"Excellent craftsmanship! They completely changed the appearance of the deck. I love the composite and the look is very modern. Mr Spinner was easy to work with and his crew were polite, kind, and gave us a deck that will last forever. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new deck or porch but especially for someone doing an update to their deck."

"After completion of our bathroom remodel, we now literally give tours to our friends and neighbors. It's spacious and much safer with the ADA layout and new shower concept. Everybody finds the bright new look to be an investment and an enhancement. It adds value but is safer and that's most important. I next plan for my deck to be torn down and rebuilt and will again use Palmetto Renovations only. I have projects and they have expertise."

"Cantey called quickly to schedule an appointment to look at the areas I had concerns with. They inspected my slap foundation and addressed the areas I was concerned with. They found no issues with my home, but did point out some settling that caused cracking in my front porch. I appreciate that they broke down the processed they presented and warranties that they include. After evaluating and choosing a course of action, I was put on the schedule. The technicians were in constant communication with me throughout the steps and walked me through their work once complete. I am very pleased with the outcomes and should I need any future services (and I hope they understand that I hope it won't be anytime soon), they're my first call."

"Let me start off by saying I have never written a review for anything, but Lakeside offers 50 dollars for any review, good or bad, so why not. I'm about as skeptical and stubborn as they come (and proud of it), so when a salesman shows up at my door offering something that sounds too good to be true, normally they would get a no thank you, and have a nice day. Maybe it was I was concerned about the condition of my roof or the thought of protecting and adding value to my biggest investment but for whatever reason when Kevin Cooke showed up at my door saying he could get me a new roof for the cost of my deductible, I was interested (but skeptical). Kevin explained the process thoroughly, and against my better judgement, I took a "chance". Lakeside had their inspector out the next day to look at my roof, I indeed had storm damage and the ball started rolling from there. Kevin again explained the process a few more times to me, and kudos to him for being patient, informative, and not pushy at all. After deciding I wanted to submit an insurance claim, Kevin handled all the heavy lifting with the insurance company. After the adjuster approved a full roof replacement, it was about 2 weeks and work started. As far as the actual roofers (im guessing typical roofing sub contractors), the work looks good, clean up was good, no leaks after a couple storms and comes with a big piece of mind with a 5 yr craftmanship warranty. Only "issue" Id say was I had requested to Tom (project manager) that id rather them leave the rain diverters off as I was going to be installing gutters. They ended up getting put on with the new roof, which wasnt a biggie i figured I could figure out how to take them off myself later, but a week later I got a call checking on how the work and experience was and i meantioned the rain diverters. It wasnt a few hours later Tom himself was at my house to remove them, kudos to him. Really amazing customer service, and I have no fear if a problem ever arises down the road that they will take care of it. Overall very good experience, and I have a brand new, good looking roof all for the price of my deductible, just as Kevin said. My advice for what its worth is dont hesitate to do business with this company, keep an open mind when Kevin or anyone of their other salesman show up at your door, and for Godsakes invite them inside into the AC, unlike me who made poor Kevin sweat to death because of my skeptisim, door to door sales is tough especially when its 100 degrees outside."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Columbia, SC

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.
