If you are looking to add to your home, consider hiring a deck builder to create a unique and well-designed outdoor space. Decks are perfect for relaxation and entertaining guests, and these structural additions make a beautiful addition to your home. Valley Fence, a custom fence and deck company servicing Kalispell, MT, and the Greater Flathead Valley, understands the importance of making sure customers receive the beautiful deck they always wanted. 

Below, the team at Valley Fence provides a few questions to ask your deck builder before the job begins:

  • What’s Your Experience?

Depending on the scale of your new deck, you may require a builder who has experience building designs similar to yours. You should always inquire about your contractor’s level of experience. A smaller design may not need a master builder, but a larger layout would require a seasoned professional.

  • Do You Have Licensing & Insurance?

Ask your deck builder about licensing and insurance. This paperwork will help safeguard your property and your contractor in case of an accident or faulty construction. Without this paperwork, you may not have protection against damages. 

  • Do You Offer Warranties?

decksWarranties are another form of protection for you in case things go awry, covering the use of defective materials and more. If there are no warranties, ask about other guarantees for the deck builder’s work. 

  • When Will the Deck be Finished?

You shouldn’t expect an exact date for deck's completion, but you should get a rough estimate based on the chosen design and the layout of your house. While you can’t expect an exact date, a professional deck builder should be able to give you an idea of how long the project will take and stay on schedule.

  • What are Your Specializations?

Not all decks are the same, so it is not uncommon for some builders to have more experience working with certain materials than others. Always inquire about your contractor’s specializations. It is best to make sure they are comfortable using your preferred materials.
