Poltmax is excellent and reasonably-priced. Used them for a couple of jobs that were too big to do myself (not a deck, but big work). Super job every time. Gave them the keys to my house. They've done work all up and down my block and everyone's been happy.

The sunroom/enclosed porch would be on the 1st floor, and a conversion of an existing mudroom I think (but probably make it a little larger - it's tiny!). Agreed that will need someone good to do the structural work properly. Any good leads very appreciated.

Pay a bit more and use Trex for the decking material.
2nd story is a structural challenge so have it done correctly.

Contractor name changes often means the BBB complaints and other negative feedback were piling up. Beware.

Looking for a contractor to do foundation (stucco) repair that's under steps to the backyard, and would like to add a small sunroom/glass enclosed porch while I'm at it. Saw that Family Landscaping (& Contractors) changed their name, but still the same contact (Alex). Any contractor work feedback for them? Any other recommendations? Thank you!!

Hi Kellynate, did you go through with building your deck? Or anyone on this thread happen to have additional input?
I am in a historical district and need to meet condo approval for a potential deck build, am in search of a good contractor for an estimate.

Thanks so much for the information everyone! Thinking of giving Poltmax a call - has anyone else worked with them?

Our neighbors just had their existing deck replaced by Poltmax Contractors. They did a beautiful job and now we are going to have them replace our deck next spring. One of the partners is a structural engineer (who will draft plans) and that's who you need on a job like this, not an architect. Call Ziggie Zdizslaw, one of the other partners, at (570) 242-3083 to have him stop by and give you an estimate. Good luck!

Kellynate, What contractor are you using? Anyone you would recommend? We're building a deck, too.

One contractor mentioned that, because it is a second-story deck, that we "may" need architectural plans in order to get a permit from the city. Does anyone have any knowledge/experience with building a second-story deck downtown. If so, did you have to hire an architect in order to obtain the permit? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
