My husband and I contracted with Coastal (Brandon) to tear down our original 29 year old dilapidated deck and to build us a 12′ x 16′ screened in porch. At the same time, our neighbors were considering a tear down and new build of their deck. We, both, received estimates from three other contractors whose costs came in considerably higher than Brandon’s. We both contracted with Brandon and less than 2 weeks later, our deck and theirs was coming down. Needless to say, we are ecstatic with the porch Coastal built. Brandon drew us plans for the porch, got all of the permits, and helped us find an electrician. We chose to use composite decking, wrapped the wood with vinyl material so it needs no maintenance, and chose not to have a ceiling but to keep it open to the joists and beams, which makes the porch appear larger. We have four cats so we chose to use a pet resistant screening system so the cats can’t claw holes in the screen. Brandon’s work crew were always respectful and considerate to us and to our property. They are highly competent and experienced carpenters and I could tell they took great pride in their work. The three men started their day by 7:30 am, worked all day and left at 5 pm, and some days at 6. Brandon kept in touch with us by phone, email, and text throughout the entire process and was onsite several times a week. Both projects were completed by May 25 so it took a little over 2 weeks. Brandon is detail oriented and knew that if he didn’t like a material I wouldn’t like it either. I didn’t like the porch door but before i could tell him he had already purchased a new door which i liked much better. He didn’t like the LED lights that he originally ordered which were to be mounted on the inside of the porch so he found better quality lights which we like better and that coordinate with our furnishings. Lastly, the building inspector who finally approved the porch told us that he sees new porches all the time and our porch, built by Coastal, was far superior in materials used and workmanship than many that he has seen. Don’t second guess yourself when selecting a contractor to build your deck, your porch, your fence, or your patio…..contract with Coastal (Brandon) and you will be amazed with the high quality, amazingly beautiful finished product!!!!
