"Carl followed my design to build bookshelves in our bedroom.  He built the entire structure on site, and did a wonderful job.
He was neat, professional, and finished in a timely fashion. He always cleaned up inside and out each day that he was there.
I would recommend him , and would certainly use him again.

"We live on a waterway so our backyard is not very large for building structures, but we had this company come out to build a screen room and the bar b que, but Kris showed us an outdoor kitchen with a dining bar that he had build for some other folks we really liked the idea and had room for one and we are happy. Good job great result. 5*******"

"I called Celtic Pavers because of the reviews on Angie's List. When I called Jim, the owner, he made an appointment for a couple of days later. He arrived a bit late but he did call and tell me he was going to be late and he was only a few minutes late. Jim was a great guy and showed me all the options to put pavers on my pool deck and gave me good prices, not the best but very good. I signed  a contract a week or so later and he told me he would have to order the product and wold be able to start in a couple of weeks after he got the permit and received the pavers. I got cold feet and decided that I didn't want to do the job at the time and emailed and called him to let him know. He told me no problem and maybe we could do it at a later date. A few days later I decided I wanted to do it again and he said ok. Then the next day I called again and decided against it and he was really nice about it. he returned my deposit a few days later without withholding any funds. I was a real pain for him and he took it all in stride and would definitely use him if he would even agree to do a job for me. I certainly wouldn't want to do a job for me because I was such a pain with this.

FAQs for deck or porch projects in West Palm Beach, FL

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.
