- Eco-Friendly Options Among Wood, Composite, and Plastic Decking
- BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (7/21/2009)
- New Jersey deck builder Gustavio del la Cruz says his Millston Township remodeling company, Barrett Contracting, is "in the direction of being green," but that it's hard to nail down which decking products are eco-friendly.

With no green standards in the deck-building industry, many remodelers likely don't know, either.

- PROFESSIONAL DECK BUILDER Online (6/22/2009)
- Unlike decks, porches provide shelter from rain and relief from sun. Screened, they keep out insects. The roof that makes it all possible raises the level of difficulty of the build, whether you're talking about engineering footings to handle extra loads, trimming out the walls and ceiling, or framing and shingling the roof itself. Even so, most of the skills required to build a porch you already use when you build a deck.
