Craftsmanship and quality are our first priority. We have been in the business since 2009 and serving the Wilmington area for over 7 years now.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Experience with Albatross Construction My wife and I hired Zak with Albatross Construction to design and build a deck capable of supporting our hot tub, while also creating a comfortable outdoor living space complete with ceiling fans and gutters that will last for years. Zak took the time to walk us through multiple decking brands and flooring options, explaining the pros and cons of each, which helped us make an informed decision. Ultimately, we chose TimberTech for the decking, and Zak was instrumental in helping us design the roof and select materials. His recommendation of a black tin roof with black gutters turned out beautifully and complements our home perfectly. The fit and finish are exceptional, and the porch is extremely well built. Everything feels solid, thoughtfully constructed, and clearly designed to last. The craftsmanship and attention to detail truly set this project apart. Working with Zak was, without question, the easiest and most positive "

"thanks to this site, I called Greater Wilm. Structure about a brick house I was buying that had cracked brick and unlevel floors. I assumed I would only (!) need to have that section of the home jacked up and the foundation repaired. Brian returned my call quickly, and met me and my realtor at the house (was a 45 min. drive for him) to give me his opinion and verbal price quote. Many contractors/carpenters would have just focused on the project and the money involved, but Brian wanted to see WHY the house had sunk. He pointed out the major structure issues with the tresses in the attic, joists, as well as other red flags, that would cause problems later. He's a master carpenter and his knowledge, experience (and sense of humor!) was refreshing and valuable. After meeting with him I decided to pull my accepted offer on the home and feel I have saved myself untold amounts of money, stress and frustration. I will definately be hiring this company in the future."

"The contractor finished and I paid him. I then noticed that 2 gates would not close correctly. I called him and he said he would fix the gates. The next week I texted him and he texted back he would fix the gates on Friday. He never showed and I called him again. His response was he was very busy. This crew has full time jobs as paramedics so they install fences as a sideline. Nothing wrong with that but it limits their time on the fence job. I had to pay another contractor to fix the gates as I could not get them to fix the gates. Do not pay them until you are fully satisfied."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Southport, NC

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.
