Back Porch

Back Porch
What is the average cost of a back porch/deck for a raised ranch home in Massachusetts?

I recently purchased a split entry home in Massachusetts. The home has an existing back porch built off of the dining room. This porch needs to be redone, my husband and I would like to extend alittle bit as well but nothing to fancy. Just trying to get some ballpark figures as to what we can epect to pay. I am terrified of sticker shock!

I do not like giving rough estimates, and the reason why is that no matter how much I try to be accurate–or for that matter anyone else here on Yah–it’s certainly not possible, and our estimate may even be way off the mark because the cost of material and labor GREATLY varies by location; it may be way cheaper in your area than it is in mine or the other posters’. So, really, do yourself a favor and call local deck/porch contractors because you’ll get really bad rough estimates.

So, in fact, for your convenience, you can also seek assistance from the following handyman site link, which includes on its web page a text-link ad that offers up to four (4) Free estimates from local deck/porch contractors who can provide you more information about the job of redoing and extending your porch (when you click on the link below, you’ll be taken to a handyman page where you’ll just scroll down a bit to arrive at the text-link, “Find Local Deck, Fence & Ramp Pros. Get Up to 4 Quotes Now…Free”):

http://yourhandymanzone.com/Your_Handyman_Zone_How_To_Pages_Home_Improvement_Zone_Decks_Porches.htm

Get your free estimates. That way you’ll get information that is relevant to your local area, including relevant costs. The rule of thumb is to get at least three estimates from which to later on choose. Good luck with your project!
