"I hired Michael Boyer to replace my old deck in Newberry, FL. He responded quickly and scheduled a visit within a few days. During his visit he listened to my requests and made intelligent suggestions to improve upon the existing design. Due to a gap in his schedule, he was able to start immediately once I chose his quote. It only took him 4 days to demolish and haul away the old deck and build the new one from the ground up after levelling the job site. I was impressed from Day 1 with his work ethic and his attention to detail. It was very important to him to do the job right. No detail was too small and he didn’t hesitate to ask for my preference on anything that he was unsure about. He used extra concrete in the holes of the support poles to make sure they will be sturdy in high winds. He maintained a clean work area and left my yard as he found it. He even used a pressure sprayer to lightly rinse the deck off prior to my final approval. All in all, I highly recommend hi"

"Michael did a great job painting the entire interior of the house (walls and ceilings) and even touched up the woodwork though that was not part of the agreement. He also painted the deck. He’s very meticulous and pleasant to work with. I recommend him highly."

"Needed my front door replaced. My requirements were inexpensive and quick -- Lamont at 2nd2None provided both. He picked up the door from the store, showed up when he said he would, replaced the door, and moved the knob and lock from the old to the new. He was always responsive to calls or texts. Work was done quickly and adequately. He even hauled off the old door for me."

"To replace a roof on your home can be an overwhelming event. But the professionals at Total Home Roofing bring unparalleled experience to the job that clears the fog of uncertainty about replacing your roof. During our first visit from Travis, he walked us through what to expect with replacing our roof. He was available for follow-up questions and was always honest and clear about the process. After the job was complete, he even called back to make sure we were satisfied, and everything was as we discussed. Then came the actual replacement of the roof! The Supervisor of our project was Eduardo, who was just as amazing as Travis. He was constantly communicating about what was happening and what to expect during the process. He let us know that if we had any questions or concerns, to contact him, and he would resolve or clarify so we were fully informed. Anytime I called Eduardo, he answered the phone and was available. Then if that wasn’t enough, I received daily updates from the main office of what was going on the day before and what to expect that day. Total Home Roofing made this daunting process less stressful. They went out of their way to communicate and walk with us through this event. Thank you, Total Home Roofing, Travis, and Eduardo!"

"Joe Naples and his crew went above and beyond our expectations. The deck they constructed was beyond what we expected. They performed all their duties in a most professional and a yet very personal manner. We can't express enough of our gratitude for the job they did. We even had a follow up visit by one of his team members today just to check in and see how we were enjoying our new deck. Thank you Joe Naples and your crew for a job well done. We look, forward to working with you guys on future home projects."

"This company was absolutely fantastic to work with, from the initial sales appointment to the installation to several months after the installation when we requested documents.  Every person we came into contact with was polite and professional, and all of our calls and emails were returned promptly.  The work crews that came out were so nice that I bought them pizza for lunch to thank them for their hard work.

We had several (as in, probably at least ten) roofing companies come out to give us an estimate to replace our shingle roof with a metal roof.  Solar Shield was the first we contacted.  I don't recall the name of the sales person who came to our house to go over the product and the process, but he was phenomenal (he was an older gentleman; my husband says he looks like Packers coach Mike McCarthy!).  I realize that that's his job as a salesperson, but after getting taken in by a window company salesman in our much younger days, I'm a skeptic and a hard sell.  He was very thorough in explaining the process and the product to us, down to the exact screws they would use and the method they used to screw the roof to the deck, and made sure to answer all of my questions (I ask a LOT of questions so that I know what I'm getting into), and after evaluating the product and reading reviews online, we were fairly certain we would be going with Solar Shield.  He gave us a price of $25000 for our roof, which sounds insanely high after getting estimates of around $12000 to replace the roof with another shingle roof, and we wanted to do our due diligence before signing.  Our house is a single story with an area of about 2500 square feet and a hipped roof with a few bump outs and an elevated porch roof, and the layout is in an L-shape, so it's not just a square house with a simple gable roof.
 
After the Solar Shield presentation, we had a lot of other companies come out to gives us estimates, which ranged in price from $18000 to $32000, so Solar Shield's price was literally right smack in the middle.  The $18000 estimate didn't even include wind mitigation or to remove the old roof/repair the roof deck; the guy said it wasn't necessary.  Um, how do you know my roof deck is in good shape if you're just going to plop another roof right on top of it?  Please see comment where my roof was leaking.  No, thanks.  None of the other estimates included wind mitigation, either, and their products were all substandard to the Solar Shield product (this is why I ask so many questions).  I'm of the belief that when you get multiple comparable estimates, your safest bet is typically to go with the one in the middle.  So not only was Solar Shield's product the best, in my opinion, but they were also right in the middle of all of the estimates I got.

My only complaint is that it took four months for them to start work on my roof.  I know it wasn't their fault, because they had other jobs ahead of me and we had a very rainy fall so they kept getting pushed back, but it was just frustrating because my roof was leaking and I needed it done ASAP.  However, they were amazing at keeping me updated on the status of my job when I would call or email.

Once they started work, the job was done in about a week (it's been five months; I don't remember exactly how long it took).  They were so incredibly thorough that even my incredibly nosy neighbor, who is constantly sitting in her front yard spying on the neighbors, mentioned that they did an amazing job.  That same neighbor, when I told her we were getting a metal roof, looked down on us and said "Is that even legal?" because she didn't think it would look good and was trying to convince us not to do it.  After it was done, she said it looks amazing compared to all of the other roofs in the neighborhood.  I'm slightly (okay, a lot) anal retentive, and a lot of minute little things that other people wouldn't even notice annoy the crap out of me, and once I notice them, I fixate on them.  There is not one thing about this roof that I have found a problem with.  No exaggeration, every single day when I drive up to our house I notice the screws on the roof, which are visible (they are meant to be), and I notice how perfectly straight across they are.  There is literally not a single screw out of line; trust me, if there was, I would have noticed it.

Even after the fact, the company has been very responsive.  I emailed Renee, the office manager, several months after the roof was completed to request the wind mitigation documents so I could get homeowners insurance estimates (I honestly probably should have been sent the documents much sooner, but whatever, I wasn't in a hurry).  She had the documents and pictures mailed to me within a day or two, including an additional packet for our records.

I would absolutely recommend this company to any of our friends or family who are interested in a metal roof.  The roof is insanely quiet, and a lot of times when it rains we can only tell if it is downpouring really hard or it's just a really loud storm.  I only wish they also did solar panels, since we would like to have some installed and with their service record we're sure they would do an excellent job (they did offer to come our for a free consultation whenever we do get solar panels, to make sure the solar panel company installs them onto our roof properly, which I thought was very good customer service).

Update on 7/28/2015: We were shopping for new homeowners insurance and showed the insurance our wind mitigation form to get the wind mit credit.  Our insurance agent said that the wind mitigation options that were done on our house was the best she had ever seen (there are different levels of wind mitigation apparently, and all of ours were the highest).  Just one more reason why this company did a great job!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Cortez, 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.
