"The contractor was here on time, every day until the job was finished. I absolutely love my custom deck. He was very meticulous but quick. The price was very reasonable and well below the high-priced quotes I received for the same job."

"When we were having issues with our rentals plumbing, we reach out to Alex and he did not hesitate to come over and find out the issue. Knowing very well we could not do it ourselves, we hired him to get it done. Not only was he courteous and knowledgeable, he was able to fix our backing up problem swiftly. He is very professional, the work he provided fixed our issues in a timely manner and his rate was very resoanable. I highly recommend Cothren Plumbing and construction for any of your needs!"

"Early Nov. 2014 - We called Jerry asking for a quote. He quickly responded and even came on a Saturday so my husband could be there. We found Jerry to be very knowledgable. He provided excellent insight into what we actually could and couldn't hope to achieve in our extremely small bathroom in a nearly century old house.

We are very new to contractors, contracting and best hiring practices.

We informed Jerry that we wanted to hire him. We explained that we would be seeking a home repair loan & asked for a written quote. Jerry explained that, due to the unknown extend of mold, it was hard for him to say what the total cost would be. So, he couldn't really write me a quote. He did say that, depending on the mold & the fixtures we bought - the job was likely between $6k and $12k.

Nov. 26, 2014: Loan completed - We immediately contacted Mr. Hunt to inform him and ask what could formally be done to secure his services. Due to a family member's hospice care and the holiday season - we stated that we would like to get started after New Years. We offered a deposit and Mr. Hunt graciously declined. He didn't ask for a contract to be signed since the potential cost was so varied.

Jan. 2, 2015: We met with Jerry and his son at Home Depot to coordinate our preferences and discuss design ideas. I had asked about replacing the tub with a shower and moving the toilet into the newly emptied space. I honestly take full responsibility for throwing out this completely new design idea - thus taking us back to the drawing board. AT THIS MEETING - IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Jerry & his son were absolutely amazing help to us as we navigated a wealth of options we had never noticed in bathroom decor before. Then, when I tossed out my radical idea - Jerry's son was quickly taking pen to paper and drawing as Jerry painted my thoughts into words. We agreed that Jerry would contact a plumber to assess the ability to move the toilet.

Mid January 2015. Jerry brought the plumbing company in to assess the potential toilet move. The plumber had several ideas & concerns to check on and did call me back in the following week or so with questions. Both Jerry & the plumber were to meet, go over the results of their research and then contact us.

Over the next month, Jerry was having some personal matters that were slowing his progress. But, his Angie's list ratings for staying with a job were good. I insisted that he take care of what he needed to - but.....he always insisted he would get back to me 'next week'.

Feb. 28, 2015 Saturday: I called Jerry. I was hoping to find out what could be done to get this project going. Again, he was in the midst of recently happened personal concerns that required his attention - rightly so. I did hire Mr. Hunt in November and asked that we not start until January - due to our own family/holiday concerns. We have no issue with showing compassion. . Jerry apologized and, as I offered to start coordinating on his behalf - he insisted that, as general contractor, HE was responsible and would contact the plumber the following week. He firmly stated that he would call me back 'if not that week - then no later than the following one'.

I decided that I would wait for Mr. Hunt to make the next contact.

I never heard from him again.

Maybe I did something that chased him off? I can't figure it out though. We're fairly nice folk and we had cash to pay. Our question about moving the toilet appeared to be reasonable and that decision was done by early February and coordinated through contact directly with the plumber. Basically, whatever percent extra normally billed by General for such service would've been easy money. We were never told the issue was overbooking or job related. It's all just.....odd.

"Dutch and his partner, Mike, put down our hardwood flooring for us in just a few days! Before our floor was laid, they took a wall down in our kitchen which gave us a wonderful open "great room". They were incredible workers. Dutch has so much experience that he was able to figure out some real tough situations we had with wiring and plumbing after the wall was down. Mike was excellent at crawling up in the attic and helping Dutch reroute all the exposed wiring. I've never seen two guys work so hard and put in such long days. They were incredibly fast at their work and I would highly recommend them for any remodeling job. Very nice guys!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Douglas, WY

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.
