Decking & Outdoor Living Products

Mike was incredibly helpful when I came to him with a loose idea for a screened porch addition for my house. He was able to take my idea and develop a full and complete supply list and cost estimate. That's not where it ended. He then took time to discuss each and every item on the list. He explained the function and purpose of each item, and he also sent me pictures and drawings to further illustrate the information. Although I am a novice in this area, Mike treated me patiently and respectfully, and I feel like I was able to learn a lot. I would recommend that anyone seeking help on a project like this should consult with Mike.

Mike Miller assisted us in designing and carrying out our tri-deck build on our new house over the past 14 months. He worked with us on every step of the project, from selecting and recommending the best building materials and decking products to fasteners and building procedures. He took care of all the building material estimates and product ordering at Talbert Building Supply. That alone was a huge time-saver for us! Any time we needed input or advice , Mike had expert insights to offer as to solutions for construction, design steps and any how-tos. He has far ranging, in-depth knowledge in his area of expertise that he was quick to share. His working style was amiable and easygoing without compromising what needed to be done. If anyone is need of a deck building designer, advisor and consultant, we would steer them to Mike Miller first. Talbert is fortunate to have a pro like him on staff.

Hey Mike, Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that my family is still thoroughly enjoying our deck! It has become a well-used area whenever weather allows. We find ourselves on making breakfast and drinking coffee on weekend mornings and having supper outside a couple of evenings a week during spring and fall. Our previous deck was nothing in comparison. We appreciate your design experience and the Trex material that Talbert’s carries. We were worried about heat during the summer and the Trex material does heat up but it’s nothing that a few well-placed umbrellas didn’t take care of. Even the dogs love it and are sunbathing on the deck as I type this.

Mr. Miller, My wife Amy and I drove out to your deck show room today. We were very impressed. Thank you for such a good display and the samples. It was worth the 40 minute trip from Raleigh.

In November 2021, I had the genuine pleasure of working with Mike Miller, the Talbert Outdoor Living Specialist. Mike was instrumental in designing the deck of my dreams! He provided on-site design assistance at my home and listened intently to my ideas and answered all of my questions. It was so hard for me to explain exactly what I wanted, but Mike was able to take my vague ideas and transform them into a scaled deck plan that was even better than what I had envisioned! Then, he patiently made follow up modifications and suggestions for improvement that perfected the plan. I was so impressed with Mike and his decking expertise He provided me with three different overlay, scaled drawings — one showing my deck with accessories such as patio furniture, one showing how the decking boards could be laid to add visual interest, and the final drawing showing the actual deck framing. Furthermore, he assisted with material selections of Timber Tech products and pricing and made referrals for several building sub-contractors. I am convinced that Mike’s knowledge and experience provided the foundation I needed to get the best quality deck for my house. I am very grateful for his willingness to share his expertise and would highly recommend Mike to anyone considering adding a deck to their home.

Hey Mike we are 3 years and 3 months into our “new” deck and are still enjoying the heck out of it. It is so much more spacious and enjoyable. And to think all I wanted was 2 rectangles. Glad we met you!! I heard a quote recently: Quality ain’t cheap and cheap ain’t quality. Nuff’ said. Take care.

Talbert went above and beyond to help us plan and build out our deck. Justin was super professional and extremely knowledgeable and I could not recommend Talbert enough.
