He came on Oct 14 and returned an initial estimate providing a few different materials options on Oct. 16. On Oct. 23 we accepted one of the options and he submitted a final estimate. Tommy told us that his company was fully booked and we should not expect them to begin before Dec.1. We accepted that projected date and gave him a check for half the payment on Oct. 28. Before the Thanksgiving holiday, I called to ask if I could get a more detailed design than the "footprint" from which he made the estimate. I hoped to be able to see how some of the details would look since we were changing an elevation from the previous deck and moving the area of one of the levels. After a couple of phone calls, Tommy came to the house to answer my questions as we walked around the area. I would have preferred a diagram or picture, but this company does not use a computer aided design software. Nevertheless, Tommy was polite and patient with my concerns. Four workers came to tear out the old deck on Thursday, Dec. 11. They completed digging most of the holes and setting many of the piers. The next day two men worked to complete the piers. Rain caused some delays but the workers completed the deck in the afternoon, Dec. 18. Tommy stopped by to check on them each day except the last. He instructed us to give Wyatt the remainder of the payment when they finished and we did so. I was impressed with the work ethic and skill of the employees. They were polite and helpful. Before they tore out the old deck, they helped us move heavy potted plants off the deck and out of the way. At our request, they stacked some of the old decking for us to use on another project. If they thought anything might be objectionable or inconvenient, they checked with us first. They cleaned the site daily. We were never sure when they would show up, early morning or mid-afternoon. Some of that might have been due to the rain. Our presence was not necessary, so knowing when they were coming was not crucial to our coming and going.

I get compliments on it. The owner, Eric Davenport, is a nice honest guy. Now let me say that the primary reason it looks good is because I was able to monitor all the work and intervene on a regular basis because the Impact crew repeatedly attempted to cut corners. Maybe Impact Landscapes does fantastic work on their primary business which does not include fence and deck. Fence and deck work is not mentioned on their web site. I only obtained a quote from Impact because my neighbor was doing his fence and wanted to go with Impact and I thought it best if one contractor did both our fences, and my deck. But the quality of the work of Eric's crew was poor.
For example: using deck planks with significant fractures; the first attempts on the two gates were absolutely horrible; inconsistent vertical elements in the fence; one section of the fence is visibly not parallel to the fence posts; fence caps were not installed on the fence posts; installing two 4' horizontal fence pieces instead of one 8'; concrete plugs that hold the fence posts were finished off above ground; inability to cut a perfect circle in the deck for the tree; where the deck ends in the yard it is S curves and the curves needed a lot of work with a belt sander to get them to look nice and smooth. I didn't trust Impact to do the circle and the belt sanding so I did that work myself. About 7 months after completion I found that because Impact had left so little clearance between the bottom of one of the gates and the ground that I could no longer open the gate. I had to remove it and increase the clearance.
But the worst for last - Impact hired Superior Wood Care to apply the stain. They did not check the fence's top plate for debris and dirt so there are spots with no stain, but the worst is that the stain on the deck NEVER cured. The stain went down in early December. I stayed off the deck until March when I went out and gently wiped my finger across the deck and the tip of my finger came back completely blackened with stain. To this day, 9 months later, after rains and 3 or 4 jet spray water washings, you cannot wear house shoes out on the deck and back into the house because you bring some of the stain back with you. You have to vigorously wipe your shoes on the door mat. If you walk barefoot on the deck the soles of your feet slowly darken. I blame Superior Wood Care for this incredible screw up. The gallon of the Huemiller wood stain and sealant states "for use on...vertical, rough wood surfaces." "For decks, see our specific deck products."
Long story short - don't use Impact Landscapes for fence or deck work because they are going to cut corners every way they can. Sure, they will fix what you bring to their attention, assuming you don't ask for anything major, but who wants a contractor like that? That you have to watch all day long. That you have to be willing to walk out among the crew and say STOP! That hires sub-contractors who don't read (or care?) what the instructions specify on the products they use."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/the-colony/impact-landscapes-reviews-6499404.htm"},"position":10}]}

Don & his crew were prompt and professional. They replaced approximately 600 square feet of my old cedar deck with new framing & Trex Composit Decking as well as a 100 square foot wood deck & framing in my side yard. I am pleased with the results and would recommend Deck Design...
The pool decking was stained and stamped to match our existing pool stonework. They also poured us a new sidewalk, front entry landing, and did an overlay on our back porch so everything matched. It made our 1976 look like newly built home. The crews showed up on time, were very polite,...

FAQs for deck and porch service projects in Ovilla, 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.
