Ah, the great deck expedition! You’re ready to transform your backyard into the envy of the neighborhood – a place where summer barbecues are legendary, and relaxation is just a few steps away. But before you embark on this backyard bliss, you’ve got to choose the right deck builder. Not all craftsmen wield their tools with the same skill, and not all deck adventures end in triumph. So, grab your questing gear (a.k.a., this handy list of questions), and let’s ensure your journey to deck-dom is a smooth sail.

Conclusion

1. Are You Licensed and Insured?

First up, the nitty-gritty. Ensuring your deck builder is licensed and insured is like checking the weather before a hike – it’s essential. This not only protects you but ensures the company you’re hiring meets local regulations and standards. Plus, insurance means you’re covered, just in case the unexpected happens.

2. What Options And Features Do You Offer?

Deck design isn’t one-size-fits-all. Ask about customization options like lighting for those twilight gatherings, deck skirting to keep critters out, railing for safety (and style), pergolas for a touch of elegance, and even patio furniture to complete your outdoor living space. At Project Landscape, we believe your deck should be as unique as you are, outfitted with all the features that make it truly yours.

3. What is the Project Timeline and Crew Expertise?

Understanding the timeline and the expertise behind the crew is crucial. It’s the difference between enjoying your deck this summer or next. Inquire about their experience, especially with the type of deck you’re considering. Our team at Project Landscape boasts seasoned pros, well-versed in bringing diverse deck dreams to life, efficiently and expertly.

4. Are you certified?

Certification can be a testament to a builder’s dedication to their craft. At Project Landscape, we’re not just deck builders; we’re certified experts in a variety of composite materials. This means we stay updated on the best practices, materials, and technologies in the industry, ensuring your deck isn’t just built, but crafted with expertise.

5. How is Your Pricing Structured and What Payment Options are Available?

Talk turkey – or rather, talk money. Understanding how pricing is structured and what payment options are available (yes, we offer financing!) can help you budget for your project effectively. It’s all about transparency, ensuring you know what you’re paying for and how.

6. Conclusion

Choosing the right deck builder is the first step in your backyard transformation journey. Armed with these questions, you’re ready to vet potential candidates and select a builder that aligns with your vision, budget, and expectations.
