At our construction company, we take great pride in the quality of our work and the materials we use. We collaborate closely with our clients and tradespeople to ensure that we have a clear plan in place before we begin any project. Our foremen are briefed on the project before the start of construction, and we walk through the space with each trade required to ensure that every detail is covered. We also use the latest tools and equipment in the industry to ensure that our work is of the highest quality. We don't take shortcuts or use low-quality materials. If a mistake is made, we correct it from the root, rather than patching it up. As for our warranty, we offer a one-year warranty on all labor and materials, with limited manufacturer warranties if available.

At our construction company, we believe that a successful project starts with a strong design process. We begin by collecting ideas from the client during an on-site visit, where we assess the space in question. From there, we create a blueprint that serves as a starting point for the project. We then share the drawing with the client to gather their input and ideas. Once we have their ideas, we put them into perspective, taking into consideration what will work best for the project. We then create a Birds Eye view design and share it with the client for verbal agreement. If desired, we can also provide renderings for a fee. Our goal is to work collaboratively with our clients to create a design that meets their needs and exceeds their expectations
-
At our construction company, we are happy to provide a detailed breakdown of costs and expenses during the construction process for both commercial and residential projects.

Our breakdown will include labor costs, materials, permits, and any other expenses that may arise during the construction process. We strive to provide our clients with accurate and detailed cost estimates to ensure that there are no surprises during the project. Please feel free to contact us for more information about our cost breakdown process.

During the construction process, we provide regular walkthroughs to ensure that you are fully informed and up to date on the progress of your project. Additionally, if you request a personalized custom item, we make sure to consult with you every step of the way to ensure that it meets your expectations. Once the project is complete, we provide a final walkthrough to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the finished product. After the project is finished, we are always available to promptly handle any issues that may arise within the warranty period. Even after the warranty is up, we are committed to taking care of our clients and providing them with the support they need.
-
Currently, we do not have a showroom or design center for our clients to see and touch different materials and finishes. However, we have plans to establish a dedicated space in the next 5 years that will allow our clients to see and experience a variety of materials and finishes in person. In the meantime, we are happy to provide samples and images of materials to help you make informed decisions about your project.
-
While we do our best to anticipate and plan for any issues that may arise during construction, unforeseen circumstances can sometimes occur. When this happens, we promptly notify the client and work together to come up with a solution that meets their needs. If the solution requires only minor adjustments to the original plan and involves minimal labor and material costs, we will typically handle it within the scope of our work. However, if the changes require a considerable amount of work or materials, we will create a change order and propose it to the client. We always strive to be transparent and fair in our billing, and in most cases, we only charge for the actual cost of the additional work or materials. Our goal is to ensure that our clients are satisfied with the final result and feel confident that they are getting the best value for their investment.

Wood is a popular choice for its classic and natural look, as well as its durability and strength. We use high-quality wood that is resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage.
Composite materials are also a great choice for those who want a low-maintenance and eco-friendly option. They are made of a blend of wood fibers and plastic, and are available in a variety of colors and textures.
For those who want a more modern and industrial look, steel and aluminum are great options. They are strong, durable, and low-maintenance, and can be customized to fit any design style.
Regardless of the material chosen, we always ensure that it meets our high standards for quality and durability.

While following city codes is an important aspect of ensuring the safety and stability of our pergolas and decks, we go above and beyond to ensure that all necessary precautions are taken during construction.
We use high-quality materials and hardware, and all of our installations are performed by experienced professionals who are trained in the latest construction techniques. We also conduct thorough inspections throughout the construction process to ensure that everything is structurally sound and stable.
Our goal is to provide our clients with beautiful, functional outdoor living spaces that they can enjoy for years to come, without ever having to worry about safety or stability issues.
