"Built to Last Construction was recommended to my husband and me by his brother. They remodeled my bother-in law's kitchen and built him a beautiful deck, which is featured on their website at https://www.b2lconstruction.com. We hired them to remodel our kitchen. It turned out beautiful. Tom even built pull out drawers for my cupboard panty and added a heat vent along the floor. The extra time and detail they took to get it just right was amazing. I recommended them to a friend who is keeping them busy with projects at her home. My friend recommended them to someone else who has had a hard time finding someone to update her deck. She will not be disappointed."

"We first had our back deck replaced and were so happy with the results that a year later we signed up to have them replace our front porch. Even though it was snowy and cold out the crew did a great job. We would highly recommend using GreenShield the whole process went very smoothly. We love our deck and porch."

"This company did an excellent job from start to finish. I was initially presented with a variety of plans. The presentation of those plans was very thorough and complete. Everything was very straightforward and relatively easy to understand. This really facilitated the decision-making process. Once the project was underway, the deck was worked on more or less continuously, until it was fully completed. I truly appreciate it how the worker stayed focused day after day and completed this project in a very timely fashion. Additionally, I also greatly appreciated the attention to detail and the high-quality workmanship. It should also be mentioned that the materials used were also of superior quality. This deck should last anywhere from 25 to 30 years based on the materials utilize for construction. Another significant bonus to this project was working with the staff. They were genuinely nice, friendly, professional, and highly competent. All in all, this is a very rewarding experience!"

"T&J finished our basement for us including building a full bath, drywall, installing crown molding, laying flooring etc. Tony (the owner) worked with us to come up with a plan based on our wants/needs. He made our dream come to life and it turned out better than we couldâ ve imagined. He never cut corners and took the time to do things right. He and his team were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable also. We highly recommend them for home improvement needs. We used them for a couple smaller projects with amazing results too."

"Before Hiring Hector and his team we got a few quotes before we made a decision. Hector was neither the cheapest nor expensive quote that we got out of the 5 companies we called. We chose this company because they were very professional and honest. Hector and his employees are great at communication and will let you know about any changes that may be needed and gives you suggestions as well. For the price that we paid we def got our money worth. Our deck looks better then ever and couldn't be more happier. Hector and his team work well together and are sync. They finished the job in the matter of days! Wish I would've hired him from the beginning."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Farmington Hills, MI

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.
