"Tim and Crystal were both great to work with. They showed up on time every time, made commitments and lived up to those commitments. We had problems with our old door while waiting on the delivery of the custom order door and Tim came out and did a temporary repair without charging anything. When the door came in he moved up the date for the install. I highly recommend using them for any garage door repair or replacement."

"We first met with Doug for a quote for a full fence replacement on a corner lot- he was friendly, professional, and prompt. We got a couple of additional quotes and went with Colorado Painting and Construction Pros as they made us the most comfortable in moving forward with the work, answering all questions we had prior to signing a contract. The team was able to get started almost immediately and communication around scheduling was great. The team was also professional, prompt, and friendly as well as tidy and clean in their work. The fence was fully done in a few days, and done right! It looks amazing and I highly recommend Colorado Painting and Construction Pros to anyone looking to replace their fence. They accidentally hit a sprinkler and made it right as soon as I contacted them."

"Fernando and his crew lead by Manuel did a fantastic job on my landscape project. Fernando is a great communicator. I was kept in the loop about the project every step of the way. When questions or concerns came up, Fernando addressed them with our desired outcome as his main priority. The project outcome exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to hire him again. I highly recommend!"

"We were very impressed with this company’s work on our deck. We were able to communicate openly with the owner and he promptly responded to any concerns and or questions we had. The Site Manager, Bo was also extremely accommodating and professional. The crew worked diligently and it was obvious to us that they were experts and knew just what they were doing. We would recommend TNT to anyone looking to improve their home."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Fort Collins, CO

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.
