"I had the pleasure of hiring Christopher for a couple of small projects around my house and he went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied! He kept me informed of every step in the process with excellent customer service. I would highly recommend him not only for small handyman projects but as well as building decks! We are in talks of having a back porch built by him and I canâ t wait for another great experience using him!"

"Freewalt Builders did our extensive remodeling project and did a generally excellent job.  The demolition involved taking down and hauling off a suspended concrete patio, fireplace and gutting the den, laundry area, kitchen and a bathroom all down to the studs.  They pulled all that off, especially breaking up and hauling off that massive suspended concrete patio creatively and inexpensively.  Many structural repairs were needed due to leakage around the old fireplace, etc.  Nothing fazed them.  
We had drawn floor plans, deck plans and electrical/gas/water plans for the rebuild.  There were some challenges, like the spot where we were going to need a very long laminated beam to support the upstairs as we were pulling out a 16? run of the outside wall.  They handled it all easily.  Art and co. made some good suggestions for tweaks in a few cases, including getting the maximum square footage gain out of the effort.  He brought in good craftsmen for the custom cabinetry (excellent job by John Robertson) and counters (another excellent job by John Baker ? Top That LLC).  Good tile and finishing work, and good painting.  Appliance installations went well.  We put on a multi-level deck around the new expanded areas and decided to go with cedar on all of the visible surfaces and pressure-treated pine for the support posts and underpinnings.  Art found a good cedar supplier which helped with the cost quite a bit.  He might have gone a little over the top dressing up the deck woodwork, but I have to say it?s pretty.  All of the things they built, from the footing for the new sunroom on up to the roof, and everything in between, are built to last.  You could park an Abrams tank on that deck!
Things to watch out for: We are in Little Rock.  Art and his crew and other subcontractors are all from Hot Springs Village and Hot Springs.  Since we ended up doing this over the winter (mid-Nov ?13 to mid-May ?14) there were many weather-related delays as they simply could not get here from there.  So plan your project accordingly.  I think we were Art?s first venture into Little Rock, so we had to help quite a bit with orienting him to local suppliers.  But he has a lot of experience with that now!  Finally, they got a bit too much going on during about the middle of the project, making for inconsistent crew and supervisor from one day to the next, and some low-results days.  So we would tell one person (or Art) a particular, then find it being done differently, and have to re-do.  That problem got better before the end of the project, though.  Between that and the uncooperative winter weather, it took longer than it ought to have.  Which can translate to more $.  I think things might have gone more smoothly if the same senior person had been on site week in and week out, as much as possible.  
All in all, we are very pleased with the results!

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

You can build an outdoor kitchen on a deck, but you should choose composite decking since it's more heat-resistant. Metal deck materials like steel and aluminum are also good choices because they're less flammable than wood. You should also consider the weight of the kitchen—make sure your deck can support it and any appliances you plan to use. You should consult a structural engineer to confirm exactly how much weight your deck can safely support when building an outdoor kitchen. 

While experienced DIYers may take on the challenge, hiring a licensed professional is often the best route, especially for larger or elevated structures. A local deck contractor is typically the best pro for the job, as they have specialized experience and are knowledgeable about local building codes, ensuring your deck is built safely and designed to last. Other professionals who can build a deck include general contractors and carpenters, who may be more readily available in some regions.

No, your deck will not rot under artificial grass as long as it is installed properly. When installed correctly, the artificial grass features a drainage system that prevents rotting. Simply laying artificial grass on top of the decking without proper installation will not lead to an effective drainage system that prevents rotting.

Because adding a deck will yield a higher property value, you may have higher insurance costs. It’s important to follow the codes and regulations set by your local and state governments, so your insurance rates can be properly calculated. You may need an insurance revaluation after your deck is completed. The best course of action is to speak with an insurance professional to understand how adding a deck will impact your home’s insurance costs before you begin.

Yes, it’s definitely possible to build a pergola on an existing deck. All you need to do is attach the pergola support beams to the deck’s joists and build up from there. Beware that mistakes can damage your deck, so if you’re at all unsure of the process, play it safe and hire a pro for your custom build.
