How It Works

Our Process

01

Design & Estimate

We visit your property, discuss your vision, and produce a detailed design and written estimate — including material options and permit requirements.

02

Permits & Material Order

We handle permit applications with Westport or your municipality and order materials so everything is ready when the build starts.

03

Foundation & Framing

Footings, ledger attachment, and structural framing are done first — inspected and approved before decking goes down.

04

Decking, Railings & Finish

Deck boards, railings, stairs, and any finishing details are installed and inspected. We clean up the site completely before final walk-through.
