• Building a deck is a lot of hard work.

Despite how many DIY stories there are of people building a deck, there are just as many stories that are not successful.

• There is nothing wrong with turning to professionals who do this for a living.

1. What is the Warranty?

Perhaps the most crucial aspect of hiring a professional to do the job is the warranty that comes attached.

Any builder worth their salt will stand behind the quality of their work, which means offering a warranty.

2. Are you Insured and Licensed?

Consider this 1B in terms of the most important questions to ask. Any quality contractor should be able to produce a business license, an insurance certificate, and any other relevant credentials.

3. How Long Have You Been in Business?

Experience matters. While you could go the cheapest route possible and find someone on Facebook or some other amateur, the work will be amateur.

4. What Happens if Something goes Wrong?

It is essential to know that things will go wrong from time to time. Even the most qualified professionals have issues once in a while.

5. Do You Handle Permits?

Almost no matter where you live, permits will be required to add a deck to your property. Unfortunately, many DIYers do not know this and do the work only to pull it down because they are in violation.
