"This was a high game fence repair. I highly recommend Terry and his crew. Work was well executed and timely. Terry himself is a caring man who was friendly and professional , and willing to work with the insurance company to get the job done. I will definitely hire them for future needs."

"They installed a putting green by my pool and also did a yard area in another part of the yard. The workers were polite and very knowledgeable in the area of artificial grass. The Forman came by daily to see if everything was progressing as it should. It took right at 7 days from start to finish and it looks amazing! I would highly recommend them.

"A disaster. Since we do not currently live at the property, we were at Shawn's mercy on his honesty and integrity. BIG mistake. He consistently had reasons on why he didn't go to the job: truck broke down, attacked by bees, truck broke again, credit card fraud (think I heard that one several times) and a whole other list of excuses. After missing several deadlines, he sent me photos of the completed deck. I believed him and sent him the final payment. Unfortunately, the photos were misleading. The deck was NOT complete. Worse yet, it's a disaster. He put the insulation ON TOP on top of the joists so when you walk on it and you feel like you are in a bouncy house. He didn't cut the plywood to specifications; didn't do the joists to specifications. He left all this trash everywhere. He promised me he would come out and fix the platform by September 1 (I have text messages to prove) ...and nothing. He's a fraud. I feel really stupid for being taken advantage of and told my husband since this was "my" project, I would handle. I was lied to and scammed by Shawn, the owner of this company. So, if he is showing you photos of a round deck, please know these are NOT accurate. The work was horrible and needs to be completey redone....and on top of that, I get the joy of cleaning the mess he left behind and having all the money I had saved for this project gone...."

"Handyman Carpentry came through for me and my family! Our door was kicked in and I needed to feel safe immediately. Mr. Kevin came through with a fast response, and great work. He kept in contact throughout the entire time! Reasonable and fair pricing. This was an emergency for me and Mr. Kevin and his squad came through. We will definitely be calling on him again for more carpentry and home improvement jobs! Thank you and I pray nothing but growth and success for you and your business!!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Fredericksburg, TX

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.
