A deck can provide a beautiful space in your backyard for your family to enjoy. There are many things to consider before getting a deck built by a local contractor. Here are some questions to ask your deck builder before they start the project.

What do you specialize in?

Some contractors specialize in other outdoor projects like fence, railing, or pergolas. Contractors who specialize in deck building are usually better equipped for the job and do a better job than contractors who are more divers in their services.

Do you subcontract or do you do the work yourself?

Larger contractors often sub out the deck project to deck builders with less experience. Knowing who will be building your deck will give you peace of mind that the work will be completed properly. 

Will someone supervise your crew?

Some deck builders have multiple crews building decks at the same time. It is important to know that the person in charge of the crew building your deck is experienced and will ensure the workers do a quality job.

What is your warranty?

Deck builders often use products like composite deck flooring and vinyl railing to make for a long-lasting deck. As a homeowner, you should know what the warranty is for the main materials used in building your deck and if there is an overall warranty the builder offers to cover your deck.

Are you licensed and insured?

It is important to ask your deck builder what happens if an accident occurs on your property during construction or if the deck is destroyed during the building process. Knowing that you will not be held liable for worker injuries or weather phenomenon that could destroy the deck will give you more peace of mind during the project.

How much experience do you have? 

Ask your deck builder how long they have been building decks and how much experience they have in the construction industry. The more experience a contractor has the better quality you can expect for the project.
