The Premier Porches and Decks Difference: Your Project Life Cycle
Homeowners love adding screened-in-porches, covered porches, decks, and sunrooms to their homes because these structures extend living spaces, create a peaceful retreat, and offer a perfect balance between indoor comfort and outdoor enjoyment. At Premier Porches and Decks, we understand that every project is unique, and we are committed to delivering the best results tailored to your needs and wants.
Our process ensures that every step, from concept to completion, is seamless and transparent. Here’s an overview of how we guide you through each phase of your porch or deck project, prioritizing clarity, communication, and your satisfaction to bring your outdoor vision to life.
Step 1: The “Good Fit” Conversation
Our process begins with a Zoom meeting to have an in-depth conversation to ensure we fully understand your vision and determine if we are the right fit for your project. This phase is essential in aligning your goals with our services so we can deliver the best possible outcome.
During this conversation, we will cover the following key aspects:
- Your Wants: We explore your dream for the project, from aesthetics to functionality, to understand your ultimate goals.
- Your Needs: We identify the must-have features and essential elements to ensure your expectations are met.
- Timeline: We discuss your preferred completion date and any deadlines to make sure we can meet your schedule.
- Budget: We review your financial parameters to ensure the project aligns with your budget and to provide a clear cost estimate.
- Measurements: We take initial measurements and review the site to fully understand the scope and feasibility of the project.
- Design(s) & Details: We collaborate with you to customize the project’s design, ensuring it reflects your style and preferences.
- Q&A: We address any questions or concerns, making sure we're on the same page before moving forward.
Step 2: Receive an On-Site Estimate for Your Project
Once we’ve gathered all the necessary information from our Zoom meeting, we’ll schedule your on-site visit to provide you with a clear, detailed, and free estimate. This estimate is customized to your project’s specific needs, including materials, design, timeline, and scope of work.
Our goal is to offer full transparency, ensuring there are no surprises or hidden costs. You’ll have a complete understanding of the investment required to bring your outdoor vision to life, helping you make informed decisions with confidence.
Step 3: Signing the Agreement
Once you’re satisfied with the estimate and ready to move forward, the next step in our process is to formalize the partnership by completing the agreement process. This ensures clarity while setting expectations for the project ahead.
We provide a comprehensive, written agreement that outlines:
- The scope of the project
- The project timeline
- All expectations, ensuring everyone is on the same page from the start
At this point, an initial deposit is required to officially begin the project, allowing our porch and deck construction team to start preparations and secure materials. With everything in place, your project is ready to move forward smoothly and on schedule.
Step 4: Expert Handling of Permits and Design
At this stage of our process, we take care of the technical details to ensure your project is ready for construction.
We will:
- Manage the permit process, securing all the necessary approvals to move forward.
- Provide you with rough design drawings for review and approval, allowing you to see how your vision for your new porch or deck will take shape.
- Confirm compliance with local regulations by preparing a survey or plot plan.
- Ensure your project meets all legal requirements before construction begins.
Step 5: Professional Construction and Progress Tracking
During the construction phase, our skilled team works meticulously to bring your vision to life. From the moment materials arrive on-site to the final touches, we ensure every detail is handled with precision and care. We keep you informed every step of the way, so you’re always up to date on the progress of your project.
This phase of our process is where your dream outdoor space starts taking shape. With clear communication and expert craftsmanship leading the way, you can expect our professional porch and deck contractors to:
- Source high-quality materials tailored to your project specifications
- Organize materials efficiently on-site to streamline the construction process
- Develop a detailed construction schedule to ensure timely completion
- Provide regular updates to keep you informed on the progress of your project
- Conduct periodic “Wisdom Walkthroughs” and check-ins to confirm that everything is aligning with the original construction plan and timeline
Step 6: Our “Happiness for All” Guarantee
At Premier Porches and Decks, our commitment doesn’t end when the project is complete. We believe in building lasting relationships with our clients, and your satisfaction is our top priority.
Once the work on your covered porch or deck is finished, we conduct a final walkthrough where your approval confirms that we’ve met your expectations.
