That depends on the type of the project. Patios and decks can range from a couple of days for small to medium sized spaces to a couple weeks for projects that are 1000 sq feet or more. Additionally, if there are more intricate components it can add on some time.  For porches most of the construction happens in spurts where most of the work is completed and then a few days in between when inspections happen and different trades are scheduled (such as the electrician for wiring or the painter for painting).  On decks and patios, except in rare circumstances, we will have the same people working there every day until the job is complete. If for some reason that will not be the case, we will always let you know ahead of time.
