"We first had our back deck replaced and were so happy with the results that a year later we signed up to have them replace our front porch. Even though it was snowy and cold out the crew did a great job. We would highly recommend using GreenShield the whole process went very smoothly. We love our deck and porch."

Customers say: Quality work

"I had a great experience working with Rick. At first, I hired Rick to do some repair work on the small platform deck at my rental property; he did such a great job that I hired him to repair the platform deck on my primary home as well. I could not be more pleased with the final product at both properties. At our primary home, I initially wanted an extension on our current deck. Rick quoted me a fair price and got to work. Upon pulling up a couple of boards, he noted that our baseboards were severely rotting and decaying quickly (Deck is maybe 12-15 years old) and so he quickly quoted what it would be to tear down and replace , he was able to make it work with his schedule and completed the project in 2 days. The new deck is amazing! I highly recommend Rick for any deck or carpentry needs that you may have. I referred him over to other family members. Rick is fast, fair, and efficient."

"I had the outside of my house re-sided (vinyl) and could not be more pleased. George and his crew are very good at their jobs, and completed the work on time. I also needed some trim around the windows replaced, and all of the window trim repainted, they were able to do everything I needed. I mentioned to George that I was thinking about getting a new roof, he told me the old one will last a few more years - I really appreciated the honest assessment. I will call R.Wright the next time I need any home renovation."

Customers say: Terrific value

"My 1985 Rotten Wooden Deck had to go! Researching all the different patio/deck options was a little overwhelming. I had hired Leveridge Landscaping years prior for my front yard landscaping and they did such a beautiful job, that I found another project for them to do in my backyard. Leveridge Landscapingâ s knowledge and creativity helped me narrow down the patio/deck choices to best complement my home. Their team: from the owner to the installers, were patient, respectful, answered all my questions. They helped me find that perfect patio vision that would work best for my needs, wishes and budget. We all like options and I was given 3 very affordable detailed option quotes based on the look I was trying to achieve. Leveridge Landscapingâ s quotes came in under 2 other Concrete Patio vendors. I chose the middle quote. My patio does NOT look like a middle quote. Pictures are better than words, so I have included some below. The quality and value of the work is so much more than I expected or dreamed! The patio is GORGEOUS! Their mastery and precision can only be summed up as they are Artists! They finished a day ahead of schedule, staying the day before until it was completed. The crew meticulously cleaned up after and they went above and beyond and even added topsoil and grass seed around the new patio. My neighborhood is already planning a cookout to break this Patio in, and I canâ t wait to share it with my family. I highly recommend Leveridge Landscaping for ALL your Landscaping needs!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Lawrence, IN

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.
