Request a Free Estimate
Tell us what you are considering, where the project is located, and how you would like to use the space.
Share the basic information that will help us understand your project:
- Project location
- Type of work
- What you want to improve
- How you want to use the space
- Preferred timing
- Photographs, when available
You do not need to have every material or design decision made before reaching out.
Discuss Your Project
We will learn more about your goals, property, design preferences, timeline, and the type of work you are considering.
This conversation helps us understand:
- The problem you are trying to solve
- The type of outdoor space you want
- Your priorities
- The property and existing conditions
- The general scope
- Questions or concerns you already have
Review the Plan
Once the project requirements are understood, Stellar Decks will explain the recommended direction, materials, scope, and next steps.
Depending on the work, the plan may address:
- Layout
- Dimensions
- Materials
- Colors and finishes
- Structural considerations
- Transitions to existing surfaces
- Related outdoor features
- Project scope, scheduling considerations
The project proposal will define the applicable scope, pricing, material selections, responsibilities, exclusions, and next steps.
Build Your Outdoor Space
The Stellar Decks team completes the work with careful attention to craftsmanship, communication, and the final result.
During construction, the team focuses on:
- Professional execution
- Attention to detail
- Respect for the property
- Communication about relevant project developments
- The completed appearance
Project timing may be affected by scope, material availability, site conditions, approvals, weather, and approved changes to the work.
Complete the Final Walkthrough
We review the finished project with you and make sure you understand the completed work.
The final walkthrough provides an opportunity to review the completed project, discuss relevant care or warranty information, and address final questions.
The final walkthrough happens here — on the finished deck, with the builder who ran the project.
Expectations
A Better Project Starts With Clear Expectations
No process page can eliminate every unknown in construction.
Unexpected conditions, product availability, approval requirements, and requested changes can affect a project.
