Deck and porch guides.
Straight answers on deck building cost, screened porch cost, and cable railing for homeowners in Birmingham, Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Trussville, Pelham, Alabaster and Mountain Brook.
Plan the project before the first quote.
These guides come from the questions homeowners ask us most: what a deck really costs, what goes into a screened porch, and how cable railing compares with other styles. They explain the factors, not a made-up price, because the honest number comes from seeing your yard. When you are ready, contact us for a free fixed quote, or see how we price.
Each guide covers the factors that move the price, the questions worth asking any builder, and how our own quotes work: free, fixed, and written after a walk-through by the same crew that builds the job.
