuring that we were happy with the progress and if there were any questions. Ram would have suggestions during the project to pass by us that he thought would add to the deck. There was never anything additional done by Ram that he wouldnâ t run by us first. The Dynoflip crew are top notch, from the moment they arrived till the end of the work day. There were many days during this project that they worked thru rain and very cold temperatures. There was electrical and plumbing work required on this project. The technicians Ram brought in were very professional and worked with us for everything that we needed. All the work is up to code. We have not been disappointed with the completion of the work, it has gone beyond our expectations. We love the results of this project. The worksmanship is just top notch. The pleasure we took was seeing that Ram was so happy with the results as well. Once the TV was hooked up he was ready to stay the night. LOL. We are already talking to Ram to have him come back next year and do masonry work for us in the front of the house as well as reside the entire house. My brother in-law is now currently going to use Ram to have a new roof on his house. Ram and his workers were so appreciative when we would offer a coffee to them in the morning. Nothing but smiles and thank yous. We are just over the top with Ram and would highly recommend Dynoflip for your next project. I guess I could go on for ever, but you will not be disappointed. He is worth the wait if he is backed up with jobs."

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.
