Call Pro-Built construction company they did a great job.

Those guys are $$$. Good but not worth it imo

I called multiple companies for estimates that didn’t show up.
What is funny is one company advertised heavily but didn’t want to come and give estimate .
That’s why I like Pro-Built they come give you estimate and do a professional job.
I have used them multiple times.

Good for you. But you still got ripped off.

No, it’s more than ten years ago and the work speaks for itself.

Doesn't change the fact that you overpaid. One of our neighbors in Silver Spring used Pro-Built for a deck/porch and paid 120k. Another neighbor shopped around more diligently and did a similar project for 2/3 the cost. I also found much lower quotes but did not proceed.

I just got quoted 100k for 18 foot deck and sun room but not with pro-built.

I see composite or tile being used in high end homes in this area

I would never own a deck made out of composite. Yuck.

Uggggj hate Trex. So gross and effing dangerous with like half of my shoes (Wood-soled? Leather? Not sure)

Yeah,
People are using “Trex” for all composite decking material.

"Trex" is a brand, but it's also become something of a generic term for synthetic decking. There are a wide range of costs and qualities.

What kind of hardwood? I've done a tigerwood and Ipe deck years ago and it was quite a bit more than Trex.

Yes that’s normal

Not sure why, but hardwood decks aren't popular in the DC area. I have an Ipe deck and it looks amazing. The only thing is that you have to clean it and stain it every year. Even after 6-9 months it sometimes starts to look shabby. It also depends on what kind of look you are going for. Most houses in this area, even 1-2 mil houses are plain Jane and have no character. For your average house, I would probably go with a PVC/Trex type deck because it's a lot easier to maintain. And most contractors in this area don't know how to install a hardwood deck, so I opted to DIY the job and it was kind of time consuming.

We have a different brand and love it. No splinters.
