"I would like to leave a fair review about my experience with Schwartz Builders. A neighbor recommended me to Craig back in July of last year to build a 50x50 shop. Craig seemed like a nice guy, and everyone said he was honest. We got started on construction right away. However, after receiving a significant deposit, he was hard to get ahold of and it was rare to see people working. I was lucky if I saw someone once a week. In all fairness there were material shortages, something beyond his control. It eventually did get built, about 2 months behind schedule and 3% over the firm fixed price we agreed on (I did make changes through the process so much of that was my doing). He asked for final payment before finishing all the required items, and I gave it to him as a sign of good faith. Unfortunately, he didnâ t really finish everything he was supposed to and I ended up paying this spring for dirt work (he said he would fix the ramp in the spring that didnâ t get done right in the fall, but didnâ t respond to messages) as well as other items. I also never received a single invoice. I guess he has a new bookkeeper now who claims that they donâ t have a single invoice for the past year of construction and claims heâ s not making any money, asking me to pay more to fix work he already charged me for. I will also note that they didnâ t clean up any construction debris at all and I spent days picking up trash bags full of nails and other stuff. Overall I was a bit disappointed in the process. As for the quality of his workmanship and the fact that he for the most part finished and within 2 months and 2%, Iâ ll give them that. But communication, finishing all the items they said they would, and overall management of the business; that area could use some significant improvement. Iâ m hoping they are able to turn the business around. Iâ ve heard Craig used to be the best, but heâ s been struggling for the past year or so for a variety of different reasons and many people I know have said that itâ s gone downhill."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Soldotna, AK

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.
