"Gator Construction added a covered porch for us and we couldnâ t be happier. They were wonderful to deal with, excellent customer service, cleaned up after the job, very fair price and made it a great experience. Our only regret is we did not find them earlier. Highly recommended."

"The entire team at National HomeCraft earned 5 star rating starting with Kathy who responded right away on scheduling someone to come to our home for the free consultation. Followed then by Jeff Beback the representative who explained each step of the process to renovate our 30 year old shower. Demolition and then reconstruction with a beautiful acrylic shower was seamless with the work crew Scott and Brandon. They were punctual, hard working and very skilled at removing the old shower and installing the new. And we saved thousands going with National HomeCraft versus our first quote!! Overall an excellent experience start to finish!!"

"I set up a time with the provider to do "general items" on August 13 for September 5. The contractor contacted me the week before he was scheduled to reschedule due to another job taking more time, I was fine with that. They requested a "list" of the items I wanted completed. I emailed a list and waited for a confirmation of a new date. The list is as follows: "Per our telephone conversation, the following is a list of what items I would like to have done during the "8 hours". I know that they may not all get accomplished but I wanted to go ahead and list them so you would have a good idea of the type of things that I would like done: Fix toilet valve in bathroom, fix or replace faucet handles in tub (they don't stop - keep spinning), install 2 ceiling fans (put together already) where existing fans are, put handles on exterior faucets, fix front door handle or replace knob, install towel bar, replace existing hall light fixture, installing a cabinet and shelf in laundry room, install closet organizer in closet, fix latches and springs on outside screen doors, remove baseboards from two rooms (empty), remove and replace grout in bathtub and sink area." I got a response telling me that too many of my items required plumber and electrician and he was not comfortable doing these things. I personally feel that these items are typical for a "handyman" and any general contractor should be able to do these. Putting up a fan where there is an existing fan does not require an electrician nor does tightening or replacing a leaky toilet water valve. Last I checked, caulking did not require a plumber either. So I would prefer just to receive a refund."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Lake Alfred, 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.
