15 L&M crew came over and knocked my patio extension out in one day the guys were very cautious about my sprinkler lines and the guys walked me through what the whole process would be. The porch extension looks great and they reassured me if the porch cracks he'll come out and fix it. Really...
I was very satisfied. They were courteous and very respectful. I told them that my husband is in Hospice and they came out that day, instead of making me wait 2 days. The young man cleaned off my porch and they didn't take advantage of me, even though I was desperate Highly recommend !!
HomePlace WorksThe pool installation was fantastic; the deck was built well, is perfectly level and built fast.

"I highly recommend working with Jeremy for any projects you have! We have a very old house in Fredericksburg that needed a little love and a lot of maintenance. It was challenging to find someone who wanted to take on the job. Jeremy came recommended by someone in a local Facebook group and he worked with us and our schedule over a couple of months to get everything completed. He repaired wood rot on our fence and wood siding and shutters on the house, power washed and repainted the metal roof of the house and shed, repainted the fence and siding of the whole house and shed, and refinished the front door. We will definitely hire him again for future projects! "

Welding and Fabrication gates entrances fencing decks and other general construction
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 $9 per 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.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
