"Matt the technician said that at this time the foundation didnâ t need repair but advised us to keep an eye on the area. If it separates or the wood floors on the interior start to separate then we should contact him for resolution."

"The crew workers were fantastic! Their leader, Lorenzo, is amazing! He is a perfectionist, and hard worker. The porch was completed in two days, and it is BEAUTIFUL! We shopped around, and got estimates from several companies. Porch Conversions was not the cheapest, but was by far the best QUALITY ! We could not be happier with our porch! Their follow up visit and walk through after it was finished, we were given a year’s supply of cleaners and even the rags to take care of our porch! We LOVE the people AND the company!"

"Albert came out and gave me quote, and seemed very courteous, but said I was outside his normal service area of the city of Charlotte. He agreed to do the work in two weeks, and said he would call to confirm. he never called or showed. I called back the following week, and again he scheduled a day to come out. He never called or showed. I had to request refund today because it has been 30 days since I purchased it."

"Called at 10am, he was at my house by 1pm, had logs fixed, out by 2pm. Actual cost of repair was $200 less than quote he gave me over the phone. I asked him about replacing logs, but he said although technology is better, no reason to replace."

"My husband and I were both sick over the very poor workmanship of another company we had tear out our old porch and steps and
create new with bricks.  We had not signed up to Angie's List prior to making our decision which was based on the recommendation
of a gentlemen who did concrete work for us on a walkway.
When the other people could not complete their job in a professional manner, we knew we had to call in another brick layer.  That's when I went back to Angie's List and called Doug Courtney of Courtney Brick and Masonry.  This young man punctually came to our house and we explained the situation and he could see for himself the job performed was not correct as it should have been.  He very professionally outlined what he could do to correct and when he could start the job.  Rain delayed the start date by two days but he called each day to let us know it would be done as soon as rain stopped.  Sure enough, he started and completed the job exactly as described and in two days, even with us adding a little more detail work we wanted completed.
My husband and I were highly impressed with Doug and his workers.  They worked this project like it was their very own steps and porch they were doing.  We cannot say enough about their professionalism, expertise and great price.  We are very, very happy and our neighbors love our new porch and steps!  We highly recommend this company to everyone.

"The job was done in a very professional manner paying attention to detail and quality of the supplies provided and used for the fencing. The job was done efficiently and exactly to the specifications that I required. He made sure that I was satisfied with the job at different stages of the construction. I had one or two specific things that I wanted done and he made sure that they were installed properly as they were being done. He worked very neatly and cleaned up all of the property of any cut or waste materials. His men were very proficient at performing their individual tasks paying attention once more to quality and to my satisfaction.

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Lancaster, SC

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.
