What to Look for Before You Sign a Deck Contract
Price isn't everything.
Most people think a deck estimate is just about the price. You get three quotes, and you’re tempted to go with the one that saves you a few grand. But a quote doesn't tell you how the crew treats your yard, how they handle permits, or what happens when a piece of trim doesn't line up perfectly.
How To Pick A Good Deck Builder
A "cheap" deck is often the most expensive thing you’ll ever buy. It’s the missing flashing that causes a leak in your kitchen wall two years later. It’s the contractor who uses "day labor" instead of a dedicated crew that actually knows how to install Trex. If you’re hiring based on price alone, you’re usually hiring someone else’s problems.
