"I have had over 45K of work or product from this company. I am writing this review as I tried to solve problem with the company with no luck. I went through BBB complaint and they took too long to resolve it and then told me that I was over the time frame. I had hardy siding, a 12x48 deck, 16 x 48 deck, 10 x 20 shed and they also installed my AC unit. The hardy install was subpar and had rework needed to be done at a later date. I had no issues with the AC install other than there was no asking where I wanted it, they just came and put it wherever they wanted it. I did have a housing inspector come out and inspect the front and back decks to document the deficiencies. The Back deck which is the 12x48 with covered roof I haven't had too many issues with even though the deck is not built to code. The back deck is also not level anymore due to the post not being concreted into the ground as per code. The majority of my issues have come from my front deck alone. This deck is 16 x 48 covered deck. There is no wood larger than 2 x 6 used. To start off with the deck sits approximately 5 ft off the ground at the furthest point from the house. There are approximately 40 4 x 4 post used on the front deck which are not sufficient but of the 40 only 6 are concreted in the ground. The deck spans 16 feet and they used a 2 x 6 x 16 beam to support the deck with a 4 x4 supported laterally not vertically at the 8-foot mark. If using on a 2 x 6 code calls for post more often so there are many 4 x 4 posts missing under the deck. All my post are on pavers. Some have come off the pavers. My deck has sunk over an inch on the North side. The joist span is not correct for using a 2 x 6. The joist are running 12 foot and shouldn't run that far. The only metal hardware that was used in the deck was the hardware to set the 6 outside 4 x 4 post in concrete. I would never use the business after finding out the amount of code violations in my deck and wouldn't recommend them."

"DO NOT HIRE. Unprofessional, uncommunicative and poor workmanship. As a homeowner, I have never come across a company as unprofessional and difficult to work with as Queta Construction. Once I paid them for my fence, their communication and willingness to repair my poorly built fence went downhill. On their first day on the job, they arrived two hours late and “accidentally” tore down my neighbors gates. Although they agreed to repair them at no cost, this still prompted problems with my neighbor. After their first day on the job, they left cement, trash, hardware, bottles and their materials littered all over my yard and did not notify me when they were leaving or returning the next day. On the next day, I noticed that they had installed one of the posts on my neighbors property line and when I pointed it out, they responded with “yeah we did that so it wouldn’t press against the tree”. When I asked them if they could put the post back on my property line, they pulled out the post that had already set in cement and reused it by digging a larger hole and pouring more cement. In their contract under provision 7, it states “contract warrants all workmanship for a period of one year following completion”. In addition, provision 1 states “all work shall be completed in a workmanship like manner and in compliance with all building codes and other applicable laws”. It has been less than one year since my fence was installed and 5-6 of the boards of my fence were not nailed down properly, both of my gates would not open and Queta construction is refusing to replace the post that is consequential damage of their team installing a post off of the property line and reusing the same post after it had set. To top it off, I was told that my post split due to “sun damage” even though I paid for cedar, weather treated lumber. Queta agreed to nail down my posts and fix my gates, but only after not showing up for the job on 3 separate occasions. I would not hire them again and wanted to share my experience with photos as evidence of their negligence to follow through."

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.
