"All in all I will use them again. The process was a little bumpy at first -- i have never hired a carpentry company and was solely reliant on what i found here at AL. Basically it's 50 percent to start, and 50 percent upon completion. Lamar came out to figure the estimate which i got next day or so. I reviewed, accepted, returned a signed estimate, and it was a few weeks before I could get on the schedule. I asked front-desk Andrea about signing a contract and was told that for 'small' jobs they typically do not document a contract. I really suggest they come up with more comprehensive general terms of service agreement that they offer everyone, or that they print on their estimates, to cover both parties. Renovation was about 4 weeks to completion. After demo then I was not on the schedule for week, and we had Thanksgiving holidays, so work slowed for a week. During this time the rotted floor was fixed and the new framing was put up to house the tub. Meanwhile I asked for (and Casey put in) more 2x8s running perpendicularly to the floor joists to support the bigger tub. Plumbing was modified to fit the new tub. After thanksgiving, and particularly after December 1st, things started really clicking -- floor down, tub fixtures done, toilet and vanity reset (my originals, not new purchases), drywall done, and painting done in a matter of 3-4 days. Last thing was the ceramic tile, which took an afternoon. Casey's response time via text or call is excellent. The team members each stay his own lane. They clean up after themselves--daily. I bought the guys pizza and that day's crew was SO diligent about cleaning up their trash that there was no proof pizza had ever been delivered! It does take a while--longer than my naive self would have expected. Crew members were driving from Gallatin to Ashland City and understandably work at my house usually didnt start til 9 am. Your experience might be different if you're closer to Gallatin. Crew members also have same-day assignments in other towns too, so they have long days. As to access, we used a realtor's box so the construction members could let themselves in my house."

"So, I had hired a contractor that began building the fence but it became obvious that he didn't know what he was doing. It was bad enough that codes had received a complaint and needed the issues resolved within the next 4 days (this was on a Thursday, deadline was the upcoming Tuesday). So, I fired the first contractor and called Quality fence and deck co. Not only did they show up on a Sunday to begin working, they rebuilt the ENTIRE fence in two days and passed codes with flying colors. They were extremely professional and on time, everytime. It was such an easy experience working with them. They will be my go to company if anyone asks or if I need any further work of this sort done."

Customers say: Terrific value

"A lean too or an additional covered parking space was added to our carport. The addition is very well built and looks great. We had them cover the entire carport with the same roofing, siding around the top of the entire carport and added gutters. While doing all this work they checked for any wood that might need replacing. Some wood was replaced while other pieces only needed a few extra nails. Loved the completed job."

"Excellent work. Communication great, timing perfect. Project was framing for a 20' by 30' workspace in a larger barn. Project included a loft with a structured beam. Work was done professionally and looks great. Would have no hesitation hiring again."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Portland, 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.
