"Logan and Brian were outstanding to work with. We were having unprecedented heat conditions during this project and they kept in touch and worked as diligently and safely as they could under these circumstances. The new deck looks awesome and came in at the price we were quoted. I would recommend this company to anyone."

"My kitchen remodel was a total gut job with slight appliance relocations. Ricky and Chad were present everyday from start to finish and this was a very large project. They specialize in perfection and take pride in the outcome. I will hire them for any future home projects. Awesome business and team."

"Following 2018s Hurricane Michael, Florida Intracoastal Builders restored a bedroom, part of a lg. porch and replaced the roof including repairing trusses. The work was Excellent and finished with good timing. The inspector was impressed and I was very pleased. Following Jan. 2024s tornado, I contracted with them a 2nd time for more extensive work. The AMAZING team rebuilt the garage including trusses, Master Bdrm., 3 closets and 2 bathrooms and more. They replaced electricals, plumbing, flooring, A/C unit, HWH, well house extension and water softening equipment. Also, windows, updated hardiplank siding, multiple doors, insulation, the roof, gutters, painted (inside and outside) and provided extras I requested.....ALL WITH EXCELLENT QUALITY. The team worked consistently until complete. They kept the property, inside and outside, clean and free of nails and clutter. I am 100 % Satisfied. Each inspection passed with praise. They receive my highest recommendation. M.K H. "

"I'm writing this review for the excellent work they did on to home projects. I started off with wanting my 1960 bathroom remodeled and started looking for a company that would do a good job and want I wanted. I had 10 different local companies come out to give me a bid on the job. The job consist of taking out a sliding glass door with block and a window and filing in the garden tub floor to be level with the floor. Replacing the drop ceiling with real drywall, ceiling fan vent , and lights on ceiling and sunken shower. And then all new walls, floor and all new fixtures. Because of the sunken tub and sliding glass door and the extent on demo of 1960 bathroom. Not one single company except Finest Builders would take on the demo. NOT ONE! Yes, all of the companies could do the job at a higher price than Finest Builders but they would not touch the sliding glass door and sunken tub. Only Jonathan Bourassa the owner of Finest Builder would take on the job. Jonathan came to my house and was very professional and polite. He looked at the job and said he could do the job. The price was real good also. Just imagine! They could do everything I wanted at a good price. HEAVEN! Jonathan shower up with his employee Steve and started the demo. I was really hard work because the walls were 9'' of concrete and plaster. I was really impressed with the demo work. Jonathan does all his own work with Steve so they are the only people you work with. No other side contractors. After the bathroom was gutted the bathroom sliding door was replaced with block and a window. The garden tub shower was filled in with concrete. Through all the week they worked on the bathroom. Showing up at 0800 until they were done for the day. I always got a email from Jonathan if something stopped him from coming. LOVED THAT! Jonathan even stopped the job because I went to Italy for 10 days. He immediately came to work on the bathroom when I got back. I pretty much left the design of the bathtub shower to Jonathan. Boy was I impressed with the outcome. After all the work they did, my bathroom was now an Oases! Just Beautiful.! Gone were the sliding doors and garden tub/shower, sunken ceiling, old orange tile and outdated cream floor and outdated bathroom cabinet and fixtures. In its place was a bathroom that looked larger, was done in all white tile and white bathroom cabinets and sink and larger soaking tub/shower. Along with all new walls, ceiling and wood flooring. The dedication and quality of work from these to were just outstanding. They were very trustworthy like a family member.. I also had them come back and lay a 13x24 slab of concrete patio the length of my house. Once again for a really good price and fast and clean work. I would recommend Finest Builders for any single female or couple for the job. Top rated work. I wish I could post the pics of the work. IT was wonderful. Thanks, Finest Builders for all the hard work. Will be using you for my next project."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Clearwater, FL

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.
