General Contractor
Patios and Decks

What to look for when selecting an ethical Patio and Deck Contractor:

The thought of adding a patio and deck to a home may sound very appealing, but if you do not make a wise decision it could turn into a nightmare.

When selecting any contractor to do work on your home you should select a contractor that:

1. Shows you their contractor’s license before being asked.

2. Explains the need to verify that there contractor’s license is legitimate.

3. Shows you a copy of their insurance cover letter.

4. Verify and actually call references.

5. Ask to see a real project that they completed and not just look at photos.

6. Ask how they handle problems and complaints.

7. Understand the warranty completely.

8. Get everything in writing, make sure what is in the contract is actually what is going into your house.

9. Never be pressured into making a decision today.

10. There should never be price drops. If you say no and they come back with a lower price, that is a big red flag.

11. Make sure that a permit is pulled.

What to avoid when selecting a business in this industry:

1. Contractors that do not show you their license and insurance policy.

2. Contractors that play price games.

3. Contractors that will not provide you a detailed estimate.

4. Companies that ask for excessive deposits.

5. Contractors that apply pressure.

6. Contractors that will not let you call customers or visit their previous customers. Most happy clients are proud to show off their new patio or deck.

7. You get what you pay for. If you want a well constructed patio and deck, spend the money necessary to get the job done correctly.

8. If you are told that a permit is not needed, end the meeting and look elsewhere.
