"I hired Nate to install new windows, siding, and doors as wells as build two decks with one pergola and one covered roof. His work was good when he showed up with the exception of the trim and siding around the bay window. This work was not good at all. The trim didn't follow the window and there was a lot of flashing showing between the shingles and trim. I showed him and he tried to tell me that that was how it was supposed to be. There's absolutely no way that was correct. He finally said that he would fix it but not until spring but he wanted paid for everything less $500 for all the other projects. His contract stated that he doesn't get paid until all projects are completed. This is another point he argued, stating that the trim/siding was completed, just not correctly. I don't know why anyone would consider it completed if it needed to be redone. With that said, he started work in June and was done with everything but the inside trim and having to re-do the outside bay window trim. He texted me on Sep. 20 to tell me the trim was in and he'd be there in a couple weeks to finish. I never heard from him again until the week before Christmas. He was in a hurry to get done saying he needed to get paid before the New Year. I get that but I hadn't heard from him in literally 3 months and now he was in a hurry to finish. This was more or less par for his course throughout the entire project. He would text and say he would be working in the morning. Sometimes he would be there, sometimes he wouldn't be there until the afternoon, some days he wouldn't show up at all. He really drug the project out over the course of 7 months and then was in a hurry at the end of the year. Poor communication and a lot of hassle. I even had to call the lumberyard to come pick up the leftover lumber as it was sitting in my yard for three weeks. Nate said he had called for a pickup but the lumberyard had never heard from him. Did okay work but would definitely not recommend."

" Chris was very prompt courteous professional and honest. Kept up great communication during the whole process. Gave an estimated start date when we signed the contract. Ended up starting 3 days early. Finally the honesty. He gave a cash discount. On the final day paid the last of the bill. When he got home messaged me I "overpaid $1000." And made arrangements to return it."

FAQs for deck or porch projects in Yankton, SD

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.
