Need some help with home upgrade projects

[V8 Beast]

I have a floor that needs to be installed and am looking to install a deck/patio. Problem is my schedule is so lame that I've been sitting on this idea and the materials for the floor for over a year.

 

Before I went out and hired a professional I thought I would check on CR to see who you used for your deck/patio and any pics if possible. The wife and I are still debating on if we want a deck or a patio. Im hoping some local pictures will help move the process along (Im pro deck). The total price would also be great if you are comfortable sharing.

 

Last but not least. How much would one of you would charge to install the floor? Its a simple click together laminate. I know a lot of you have already done it and its easy, but I have no motivation to do it. Honestly, if I dont pay someone it will never get done. Its about 250 square feet, 1210mmx125x10mm planks (32 boxes), in a room with 9 corners. LMK

If you go with a deck, be sure to check on which material it's made of:

Pine: Cheap, but even pressure treated and water sealed, lasts 10ish years

Hardwood: Middle cost, but my parents got about 25 years out of their cedar planks before redoing it last spring.

Trex: Recycled grocery store bags. Supposedly indestructible, but I've no idea how well it absorbs color.
