"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Custom Deck Concepts by Tash did an outstanding job on our project! This wasn’t an easy one—we had both a retaining wall and a deck that needed to be replaced, which required coordination with another vendor. Tash and the team worked seamlessly with everyone involved, making sure the process went smoothly from start to finish. The end result looks fantastic—solid, beautiful, and exactly what we were hoping for. They were professional, easy to work with, and went the extra mile to get everything right. Highly recommend!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of working with Plummers Contracting for the installation of new composite decking, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The team at Plummers was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs. They took the time to explain the benefits of composite materials and helped me choose the perfect style and color to complement my home. Their expertise truly made the decision-making process much easier. Once the project began, the crew was punctual, efficient, and respectful of my property. They kept the work area tidy and completed the installation ahead of schedule, which was an unexpected bonus! The craftsmanship is top-notch; the decking looks stunning and feels incredibly sturdy. What impressed me most was their commitment to customer satisfaction. They were open to my questions and made sure I was fully informed every step of the way. It’s clear that they take pride in their"

"Mr. Workman did renovations on a full bath and the powder room. Both rooms had rotted floors under the toilets, so that all had to be torn out and repaired The full bath needed drywall repair and painting. He installed a glass shower door on the tub and installed tile trim around the existing tub walls. He tiled the floor and painted the whole room and installed a new light fixture. The Powder room had a totally rotted floor under the toilet. He tiled the floor and the walls up to about 4'. He painted the ceiling where it had water damage from leaks on the floor above. He repaired the existing wallpaper above the new tile."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Lexington, KY

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.
