"We were very happy with Yeager Home Improvement. Their price was fair, the work was excellent, and they communicated very well. They were more creative than other bidders, and we ended up with a deck that not only does what we wanted, but also has the style and feel of our property. We would not hesitate to hire them again! Excellent contractor! "

"They were great. At first asked them to build two porches one with the roof. Told them I need the porches one step down from the doors. They agreed they got done with the porches notice that there was no one step down. Told them about it and nothing was done. Inspector came out four times. Had toHad to get them to redo a few things they didn't do right. Was very upset. Been trying to get a contract from them for the last year and a half. They also took all of the receipts and sent them to Menards to get the rebate which should have been mine since I paid for all of the supplies. far as I'm concerned that's taking money from the customer. That should have been the customers. Have been trying to get them to send me a contract for over a year. Got nothing. Told me they had a permit for the porch before they started because I have permits for everything that was done outside of my home because that is required where I live. No permit for porches. No they want more money to drop porches."

"The old shed was torn down with skill and rubbish dropped directly into a dumpster. The site was prepared and then the construction began. This was an 18 x 30 foot all metal pole barn with three windows, manual garage door, and entry door. It was put together quickly and looks great."

"I talk to the owner Donaven and discussed the work needed. I wanted him to install wood fence post 36â deep and I would do the rest. We agreed on a price but he did not present a contract to me. He was to start on a Monday and did not show up until 12:30pm because he thought it was going to rain. Had trouble digging the holes with his rented auger and had to leave and get another one with a sharper blade. Next day he did not show up until 10am then he had to leave at 1pm and returned about 3 hours later. When I checked the depth of the holes that evening I found the holes to be anywhere from 12â to 24 deep and most were 17 . (The frost line in Ohio is 32-36 depending on the area. ) I called and told him about the issue and said he would be out to look at them. When he showed up he looked at the depth and said he did not want to redo his work and wanted to part ways and I said that was fine with me. The next day he showed up at 10am and wanted to reconsider and finish the job. I said no thanks because I had already hired another contractor to dig the holes to the proper depth. Not only did I have to hire another contractor but he left me 8 post 16 long that I had to cut in half. Although he seemed like a nice guy I would not hire this company as I feel they are not experienced and knowledgeable about building fences."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Ashland, OH

To maximize your budget, compare quotes of several builders that fit within your specifications. Don’t be afraid to draw a wider geographic circle if the contractor is willing to travel without charging more. But affordability only matters if you get a quality deck out of it.

Cutting corners or simply finding the cheapest pro could result in significant problems. The materials used may be cheap and rot quickly. The support the surface provides might be unstable and dangerous. Always consider the long-term costs and benefits of quality work. Paying less upfront may actually be more expensive if you consider the cost of repairs.

Deciding on which materials you should use depends entirely on the type of deck you’re looking for. Composite works well for a simple surface exposed to harsh elements, while concrete is the standard choice for many patios. Your decking material options can range from wood to aluminum. Learn about the pros and cons of these materials to make the right decision.

You can build a deck during any season, which is why choosing the right time for this project depends on your preferences:

  • Spring: get your deck ready in time for landscaping and to enjoy it throughout the warmer seasons.

  • Summer: use spring for the planning process, then get the project ready before it gets cold out.

  • Fall: Limit turf or landscape damage by building once most plants begin to recede.

  • Winter: make the excavation process easier, thanks to cold and firm ground.

Many deck builders prefer winter, which is also the season with the shortest waiting queues. Still, other seasons are far from impossible for this type of project.

Expect a thorough examination of the space, and the development of a project schedule. Delivery of materials might already have occurred or could be planned at this point.

Additional research about working with deck builders can help you understand what to expect from experts, and what they expect from you.

Make sure the site of the deck or patio is clear of any landscaping and debris. The contractor will also call a utilities locator service to mark power, water, cable, and other services around the area where they will be digging. The cleaner the area your builder has to work with, the more quickly they can get started. Make sure they have space to park any construction vehicles. Find a dry space for materials that might need storage during the install. Finally, ensure clear access to the site through your house or property.

When it comes to the DIY vs. hire a pro decision for your deck, the answer tends to be clear. Only take it on yourself if you have significant expertise and experience. Without either, you risk building a faulty exterior space, leading to injury risks. Projects built without necessary expertise also break more quickly, making them more expensive in the long run.

If you do want to take on decking as a DIY project, be sure to do your research. Learn about installing the posts and footing for your framing. Understand how to lay decking boards and build the railings and stairs you need for access and security.
