Although this particular business was not already rated on Angie's List, several members had included very positive ratings for this business under another foundation repair service with a similar name. I contacted the office just before the weekend, and the receptionist told me that the owner, Tim Thomas, personally supervised all of the work of the business, but was out of town on another job until the first of the following week. We scheduled the appointment for the estimate on the following Tuesday. Mr. Thomas was not only on time -- he was early for our appointment, was extremely cordial, and very efficient as he analyzed the problem from the exterior of the house, and measured (to the tenth of an inch) the degree of deviation of the foundation in the interior portion that was involved. Then, he provided an estimate. Based on the cost, which I considered very reasonable considering some comparisons with which I was familiar, I suggested that we set the date for repair. I received a call the following day indicating that he and his crew would be here the following Monday to begin work. Again, Tim was here right on time, got his crew working, and began preparing to install nine foundation supports, part of which had to be installed under an existing deck. Over the course of the next three days, he and his crew got the supports prepared, as he kept us continually informed of the progress and the projected schedule and remaining steps in the process. On Thursday, the morning of "the lift" he asked me to be at the house, first to allow access to the interior during the process, but also so I could be a part of the decisions related to the extent of the correction. I was impressed not only by the power of the equipment being used (I've never been in a "moving house" before), but by the accuracy and care that Tim and his crew applied to the process. In just a few minutes of "lifting", the deviation was resolved, several visible indications of the foundation movement were immediately corrected, and Tim and his crew began the follow-up as I went back to work. When I returned four hours later, all of the supports were fully covered, the deck was put back together, and the extra dirt (which I had asked to have left for another project) was neatly piled and covered exactly where I had asked for it to be deposited. Over the course of conversations during the process, I learned that Tim had been in business in the area of concrete installation and foundation repair for over 30 years. That experience, in my amateur opinion, was evident in all he and his crew did to repair my home. I am extremely pleased with the work of East Texas Foundation Repair and, although I hope I never need their services again, would not hesitate to call them should that need arise.

This was my first experience with Able Improvements and it was because the Big Deal and working with Wayne went so well that I hired the company to fix a leak I've had since I moved in three years ago (and had others trying to fix) around my chimney and back porch roof. This did NOT go well and I'm in the process of reviewing that experience through Angie's List. For Painting deals, I can recommend Wayne and his job done.

Chatmon exaggerates his level of skill, experience and knowledge of painting. He doesn't have the ability to perform the quality of work that is expected. The work done on my house is far below the normal standard and what I expected from a \"professional\" painter. He painted my front porch instead of staining it as agreed and later admitted he didn't know how to stain concrete as he indicated he did at the start of the job. He also painted my wood deck instead of replacing all boards and staining it. He did not replace the boards as agreed and that is why he painted it instead of staining so I wouldn't know the difference. Additionally, the normal standard of care, to protect my property and those things not intended to be painted, was not taken therefore leaving me with replacement costs and the cost of hiring someone to come in and cleanup and do the job right. His fees are exorbitant for the quality of his work. Additionally, when I told him about the things he did that we not done as agreed, he brutally attacked me and I am a small woman. Chatmon comes across as a nice guy eager to please but he is quite the opposite, I found out the hard way. Not only does Chatmon's painting not meet the normal standard he is obviously unpredictable when asked to correct things that he should have done right the first time and as agreed. He is NOT an honest person nor is he trustworthy and will try to get by with whatever he can to cut his own costs of doing the job hired to do at the rate he charges. DON'T HIRE CHATMON SERVICES BECAUSE YOU WILL LIKELY SPEND MORE MONEY ON CLEANUP, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR THAN IF YOU SIMPLY HIRE SOMEONE QUALIFIED IN THE FIRST PLACE. HE IS DISHONEST, VOLATILE, UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNSKILLED. Hiring John Chatmon / Chatmon services with the biggest mistake I have EVER made in my life."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/lindale/chatmon-services-reviews-5290991.htm"},"position":10}]}

FAQs for deck and porch service projects in Grand Saline, TX
While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct home features. Porches offer a roof that protects from the elements when coming and going from the house. Generally, porches are on the front of your home. On the other hand, decks are generally built in the backyard of a home and offer no roof or protection from the elements, like rain or snow. Porches typically require less maintenance and upkeep thanks to the roof, but both features require regular cleaning and repairs to maintain good condition.
The cost to build a deck is $8,025 on average. However, this cost can range anywhere from $1,500 to $22,000, depending on multiple factors, such as size, materials, and deck type. You can expect to pay $30 to $60 per square foot when building a new deck.
Cedar decks are often the most cost-effective option, ranging from $4 to $9per square foot for materials. However, pressure-treated decking, which is resistant to rot, is more expensive, ranging from $15 to $25 per square foot for materials.
Yes, adding either a porch or deck (or both!) to your home can add value. Both of these features add character and curb appeal to your home, but even more importantly, they add an element of convenience. Plus, these home features create additional square footage of living space to your home. Adding a porch onto your home can give you a return on investment (ROI) of up to 84%, while adding a deck can provide an ROI of up to 80%.
Several types of porches are available to meet your needs and style preferences. Some common porch types include:
Porticos are essentially a roof over a walkway leading to the home's front entrance.
Sunrooms are closed-in porches that are an extension of the house with glass or plastic panels that allow optimal sunlight.
Wraparound porches extend around the entire home, or at least the front and one side, and offer multiple entrances to the house.
Back porches are an extension of the home’s floor into the outdoors. These offer more protection and privacy than a deck.
As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:
Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings.
Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard.
Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety.
Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.
