"Gator Construction added a covered porch for us and we couldnâ t be happier. They were wonderful to deal with, excellent customer service, cleaned up after the job, very fair price and made it a great experience. Our only regret is we did not find them earlier. Highly recommended."

"My tile roof was over 44 year old so it was time for a new roof most of the neighbors switched from tile to singles I personally wanted to stay with tile so I received five quotes, Brent Griffith Roofing beat all of them by far he made it feasible to stay with tile I remembered I had to be patient when getting a new roof because good roofers are always busy. B. Griffith Roofing, Inc. is top quality, the best price, his crew and support staff is excellence professional hard-working. I highly recommend B. Griffith Roofing, Inc.

"We put a pool in and needed to get access to the pool via our dining room.
Chris suggested that we turn out window opening into a patio door so that we did not have to walk around through our lanai to get to the pool from out main area of the house, mainly the kitchen.
 They removed the carpet and window, used the existing window opening to make a great entrance to our pool deck, added tile flooring and a really cool accent at the door to the pool in decorative tile and created a breakfast nook with high quality cabinetry and accessories. Did some really nice trim work and reworked the outside walls so that everything looks like it was always there
We now have a very functional room they we use all the time and made our dining room that we never used into a very welcoming and open floor plan feeling space.
They also took care of a bunch of small items that were bothering us around our home while they were here.
Saved us from hiring a decorator and we ended up with just what we wanted.
Job went smooth and as clean as this sort of thing can be, no unexpected charges.
We will continue to work with Chris and his associates in the future."

"My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with the work performed by this company! Their workmanship is excellent and their work and materials were reasonably priced. We had a significant amount of deck/patio to cover and the work was started and completed on time. The installers were very professional and cleaned up after the work was completed. We thought Jaydel and his crew were great. We enjoyed working with Ira, the owner of the company. He is very knowledgeable and was terrific at pointing out the important aspects of installing pavers. His company offered a huge selection of materials from which to choose. We would definitely hire this company again and highly recommend their work."

"Chris Barnhardt built my custom home. Chris provided everything you would want from a builder. The work is professional and high quality. He is a “hands on “contractor and has exacting standards for the quality of his work. His workers are reliable and trustworthy and take pride in their work. Throughout the entire process Chris kept me informed about the progress of the work. His response to call or texts with questions is virtually immediate. He often sends pictures at the end of the day so I can see the work that has been done. Chris’s advice and attention to detail has made my home exactly what I had hoped for. The result is beautiful – all I had dreamed of in designing my new home. Working together to create my home has been completely free of the many worries an owner might have in beginning such a big project. I would recommend Chris without any hesitation to anyone who is considering building a new home or undertaking a major renovation."

"We had our tile roof replaced by SolarShield in June 2019. The SolarShield crew was excellent. Showed up on time and cleaned up the work area every night before leaving for the day. Work was estimated to take 5 days, but they finished in 4 days. They do a quality, professional job. We expect no problems with this new roof for years and years to come."
All of the doors and windows were replaced by National HomeCraft.

"I have to say that I was impressed from the first contact to the completion of the job. We had the pool resurfaced and a waterfall added, a travertine deck installed and an outside fireplace built. It's awesome! The employees were exceptionally skilled and very polite. When I saw something that I thought might be done differently they came up with ideas of their own that were better than mine. Ronny was a great person to work with. The work was excellent and the finished job is beautiful. Ronny is now doing my weekly pool maintenance. "DON'T" go anywhere else."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Lakeland, 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.
