"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."

"Josh spends quality time before the project starts to make sure he understands what we wanted. We never felt rushed. During the project he continually checked in to make sure we were satisfied. And the final project shows his high level of detail! He is very careful and thorough! The deck looks amazing and is far more than we expected. He smoothed and sanded corners of handrails and all handrails. Beautiful work!"

"After our chimney area developed a leak, I had a chimney specialist inspect the chimney chase cover and caps which were ok. He concluded the leak was from the roofing around the chimney and recommended Merv for this type of repair as it requires expert technique and experience to fix a leak of this nature. Merv and his crew were fantastic, arrived on time, worked hard, and made a high-quality repair. Clean-up was pristine. Merv is very easy to work with, returns calls or texts, and explains things very well. He has earned my trust! Merv (MSW Construction LLC) will definitely be my first choice for future projects and/or repairs - I highly recommend them. "

"Five-Star did an awesome job putting a new fence in for us. Very professional with great communication from start to finish. No yard damage and they did a fantastic job with clean up afterwards. Not a single dirt clump or rock in the yard after digging and setting all of the posts. I highly recommend Five-Star."

"THESE GUYS ARE HANDS-DOWN THE ONES TO GO WITH!!! I called the number listed on Angie's list, a bit apprehensive because hey are a smaller company. I am seriously SO thankful I contacted them, among 3 other companies. Royce Jr. handled everything from start to finish and was extremley professional. Within 24 hours of calling, WE HAD AN ESTIMATE!!! And at HALF the price of other companies AND it was right on, there was no more additional charges on top of the quoted price!!! Other local companies where scheduling an estimate almost a MONTH out, basically when R and R was ready to build. Within a week of our approval, they had already started building. Royce arrived EVERY time ON time, the job was completed when they said it would be (even with our heavy May rain this year). In addition, I have a mastiff breed, and all the guys took special care to introduce themselves so that she would be comfortable with their interactions. What large company would you know that would take the time to do that? Hands down, they beat the competitors in effiecentcy, cost, accuracy, and punctuality. All of our neighbors are now asking for their information! Not only does the fence look better than surrounding yards, but we paid half of what they did! I can't express in a review how impressed I am, this company EXCEEDED our expectations and I LOVE that we kept our money local. Did I mention how awesome our fence looks? So glad I took the time to research this project, I would recommend R and R Fencing and More to anyone interested in quality and great service. I wish every company was as reliable as this one! Thanks guys!!! <br />"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Fort Wayne, IN

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.
