"Allen did a bathroom remodel for us, replacing a tub/shower insert with a nicely tiled walk-in shower. We like it! Thanks, Allen! 5 stars."

"When our hardwood floor was water damaged, the insurance co. wanted us to refinish the entire kitchen and dining area. Clancey was totally open to other ideas. He replaced the damaged area with a beautiful inlay of black walnut and hickory. It surpassed my wildest expectations and we could not be happier. they were fast, professional, and so easy to work with. We, without hesitation, highly recommend him."

"Before the onset of the remodel we discussed options with Samuel as we were under some time pressure. He was open to any project size that suited our needs. Ultimately he was able to provide very high quality solid wood cabinets at a very reasonable price but only in a few color options. If there was an issue with colors, Samuel gave us the option to paint any color. After some back and forth he got the units ordered and delivered in a timely fashion in a color that was a really good option. Samuel was very conscientious and took care of any details or options that seemed to arise. During remodel he actually identified a problem with a recently installed dishwasher that was leaking and waiting on a replacement unit. The Home Depot install crew failed to remove the disposal plug and was backing up into the dishwasher. Samuel found this issue and greatly improved my bargaining position with Home Depot. The whole project which was expanded to include flooring on our entry stairs and bathroom still finished on time and on budget. The flooring is really well placed and finished including the stair risers and noses which was another issue, this time with Lowes ending availability. Although an inconvenience, Samuel identified a good suitable replacement and finished the project from a secondary flooring source. Would highly recommend Samuel and really pleased with his work and the quality of the materials he recommended to us!"

"Patrick was so wonderful to work with! He is extremely professional and communicative throughout the entire process. Shows up on time and always has a walk through with at the end of the day (if you have a multi-day project) to discuss what was completed, what the next days agenda is, and to go over any critiques if you have any so that he can resolve them. He is very attentive to detail and really enjoys what he does which shows in his work! He custom build a Laundry closet for us and we have been so happy with the completed project - we have already booked him for another upcoming custom build in the next month! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a professional finish out carpenter."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Cortez, CO

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.
