What Happens On-Site

What we cover during your consultation

We send one of our installers, not a salesperson, to your Parker property. That matters because the person measuring your deck is the same type of person who will install it. They know what to look for in the framing: ledger board condition, joist spacing, post bearing points, and drainage slope. In Parker neighborhoods like Pradera, Stroh Ranch, and the communities along Parker Road, deck framing conditions vary considerably depending on build year and builder, and problems discovered at install are more expensive to resolve than problems discovered at consultation.

The consultation covers the full scope of your project. If you are considering an Under Deck system plus a pergola, we plan both together because the drainage routing, panel sizing, and post placement interact. A project designed as a single system from the start installs cleaner and performs better than two separately planned systems bolted together afterward.

Drainage routing mapped before any materials ordered
Cover options reviewed with samples (louvered, polycarbonate, open)

Framing Assessment

Why framing condition matters at 5,800 feet

Parker’s elevation and freeze-thaw cycles are harder on deck framing than lower-elevation Colorado communities. Ledger boards on homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s sometimes show moisture infiltration at the flashing line. Joist ends at the rim board can have checking or softening that does not affect the deck’s current use but does affect whether the Under Deck framing can be attached as designed. We find this at about 20 percent of Parker consultations. When we do, we document it, explain the implications, and outline the remediation options before any commitment is made. That is a better outcome than finding it at install when materials have already been ordered.

No Commitment

What you leave with after the visit

At the end of the consultation you receive a written scope that includes the deck dimensions, framing notes, recommended system type, cover option, and a materials specification. This is not a contract. It is a reference document that lets you compare options accurately if you talk to other contractors. Most Parker homeowners tell us having a written spec makes the comparison much clearer because they are comparing actual scope rather than vague verbal descriptions.

We do not follow up with pressure sales calls. We follow up once after the visit to answer any questions that came up after you had time to review the scope. After that, the next contact is yours to make on your timeline.

Common Questions

Answers before you call

Is the design consultation really free?

Yes, the on-site consultation is free with no obligation. We do not charge a design fee and we do not require a deposit or contract to schedule the visit.

How long does the consultation take?

Most Parker consultations run 45 minutes to 90 minutes depending on deck size and project complexity. A simple Under Deck ceiling is faster to scope than a combined Under Deck-pergola project with drainage routing questions.

Who comes to the consultation?

One of our experienced installers, not an outside salesperson. They have done hundreds of installs and can assess your framing condition, identify drainage challenges, and answer technical questions on the spot. This is something we do differently from companies that send a rep who then has to relay questions back to a technical team.

Can I get the consultation scope in writing before I decide?

Yes. That is the standard. You receive a written scope document at the end of the visit covering dimensions, framing notes, recommended system, and materials specification. You are not signing anything and the document is for your reference.

What if my framing needs repair before installation?

We document any framing concerns found during the consultation and explain the remediation options. Minor repairs can sometimes be done as part of the installation scope. More significant framing issues are referred to a carpenter or general contractor, and we can recommend local Parker contractors we have worked with successfully.
