"I needed some new plants put in my flower beds, some dead shrubs replaced, as well as general maintenance and mulching. I found Zach at Creative to be very helpful and knowledgeable. His crew was efficient and did a good job. We walked the project upon completion and Zach did things on his own to make certain I was happy with the work. I would recommend Creative for your landscaping needs."

"We have used Precision Painting before and have always been very happy with their work. They removed our old fence and replaced it with a new pressure treated fence that should provide long life. It looks great! Next they will be mulching our flower beds - just in time for spring showers!"

"We needed a small deck, with 8 foot wide stairs, leading off a screened porch. Jason came out and assessed the job and gave an estimate of when it could be done, and how much it would cost. We hired him. He and his crew came out and did the work. As the project progressed, I requested a couple of changes be made, and he was perfectly happy to accommodate my requests. Altogether it was a delightful experience, and I know who I’ll call next time I need any carpentry work at my home."

"All workers showed up on time and the work progressed on time. The weather was a factor but the job was finished in time and in a very professional manner. There was never a time when I had to worry if the job was being done the way it should be. There was a section of roofing on the back of the house that was done by an armature at best that caused a lot of wood rot. The foreman of the job showed me how it could be repaired and saved me over $1500 on the job.

I plan to use this provider in the future for work inside my home."

"I cannot say how professional Gomez Construction was in building our. He came out and gave us a quote with three different. After accepting one of the quotes, he quickly started the process of rebuilding our rotting deck. We have received so many compliments on the deck. The best thing is he used high quality materials. We are so appreciative of the services that we received. Thank you!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Oakland, TN

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.
