Kevin Considine says, "We were looking to close in an existing carport under the main roof of our house in the City Of Tampa.....a couple of walls, windows and a door...like a good citizen, I tried to apply for a permit and to my dismay i could not apply for a permit, without a Sealed Blueprint/Drawing from a Draftsman or Structural Engineer......my first 3 weeks of trying to find a company who would even give me a quote(MOST COMPANIES SAID THIS WAS TOO SMALL OF A PROJECT FOR THEM TO DRAW A PLAN), only ended with me getting quotes in $4000 and above...for a simple plan. No electrical, no HVAC, no SF changes....and finally after almost giving up, I found Holmes Drafting Svcs...I dont even know how I found them....the way algorithms are, I think they showed up in one of my feeds or something...but thank goodness! I spoke with a well informed girl (sorry I think her name was Alexis????? sorry if not), and she set my mind at ease almost instantly after I explained my needs and pleaded for help....she pleasantly said Holmes Drafting is there to help! And Help they did. Kyle came to do a site visit and was quick and very descript in his explanation of the process. I immediately felt a weight being lifted of my shoulders....he adjusted the price and provided the quote for the scope of work, and it was even cheaper than estimated! Not only that...the process takes time...there's an initial drawing made then sent for approval or changes, (and I had a couple of small changes), then the actual sealed drawing sent...the entire thing traditionally takes at least a couple of weeks, but these guys were done in a week! We are so thankful!!!!Without a doubt...HOLMES DRAFTING SERVICES comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from the Considine family.....we rcvd no discount to provide a good review or anything extra....this review was EARNED...just have a conversation with Kyle and you will see, this man has a heart of gold and a strong head on hs shoulders..dont waste your time with any other drafting svc.Thank you again!"See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much is a porch?

It costs about $5,000-$10,000 to build a small, basic porch, according to HGTV. Prefabricated porches typically cost around $10,000-$30,000. Larger, custom-made porches can cost as much as $50,000. 

To find out exactly how much your porch will cost, request a cost estimate from a porch builder near you.

Does adding a porch increase home value?

A porch may increase your home’s value and boost its curb appeal. However, you’ll need to do your research to understand what types of home upgrades can attract potential buyers.

Does a porch need foundations?

Yes, your porch should have a foundation that adheres to your local building codes. You can often find this information online. You can also consult your porch builder and ask for their help when navigating building codes.

What is a sleeping porch?

A sleeping porch is a screened balcony or deck that contains sleep furnishings and cool breezes. If you live in a region that experiences warm weather at night, these porches can provide a way to escape the heat and get a good night’s sleep. 

How much does it cost to build a deck?

The cost of building a new deck or porch is $1,500. However, this price can vary depending on a few different factors. The square footage of the space, the type of materials to be used, the intricacy of the project and your specific region can cause the price to fluctuate. To find out how much your new deck will cost, get free estimates from the best deck contractors near you.

Does a deck increase home value?

A back deck may (or may not) increase your home’s value or attract potential buyers if you’re looking to sell. According to the Remodeling Impact Report: Outdoor Features, a new wood deck with an estimated construction cost of $10,000 recovered $8,000 for the overall recovery of 80%. Still, 9% of realtors suggested that home sellers should add a new wood deck before putting their home on the market, and 4% said this project has helped closed deals. 

The impact of adding a new deck will likely depend on its material (wood, composite, etc.) and where you live. For example, if you live in an area where people rarely spend time outside because of the weather, it’s reasonable to predict that prospective home buyers might not rate a deck highly on their list of must-haves when looking for a new home.  

When in doubt, consult with your realtor or a real estate expert to figure out if adding a new deck to your home is the right move to increase your home’s value. If it is, contact the best deck contractors near you to get free estimates and start planning your project.  

Is it hard to build a deck yourself?

If you don’t have the skills, experience and qualifications, building a deck may be difficult for you to do on your own.

Structural integrity is key when constructing anything, but especially something you plan to have your family and friends use regularly. The safety of the structure takes careful planning and experience.

Professional contractors have the knowledge to make a safe, beautiful deck for you. They also know the proper permits and insurance required to legally build a new deck or remodel a porch in your city.

When in doubt, contact the best deck contractors near you and start getting free estimates today.

What should I ask a deck contractor?

One of the first questions you should ask is whether the contractor has the proper license or insurance. To be a licensed contractor in many states, they must have the experience and knowledge to pass the requirements from your state’s licensing board. 

You should also inquire if they have done work related to your specific project. Just because they’re a contractor, that doesn’t mean they’ve built a deck or an addition like yours. Ask for photographs of decks they've built in the past, and go online to read reviews from past clients.

You also need to ask for a free estimate from several contractors so you know how much the project will cost you (and so you can pay the best price).
