From the Forum: Is it Too Late in the Season to Start Building a Deck?

In the works since the spring, construction work on a deck still hasn’t started. Now that cold weather is arriving, homeowners are wondering if the project has to wait until next year. All the permits are in place, a contract signed and a deposit paid, but the contractor keeps putting off the work, claiming a backlog of projects. Should they push to get the concrete work done as soon as possible?

Please chime in with your advice.
