"Christoper was an excellent commentator, highly punctual, professional and did outstanding work. The drywall he repaired looks as good as new. He cleaned up and left the job site neat as a pin. I would highly recommend him and will use him again myself. "

"Ace Roofing Co, is very deceiving. They have a contract pay in full when the job was completed and not verbal agreement accepted. They billed me end of Dec 2022. But the job wasn't completed until Feb 2023. Then my account was hacked into. So I made payments. The owner asked me to apply for 6 months free finance. Meanwhile, I was continuing communicating with them they will receive $4500 on its way. During this process, out of nowhere, they decided to renege their verbal agreement and paperwork...knowing they had not intended to work with customer. They sent me lawsuit letter and didn't not give me any notice to work something out. I was making monthly payments, first payment $1000. They deliberately hid the second payments so they can note that one payment was paid from Dec to April 2023. Once I provided proofs, suddenly magically they found my missing payment. The job was completed in Feb 23. Payment was paid in March and April. They send one email that I couple respond to. All the other emails, not able to reply. I didn't meet to their threatening letter and because it was short notice, they receive the payments past their goal date. I has asked they would honor their verbal agreement. No response!!!!!!!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Smith-mills, 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.
