Tip of the Week: 3 Questions to Ask Before You Sign a Deck Contract 🏡
Hiring someone to build your deck or patio? Ask these three questions first. Get the answers in writing before you sign anything.
1. Will you pull the permit and schedule the inspections?
If they say you can pull it yourself, or that you don’t need one, that’s a red flag. Walk away.
2. Can I see an itemized scope, not just a lump-sum price?
Framing, joist spacing, ledger attachment, footing depth. If it’s not written down, it’s not guaranteed.
3. What does the warranty actually cover, and for how long?
A handshake isn’t a warranty. Make sure the terms are in writing.
At All-Pro Decks & Patios, every proposal includes permit handling, a full scope built to Minnesota code, and a written warranty. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting.
