How does a deck project start?

Every decks project begins with an on-site review. MG Builders then prepares a written proposal that identifies the planned work, materials or allowances, exclusions, expected schedule, permit responsibilities, and payment terms.

Review the property layout, connection to the home, footing locations, stairs, railings, access, and wood or composite material options.

What can a deck project include?

Most projects combine several of the items below, and the written proposal lists exactly which ones are in your scope.

✓

Wood and composite deck project options

✓

Footings, framing, stairs, railing, and home-connection review

✓

Access, privacy, lighting, shade, and outdoor-use goals

✓

Repair or replacement scope based on the existing condition

What should you share before a deck project estimate?

A useful first conversation starts with the property, the problem you want to solve, and the decisions already made. Include the details below so MG Builders can assess whether the address and scope are a fit before the in-home visit.

Describe Your Project
  • Photos of the home elevation, yard, doors, grade, and any existing deck
  • The approximate size and activities the deck should support
  • Stair, railing, privacy, shade, lighting, and access priorities
  • Wood or composite preferences and any related masonry or exterior work
