Deck Construction & Repair

What to Include in Your Request

• New deck construction planning
• Existing deck repair requests
• Decking, steps, and railing scope discussions
• Related exterior carpentry and finishes

Plan a new deck around its use

Describe how you want to use the deck, its approximate size, and how it connects to the house and yard. Include photos of the site, changes in ground level, access, and any existing plans. Materials and design requirements can then be discussed for the actual property.

Identify what needs repair

For an existing deck, send wider photos and details of worn boards, steps, railings, or other visible damage. The surface alone does not establish the condition of the supporting structure. Assessment may be needed to determine whether a localized repair or a broader scope is appropriate.

Agree on construction and finishing

Decking, railings, steps, and any painting or staining should be named in the estimate. Discuss design, structural details, project approvals, and responsibility for related work before scheduling. Material choice and site conditions affect the project plan.

From Inquiry to Agreed Scope

1. Share the location, intended use, dimensions, and site or deck photos.
2. Review existing conditions, materials, access, and project requirements.
3. Agree on construction or repair work and any separate finishing scope.

What Helps Us Prepare an Estimate

For a new deck, include sketches or plans if available. For repairs, identify the affected areas and any known history. Let us know your preferred timing and whether removal of existing materials is part of the request.
