"We bought our home used and have tried for years to work up a plan to get the deck replaced. I honestly don't know how it ever passed an inspection, it was in such bad shape. After years of delaying we finally made the decision and after speaking with a few other building contractors, Green Shield gave us the best options, service and delivery dates to get our project completed. They did a complete tear down of the existing structure and had our new deck in and useable within 4 days. Highly recommend if you are in the market for a deck, give them a call and a chance to bid on your project."

"They did a really good job and they stand behind their work. The prices are competitive and they take pride in their work. I had a really old front door that was not insulated and they put in a new one with plenty of insulation. They also put in a new storm door and a garage side door that meant making a new doorway that's sealed properly. They answered all my questions and were respectful of the property"

"This company did an excellent job from start to finish. I was initially presented with a variety of plans. The presentation of those plans was very thorough and complete. Everything was very straightforward and relatively easy to understand. This really facilitated the decision-making process. Once the project was underway, the deck was worked on more or less continuously, until it was fully completed. I truly appreciate it how the worker stayed focused day after day and completed this project in a very timely fashion. Additionally, I also greatly appreciated the attention to detail and the high-quality workmanship. It should also be mentioned that the materials used were also of superior quality. This deck should last anywhere from 25 to 30 years based on the materials utilize for construction. Another significant bonus to this project was working with the staff. They were genuinely nice, friendly, professional, and highly competent. All in all, this is a very rewarding experience!"

"Our house needed a lot of TLC and POP did a great job of doing all of the repairs in addition to a very nice paint job. I had a tight schedule and they fit us in with a lot of other projects. They gave me a nice discount as I was prepared to move forward on the project expeditiously. The outcome was a great-looking house."

"Before Hiring Hector and his team we got a few quotes before we made a decision. Hector was neither the cheapest nor expensive quote that we got out of the 5 companies we called. We chose this company because they were very professional and honest. Hector and his employees are great at communication and will let you know about any changes that may be needed and gives you suggestions as well. For the price that we paid we def got our money worth. Our deck looks better then ever and couldn't be more happier. Hector and his team work well together and are sync. They finished the job in the matter of days! Wish I would've hired him from the beginning."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Livonia, MI

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.
