Anyone recommend a deck builder in the Ankeny area that could do some additions to an existing deck? Thoughts on price, quality, etc
TIA

Miller Construction just finished my deck last week. Ours is almost 6 ft off the ground 22 ft wide and 12 ft out from the house. Here is a photo:
You can go to Menards and buy pre-packaged decks and then assemble it yourself. You could easliy save thousands of dollars. And it's a deck, if you can read a level and use a hammer you can build it no problem.
Remind me not to go out on your deck.
You may want to be careful there. I had a buddy who built his own deck a couple years back and used screws on the joist hangers instead of nails. The inspector made him take the whole thing apart and redo it, using nails! He wasn't even allowed to replace the screws with nails because the nails would't be adequate after the screws ad already created the holes in the wood.
So, make sure you know the local code requirements before you build, if you decide to do it yourself!
