Pool Deck Builder Long Island

Choosing a contractor to perform work on your home can be a arduous experience. Finding someone you trust to perform the work the way you want, in the time frame you need, is not an easy task. 

In this blog I will discuss a step by step process to ensure you end up with the right contractor who will perform the renovation of your dreams.

  1. Discuss goals and expectations for the project: You along with anyone else who has input in the decisions should discuss your goals for the outcome of the project including time frame and budget.
  2. Research blog sites and reviews on the products you may use: Have a good idea of what’s available and attainable in your market. Once you’ve read consumer’s opinions on a product, get ready to ask your proposed contractors for their opinions as well.
  3. Internet research on contractors: Use anything from Angie’s List to local family associations online for recommendations on licensed contractors in your area
  4. Telephone Interview: Call at least 5 contractor’s and conduct phone interviews. Pay close attention to their demeanor and willingness to answer questions. This will be a direct indication of how they will treat you when you have questions on a job site. Make sure they are licensed and insured. From the 5 you will choose three and call them back to set an appointment for an in-home estimate that should be free of charge.
  5. In house Interview: This is where you have to be prepared to explain the goals and expectations you have discussed. With all your questions written down, be prepared to take notes on information they offer or notes on their general performance during the estimate. How knowledgeable are they with the products you’ve chosen? How many jobs in their portfolio match yours? These are all key things to observe about your candidates.
  6. Discuss and assess the qualifications and general demeanor of your contractor candidates so that you make a great decision: By having a clear plan for your renovation, doing your due diligence, expressing these needs, and getting them in writing from a qualified service provider; you have set yourself up for success in this renovations process.

Composite Decking Materials North Carolina

When building a deck there are many options to choose from. One can go with cedar or treated lumber; or what’s becoming extremely popular is capped composite decking

Depending on your taste or your budget the capped composite decking can be an excellent look on your new deck. Here are a few reasons why capped composite might be right for you.

Decking

  1. Very low maintenance.
  2. Range of rich colors with a natural look.
  3. Excellent 25 year fade and stain warranty.
  4. Extremely durable: won’t rot, warp, or splinter.
  5. Carries the look of your interior outside with natural looking wood tones.
  6. Composed almost entirely of recycled materials, 400 million pounds of plastic are saved from landfills annually.
  7. Designed for use of hidden fasteners.
  8. Matching trim boards.
  9. Mold, fade, stain, and scratch resistant.

Railing

  1. Extremely sturdy and durable.
  2. It won’t rot, warp, or splinter.
  3. Pairs aesthetically with composite decking.
  4. Excellent 25 year fade and stain warranty.
  5. So as you can see we prefer the capped composite deck for its overall performance and longevity. As an installer and owner of these decks, I give them my stamp of approval.

Trex Deck Builder North Carolina

 Who What When Where and Why of Decking 

  1. Trex has made its mark on the industry not by being the pioneer in the industry, but by constantly being on the forefront of the research and development side of the business.
  2. Trex Transcend Decking and Railing are the leading brand and line of decking and railing in the industry.
  3. Since 2010, Trex Transcend decking and railing have been installed succesfully and without warranty issue by Blue Star Carpentry. Before that we installed all decking brands according to customer preference. Now our jobs are 91% Trex Transcend
  4. Trex Transcend Decking and Railing will survive any environment with no maintenance whatsoever. 
  5. Why is it so Successful: 
  6. Most scratch resistant boards – this is paramount when buying a plastic walking surface
  7. Best name and warranty in decking – years of reputation in honoring warranty claims
  8. Brilliant colors that won’t fade – Varigated colors lend a natural feel to the aesthetics of the decking
  9. Longevity of investment – these decks will last a lifetime as they will not rot.

Deck Design Ideas North Carolina!

You can find the original discussion at http://bluestarcarpentry.com/how-to-choose-a-contractor/

When a contractor comes to the home there are many things to consider:

  • Do they have current license and insurace?
  • Do they have a good track record?
  • Do they offer visitation to job sites?
  • Do they remove all garbage from job?


1.Are they licensed and insured?

  • Ask for proof of their license and insurance when they come to your home for the estimate.
  • Ask to see a copy of their license.Be sure they are working legally in your municipality.
  • Confirm that they have workman’s compensation in case their workersare injured on your property.
  • Confirm that they have liability insurance in case they damage your property.Liability also covers you, your family, or your guests for injuries resulting from the construction process.

 

2.Make sure your contractor has a good track record:

  • Ask for referrals of customers they have worked for. Some referrals are willing to show you the work.
  • Check reviews on Angie’s List, Trex.com, or Google Pages.
  • Call consumer affairs.
  • Call the BBB (Better Business Bureau).

3.Ask if you can visit an open job site:


  • This is a great opportunity to see the dynamic of who works at your home.
  • Are the employees easily identifiable with uniforms?
  • Does it appear that the employees are conducting themselves in a safe manner?
  • Is the jobsite messy?
  • Do they look happy to be there?

4.Make sure the contractor is responsible for removing all the garbage:

  • Will the jobsite be cleaned at the end of each day?
  • Will the debris be carted away?
  • Will the contractor have a dumpster in your driveway or trailers it away daily?
  • Do they run magnets in the yard to pick up nails and other sharp metals?
