"We had PPC come out to do a deck addition on our new home. We had received quotes from a few other contractors and PPC was very competitive. The owner, Adam, was great to work with! He communicated extremely well throughout the project! He helped us with deck design, choosing materials, and every other little step along the way. The crew, especially Sarg, were always respectful and worked so hard and fast! One of our sprinkler heads got damaged during the process but they immediately fixed it without any difficulty. It's been nearly a year now since we had the work done, and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Perfect for summer days and the evening sun! Deinitely recommend them for any project you may need done! Thank you guys for making the process so easy for us!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts
There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.
Although dependent on the type and size of lumber, most 2-by-4-by-8-foot pieces of lumber cost anywhere from $3 to $6. Softwood lumber like pine falls on the lower end of the spectrum, while hardwood lumber like oak or walnut falls on the higher end. Different retailers and lumber yards can also vary in price, so it helps to shop around to compare prices.
Permits are necessary to comply with local building codes, ensuring safety and adherence to zoning regulations, and are vital for successful construction.
Wood, cedar, pressure-treated pine, and redwood are commonly used. They offer durability and natural beauty suitable for outdoor structures.
Pole barns and carports are similar in that they rely on posts for support and are often not connected to a primary structure. The main difference between the two is that pole barns usually include walls that surround the entire perimeter of the structure, while carports generally remain open on three or four sides. It’s possible to insulate garage doors and even exterior walls on pole barns to create a comfortable workspace, and it’s a bit more secure for storage purposes. However, carports are more affordable.
