Decks and porches can elevate your quality of life several notches. Done right, they add to the look and value of your home and create outdoor spaces for parties, stargazing or just hanging out, cocktail in hand, watching the world go by. Decks are usually open air and built in the back or on the sides of the home. Working out a budget before you start is essential, and before you can nail down the costs, you'll want to make some decisions about the direction of the project. Consult with a decking contractor about every step of the process so you're sure to get the best product for your budget.
