"It has been two months since our new deck has been finished, and we could not be happier with the results. Tom did an excellent job! He built a customized privacy wall that exceeded our expectations. Frank walked us through the process and answered our questions/concerns. We are happy with the whole experience."

"We absolutely love our new composite deck! From start to finish, the timeline was clearly communicated and stayed on track. The quality, project management, and overall experience exceeded our expectations. Our neighbors even wish they had gone with this company for their deck. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend this team!!"

"We can’t say enough great things about this company. From owners, to office staff to their exception work crew. We had interviewed several decking companies. We hired them after a few minutes of speaking to us. We were that impressed . The crew they sent were dedicated professionals, they took pride in their work, the end product says it all. The deck is built to last, the Trex absolutely gorgeous . Do yourself a favor, hire them for your next project, we did! They will reside our home in the Fall! "

"They did a great job of resurfacing my existing 450 sq. ft. wood deck with TREX Select Earth Tones (Saddle) material. They did not just replace the boards, they greatly improved the design and look of the deck."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Clarkston, MI

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.
