"I had them pour my driveway and a slab for my shop. The driveway was cracking the very same day. It was cracked from one side to the other all the way through. And my 30x40 is not square and it cost me even more when they installed my metal building because of it being over an inch short on one side. The slab for my building has a low spot that will cover half of the bottom of my boots when rain runs in the front door because the entrances for my roll up doors is slanted towards my building and they put a drain across the front of the doors but it is not angled down so it will drain it?s sitting almost level and it feels up and runs right into my shop. My shop floor is also has several cracks and it?s only 6 months old. When I called them about the cracks in my driveway I was told all concrete cracks and most does but not the very day it was poured. Alex sent his Daddy out here to look at it and he tried to charge me to fix it when I had already spent 18,500.00 with the mess."

"Butler and Associates Construction did a wonderful job on our new driveway. They tore out the old cracked driveway and replaced it with a new smooth and solid surface for our family to enjoy. They were efficient, professional and treated our property with respect leaving a clean worksite each day. We get compliments on our new driveway almost every day from neighbors walking past. Can’t recommend Jonathan and his crew enough!"

"Did a horrible job. David uses low quality wood, screws are missing and unevenly placed, boards are warping badly after 2 months, uses wrong gate hinges and stained wood way too early (1 coat) causing fading and sticky sap. I HIGHLY don?t recommend this dude!!!!"

"They did a fantastic job re-decking and hand rail replacement on my wrap around porch. They presented a thorough quote that detailed what they were going to do and executed on it. They started the job within a few days of my accepting the quote and completed the job in a timely manner. They found issues after the demo of the old porch and adapted the job and updated the quote. I am very happy with the workmanship and would gladly hire them again. "

"They did a great job on our floors...but did not fully disclose what all would and would not be done on the facia/sofit replacement. We agreed to add what we thought was included to the scope of work but his workers would never come back and finish to job so we are left to figure it out. "

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Decatur, AL

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.
