"Ty and Tracy and their entire crew did absolutely phenomenal work rebuilding our porch, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and pride in their work truly set them apart. Anytime an issue came up, they explained everything clearly and thoroughly, and they always talked to us like real people—not just clients—making the entire process comfortable and stress-free. They genuinely listened, cared about our input, and made sure we felt confident every step of the way. They went above and beyond in every sense, handling all the little details that most contractors would overlook. We were so impressed that we happily hired them for several other projects, and every single one exceeded our expectations. It’s rare to find people this skilled, trustworthy, and down-to-earth. We highly, highly recommend Ty and Tracy—you won’t regret it!"

"The initial work was done in a day and it seemed to have gone smoothly, but then after a month the garage door seemed to not work properly. The garage door would hesitate when initially lifting up and the motor was not as quiet. I had them come out a couple of times to double check everything and they said everything was fine. After 6 months it just got worse and worse. I finally called another garage door company and they said that the motor was possibly defective. I called Altas again to have them determine if the motor was defective, but they never returned my calls or came our again. I had the second garage door company come out to look at it and they determined that the motor was not defective, but that it was installed incorrectly."

"The Best in Professional Deer, Coyote & Wildlife Abatement.”\n\nSpecializing in Professional Deer, Coyote & Wildlife Abatement with minimal impact to the environment. Without using chemicals, we can drastically reduce the Tick population and your odds of getting Lyme Disease or other tick related problems.. PLUS all of your plants, flowers and shrubs will be 100% protected from deer damage.\n\nWe do all sizes of properties. No Job is Too Big!\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------\nAfter thousands of hours of field testing and many years studying deer habits we have come up with solutions which really work. We use several methods depending on how much control is wanted for your property and we fully explain the pros and cons of each method. Although a steel fence barrier can be the best overall choice in many cases, we know that there is not one universal solution for all families or properties. This allows us to recommend what is best for your particular budget and/or situation.\n\nFirst we need to find out what your requirements are, then we need to know how you use your yard and finally, we look at and analyze what the local Deer are doing on and around your property. Whether or not you decide on 100% exclusion by installing a fence or some lesser alternative, the Deer Patterns, Browsing Habits and Behavior in your area are very important in achieving true success.\n\nAnd if a fence is needed, most times it should not be put up just anywhere that it “SEEMS” good as this can lead to future breeches and a probable lack of control! \n\nWe NEVER EVER just install a fence and go like most “Fence installers” do. If fact we are not fence installers per se, but rather true abatement specialists that look at all aspects of a combination of your needs, type of terrain, wildlife activity and local browsing habits to come up with the best solution for you. \n\nWe come back often after it is closed off to check on your property as this greatly further helps us to better understand the deer which live around you. This way if any adjustments need to be made in the future we will not be guessing on what to do. \n\nDepending on the location and time of year, we will be there four plus times during the first week. Then two or three times a week for as long as needed - usually a month or two. And then around twice a month for another two or three months. Finally, for the remainder of the year at least once a month or more if required. This needs to be done for “ANY” fence or other solution used to keep deer out or away, as the Deer are adjusting to the fence line. The installer very often needs to know what has changed since the fence was installed so he can make adjustments if needed - now or in the future. \n\nBecause of the above statements we DO NOT RELY on normal fence installation practices and methods to keep the deer out, as they MOST OFTEN simply don’t work. We always install the fence ourselves. There is always an owner/partner on the property at all times. We supervise and physically install every part of the deer fence - there is never an un-managed crew left behind to work without an owner/partner present.\n\nThe bottom line is that anyone who says that the deer cannot be kept out is incorrect as long as the correct location is picked and the proper follow up AFTER the installation is adhered to. IF THIS IS NOT DONE FROM THE BEGINNING, WHATEVER BARRIER IS CHOSEN HAS A REAL CHANCE OF NOT WORKING AS NEEDED. This is why we always succeed were others often fail.\n\nWe really care about the end result and that is why we have achieved great results over the years. We really keep the deer out and can greatly reduce ticks and your odds of getting Lyme Disease and/or other Tick related diseases on your property!\n\n\nWe will soon offer ORGANIC Insect control.

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Lake-pleasant, MA

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.
