"Marco and his crew may as well come to Christmas. They have truly become a part of our family. I can't express the level of attention Marco gives each of his clients. He answers his phone every time I call, he is at your house ASAP IF there is an issue, he is on the worksite almost every day. His team is respectful, quick, and clean. Outside of the amazing customer service and time management, their work is incredible and very fairly priced. I will recommend Marco and his Red Lion team to everyone I know."

"Jim Hunt and his crew were professional and personal. They tore down our old, dilapidated deck and replaced it with a maintenance free composite deck in a week. Their workmanship and the quality of materials were excellent, and it was the best and most affordable estimate we received. We were very pleased and strongly recommend Hunt Home Remodeling to build your deck!"

"Jed replaced two columns on our front porch that were in bad shape. He kept me informed throughout the project and did an excellent job. He was very professional and great to work with. His skills on this job were exceptional and very much appreciated. Steve C."

"Ryan is very responsive, but a lot of the details (trim, corners, clean up) in the the job were poorly done for the tiles and carpentry. There were some significant mistakes around executing the asked for design that ended up causing delays and costing more money. If you hire him, you should check his crew work routinely so mistakes can be corrected. He is really good at fixing the mistakes while the job is ongoing. Unfortunately, I have been finding things a month later and fixing them now would be cost prohibited."

"If I could rate this company 10 stars, especially the professional attention to detail by Jeanie Katerba George and her crew, I would. It was such a pleasure to deal with honest, hard working, on time people. Could not have asked for a better experience."

"This job was not done. The work they had started is a complete mess! They were to paint and put new flooring in bathrooms. The floor was put in before starting paint, and now has paint all over. They did cover flooring before starting to paint. The painting in master bedroom has paint on ceiling, which was not to be painted. Globs of spilled paint all over carpet in master bedroom. Reinstalled toilet in bath and was leaking at base for 2 days before contractor had plumber remove and repair. Plumber caused leak from new faucet in tub and caused flood in my basement. Contractor left me (the homeowner) to clean it up. They damaged the walls and trim in bathroom so much it's unrepairable at this point.Also have spilled paint on carpet into the bathroom that they tried cleaning with paint thinner, so now I have to carpet the whole area. I have so many pictures to show the poor, unprofessional quality of work. I would never recommend this company, as it's an embarrassment!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Gretna, NE

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.
