"With a sudden change in living conditions and the need for a wheelchair, we needed changes to hallway and bathroom. MAC went out of their way to accommodate our uncertain schedule for return from rehab. All staff members were polite and in regular communication with us. I wanted a local company and I was very impressed with their detail and good work."

"The main project of turning a screened in porch into a sunroom was completed to my satisfaction. However there was a lack of professionalism in completing finishing touches. Time lines were delayed and delayed again and delayed again. I am happy with the main build but finishing the smaller projects did not seem like a priority. Some of these projects had to be redone as the initial job seemed rushed and shoddy. Communications was primarily through text and there were times I felt a face to face conversation would have served us all better. "

"Good two-man crew did the construction efficiently and effectively. As the son of a carpenter, I could see that the work was done well. The staining was also done well. I certainly recommend this crew and the company."

"This is our second time using Midtown Home Improvements, and they delivered once again. Following a great fence installation in 2021, we hired them for a full siding, fascia, and soffit project this year. The crew was fast but meticulous, prioritizing a clean tear-off and precise alignment. Midtown clearly has a knack for retaining skilled, professional employees. We highly recommend their services!"

"I couldn’t be happier with the cedar steps Imagine Restoration installed in my back garden. They did a great job removing the broken, rotting deck and replaced it with a custom-built set of steps that fit the space perfectly. They even accommodated wider treads for added safety, which made a real difference. They helped me get through the HOA approval with detailed plans, delivered the highest quality craftsmanship, and stuck to a budget that felt more than fair. The end result is beautiful, practical, and built to last. I’d gladly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in De Soto, KS

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.
