"I hired Mr. Greg Pappas of Pappas Enterprise to perform some tuff landscaping of some country undeveloped land into developed usable land to include putting in a 250' driveway, retainer wall, as well as three large wooden decks, two with steps and one with a long wheelchair ramp to our new double wide mobile home near Dixon Springs was one of the best choices I have made in my entire life time. I don't normally write any reviews, but in this case this guy really deserves a great one for the caring work he put into my project. I would not hesitate to hire him again to preform any sorta construction or landscaping projects - He listens very closely to what one wants done and how they want it done, uses the correct materials to perform what you want done, will even advise you of a better and or less expensive manner in which to get done what your wanting done as well. When you hire this guy he is there working on your project until it's finished and in just three weeks he built me three good sized treated lumber decks, two sets of steps, plus a long wheelchair ramp plus managed to put in a 250' driveway going up a steep hillside to my mobile home. He even made sure the project site was all cleaned up after he completed my project. As far as costs? Mr. Pappas was most reasonable whereas others wanted around a third more for doing same things. You need or want a project done and for it be done right plus at the right price then you really need to check this guy out first before going to anyone else. Sincerely Richard from Dixon Springs, TN"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Lucas, 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.
