"Huge shoutout to Nick’s Woodwork LLC for our amazing new deck! They gave us a great quote and were professional and punctual throughout the entire build. He listened to and understood our vision, and gave us helpful advice for the things we didn’t think about. His attention to detail is obvious. The deck is perfectly level and exactly what we asked for. If you need woodwork done right, call Nick!"

"Richard and his crew did a terrific job fixing my back porch roof and ceiling that was built only 5 years ago. The previous contractor did a terrible job. The crew was very professional and friendly. They will be installing new flooring next week."

"Great Job. Went above and beyond. Anytime there was a problem or a product that did not perform, they corrected it. They worked with my husband very well and with a very fair price on cedar siding. He creatively helped us with the things that we could do with great suggestions. They completely transformed the property for us."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Real Craftsman and Gentlemen. They respond promptly, they listen to your vision, they give professional feedback, they give straight answers, they went above and beyond on craftsmanship. Everything you could want in a contractor, the least amount of stress possible. If something came up they would ask my preference or resolve it better than what was in the contract at no charge. Everyone that sees the deck is impressed! I will contact them when I am ready to have other jobs done."

"These men did great work! Came out to do the estimate, told me I didn't need full deck replacement, and charged what they quoted. (That last part is a big deal.) I recommend them highly! "

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Auburn-university, AL

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.
