Do You Know What To Expect From Your Deck Builder?

Have you ever been in the middle of a home improvement project you hired someone to do for you and you suddenly realize that you don’t know what is coming next and what to expect after that?

You’re not alone.

While spontaneity and mystery may be exciting in certain settings, when it comes to investments such as remodeling your home or adding an outdoor living space, that is certainly not the case. The best surprise in these new situations is no surprise.

Navigating The Unknowns Of The Deck Building Experience

Here at Deck Plus, we know the “unknown” can be scary, especially in regards to enhancing your property. We strive for unparalleled customer service that will not only meet your expectations but exceed them.

It’s important to discuss the process of a deck building project and what to expect during each phase. With this in mind, we have put together a clear itinerary of what to expect from your deck builder.

Realistic Expectations When Having A Deck Built

First and foremost, Deck Plus will be there with you from the moment of our first contact until after your new deck structure is finished should you need us. Unlike some “wannabe” outdoor living space builders, considered to be “fly by night” because of their disappointing deck building results, that is not us.

We are proud to rise above the fray and create our very own class of excellence in everything we do and in every deck building project that fortunately comes our way.

Our professional deck building heritage starts with the fact that we are locally owned and operated with deep roots in the Charlotte region. This is important to know if you want your deck to be built correctly, and built to last, as you need an accredited deck specialist that is familiar with the area.

What Should I Look For When Deciding Which Deck Builder To Choose?

Here are the 7 keys to ensuring you are selecting the deck building specialist you deserve.

1. Experience: Deck Plus designs and builds many, many decks, hence the origin of our brand name. In addition to the specialized deck experience we bring to each new deck project, our clients also benefit from the experience of a network of experts in process and material selection.

2. Materials: Efficiencies in deck building have progressed greatly over the past few years. With the introduction of synthetic and composite low-maintenance decking materials, many of our clients choose the carefree sensibility of never having to stain, seal, or paint a deck ever again. That being said, should you prefer the look and feel of real wood, it would be our pleasure to design your new deck with the finest woods that best meet your needs, be it pressure-treated lumber, or another wood preference.

3. The Latest Deck Trends and Custom Designs: Deck Plus works with new deck custom designs every day, and we follow the latest design trends. We’re up to date on new products including new railing styles – did someone say, “Drink Rails?’ – and the latest in deck lighting. With our knowledge and experience, we are in the best position to suggest design ideas you may not be aware of.

4. Check and Double Check Qualifications: Before you commit to an outdoor living home improvement contractor, check their references to be sure your deck builder is qualified to build the deck project you have in mind. Are they properly licensed, insured, and familiar with local building codes? Do they have the project management skills to handle all the details involved? How many projects like yours has the contractor done? A reputable deck builder will not object to answering these questions; they will expect you to ask them.

5. Professionalism: Deck Plus prides itself on following a precise project methodology and we devote meticulous attention to every single detail. It’s the details that can make or break the safety and success of your deck project. Part of our process includes conducting a comprehensive needs analysis to help identify exactly what you’re looking for.

6. Reviews and Client Testimonials: We encourage you to read our reviews. If you want to speak with clients, we will provide contact information to you. As one of the most accredited and revered social media platforms for home improvements, we are very proud of our accolades by Houzz. This year in 2022, as well as in 2021, 2020, and 2019 we were bestowed with “Best of Houzz Service Awards.” In addition to other social media review platforms like Yelp and Facebook, The Better Business Bureau has accredited Deck Plus with their coveted A+ Rating.

   

7. Warranties: Every new deck or outdoor living structure we design and build comes with a warranty. Deck Plus stands behind the craftsmanship and high-quality materials we use to construct our projects. Depending on what type of structure you choose (deck, patio, porch), it will dictate the terms of your warranty. For example, a low-maintenance synthetic deck may come with both a labor and materials warranty, as well as a manufacturer’s warranty depending on which decking material you choose. We will go over the warranty with you once materials have been chosen in order to give you the most accurate warranty details for your specific project.
