"From the outset, working with Carl has been a very positive experience.  I don't think there is a job out there that Carl could not handle.  I am so impressed with his quality of work, professionalism, price point, ability to meet timelines and more.  It's always evident that he takes a lot of pride in his work, and goes the extra mile to make sure the job is done right the first time.  On several occasions, I've encouraged him to go the "easier route" on a certain part of the job, and each time he went the extra mile and did the job properly - even though it took him longer, and the work was likely more difficult for him - you can tell he likes it done the right way.  I am so appreciative of that because the results speak for themselves.  Carl has an excellent work ethic, his integrity both personally and professionally are evident, and I trust him implicitly - there are not many people that I would leave a key under the mat for to perform work while I'm not home, but after a few days of having Carl in my home, I wouldn't give it a second thought.  I'm a new homeowner, and there has been a major transformation since Carl first stepped in the door.  My friends and neighbors all compliment the work that has been done, and it makes going home so enjoyable at the end of a long day!  I would very highly recommend Carl at AJP Construction for anyone looking for a knowledgeable craftsman that can handle almost anything home-improvement related!

"Excellent company and process, from sales consultation to pricing and installation. Quality installation. Job was done efficiently and quickly - team showed up early and finished the same day. Fence looks awesome and have gotten compliments from several neighbors. Will definitely use these guys again when other parts of my fence need replacement.

"We contracted with Robert Hershberger Construction to install Hardy Board siding on our wood frame home. We were ultimately pleased with the end project and overall improved look of the home. However, as the work was being completed and issues arose Mr. Hershberger was difficult to contact. It would take him several days to return our calls, all as his workers were continuing a project we had questions about. Several items outside of our home were damaged (pool equipment) but Mr. Hershberger repaired/replaced them all. What we are waiting for is a $500.00 rebate which was promised. When we sought bids for the project our decision came down between two options. Mr. Hershberger convinced us to go with his company promising a $750.00 rebate approved by the manufacturer. After the completion of the work, the manufacturer delivered a $250.00 rebate and stated that Mr. Hershberger was responsible for the rest. To date, after emails and phone calls, we still wait for our $500.00 owed and agreed to in the contract. The work was excellent, but the business side is quite poor.

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Okeechobee, FL

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.
