"Another company started a custom shower install, but everything went wrong from shoddy work to delays in receiving orders to workers not arriving on time (or not at all). After I hired Bradley Construction, I realized I should have hired them in the first place. The project manager stayed on top of the project and made sure everything was completed properly and on schedule. They also installed new countertops in the bathroom. They did an excellent job. I could not have been more pleased!"

"Paul did a good job. He was very up front about when he could build the pool and he set it up when he said he would. My pool is an oval (18x33) and it went up no problem. I would highly recommend using them to build a pool."

"Good news is they built a deck for me. Bad news, they charged me an extra $2400 after it was completed. There was nothing in the contract about the extra charge. Also bad, was it took them longer than expected to come start the work. Finally, the finish was not as good as expected or promised."

"We have contracted with many service companies over our 48 years of marriage and had alright decided that we wouldn’t get all stressed out because of this company.....If they just finished in a timely manner we would be grateful. You can imagine our delight when they started the project on the actual Day promised ( we thought it had to be misunderstooding and they got their days mixed up) Now this is where it really starts getting spooky...... The workers arrived every day and acted like we the homeowners where the most important thing in the world. Not it get really crazy.....they finished 2 weeks before promised and wouldn’t let me pay them in full until my wife came back from out of town and put her stamp of approval on the job. I don’t mind telling you you that we are more than pleased with this company and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone."

"A tree fell on our home and destroyed the roof in late June of 2025. Tommy with Southern Design Homes got to work as soon as he was cleared to do so and had my home repaired and in better condition than it was to begin with within the first 2 days of July! Very kind service and great people. Will without question be using SDH services in the future!"

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Startex, SC

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.
