What You Need To Know When Choosing An Outdoor Living Space Builder For Your Project
Spring is here and everyone is poised to spend more time outdoors. It’s time to get outside and relish in the sights and sounds of the season! What better way to enjoy the season than with a new, or updated, outdoor living space?
Whether you are in the market for a deck, patio, porch, or all of the above, it is important to choose the right builder for your project. You want to feel good about who you hire and allow on your property. You want to feel confident in placing your trust in the company you choose to build your space. The process of finding the right contractor can be daunting. Maybe you have had a negative experience with hired professionals in the past when your expectations were not met or communications were not clear. Deck Plus wants you to feel totally at ease about your project. Our goal is to provide you with exceptional customer service from start to finish and leave you with the backyard of your dreams.
With our customer’s utmost satisfaction always priority number one, we have put together a list of the most important consideration when choosing a builder for your project.
Rome Wasn’t Built In A Day — Neither Should A Well-Designed And Built Outdoor Living Structure
Being an outdoor living space builder requires knowledge of materials and experience in spatial requirements as well as building codes. Always be wary of a builder that claims they can start your project on a dime, as reputable builders are in demand and will have a backlog of projects. Promising the ability to start a new project in a day, or a week should set off a warning flag to conscientious homeowners as a true quality project takes time. Even in the best of scenarios where backlogs are shorter, there are certain elements a professional builder will need to have in place prior to breaking ground on your project. These include permitting, HOA approvals, securing of materials and much more.
How About The Design?
At Deck Plus, we just don’t build porches, decks, hardscapes, and other outdoor living spaces, we customize their design to speak to your needs, budget, and spatial requirements. Our structures never appear tacked on to your home, our goal is not only to give you a space for total outdoor enjoyment but one that looks original to your home as well. We call it “always been there appeal”, and this element of our design is something that we are so well known for. The Deck Plus process begins by sitting down and listening to your needs, what functions you would like to enjoy in your new space, and the materials you like. These questions, and their corresponding answers, help form the basis of your custom design. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter designs, our designs are created so that the form meets the function in order to provide you with the vision of your ideal deck, porch, patio or combination space.
If you choose a contractor who knows how to build but doesn’t understand the importance of design, your structure is less likely to be as sturdy or as functional as if we had designed and built it. How does Deck Plus know this? Because we have been called upon on many occasions to rebuild or replace spaces that were designed poorly. A poorly designed deck or porch is not going to last as long as one that is well-designed. Bear in mind, flaws in the design can also lead to structural deficiencies down the road.
Expertise Should Always Shine Through!
When you begin your due diligence in looking for the right builder for your project it is important to ask if they have a portfolio of images from past projects for you to browse. If none are available, beware of just how much experience they have. Access to project portfolios, reviews. licensing and other information about the company you have in mind should be transparent and available to you.
Deck Plus has been building outdoor living structures in Charlotte and the surrounding region for over 15 years. Our website shows an extensive portfolio of projects we have completed and is updated on a regular basis. Not only does this portfolio show the type of work we do, but it is also a valuable medium to gain ideas and inspiration if you are just starting your journey planning your ideal space.
We also have countless reviews to read on Google, and Birdeye just to name a few, from customers we have worked with. These reviews are evidence of the success of our process and the satisfaction our clients feel with their finished project.
