"In the master bedroom where they put in new closets, they did not caulk and paint it and they put in a lot of stucco, They put in 2 new sliding doors and they cut across them because the nail stick too far from the wall, so when you slide the door back and port it scratches the door. They put in an electrical unit in the master bath for switches, but it stuck out too far from the wall, they ended up using 2 plastic plates, put them together and put in on the wall.The toilet that they had to put back was slightly crocked. It was not straight, it goes to the left and instead of sealing the base of the toilet, they put a black thing to it and it looks dirty, it looks really bad. I also found out that they did not use seal-able grout in tiling the shower and all the grout that they use in my house were not seal-able grout either. We had a leaking lanai, I talk to Jason their employee and I told him, that I don't want something that leaks and he said "this one will not leak, I guarantee you. You will not have any problem with it". So they put in a sun room and it leak 9 times on the right side, twice on the left and it damage my wall. After they left I have to climb up there and I have to seal the space between the house and the sun room and paint it, they did not bother to do it. The $10.000 Kitto that is supposed to have a cover on it, it's not there. He said "putting a cover to it is a wild card, they cannot do something about it". The Kitto is there but I cannot put the litter boxes out there, because I don't have anything to protect them from getting wet when it rains. And on the top of the two when they first put it in, they had a door. They put the door on the opposite side, so now the door, you can be lock it from the outside but you cannot lock it from the inside. In the den, they are supposed to move the frame for closing the laundry area, they did not do it correctly and the door would fall off. They laid down tiles there but I have to take it up because it was not leveled and the grouting chips away. There are some parts on the Living room, in the den, bedroom, bathroom and sun room, the paint was peeling off. There is nothing in the house that they did correctly and I have to get another company to fix it."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Fort White, FL

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.
