If you are planning to build a deck in your home then here is a 4 step plan that will help you build a perfect new deck:
Step 1: Start by identifying the location where you want to build the deck. The spot you choose should be large enough to build a decent size deck. The deck or the furniture sitting on it should not be blocking any doors or windows as required by the city office.
Step 2: Next, secure all the necessary permits and approvals from your HOA, city building office, and utility office (if you have any power cables going through where you want to build your deck).
Step3: Now it is time to decide the size, material, look, and color of your deck. This will help you figure all the supplies you need and how much it will cost. You can look online for some design ideas. You can also get some home décor magazines or real estate magazines to look for ideas. You ask your deck builder that you will hire to make suggestions and show some designs and you can even go to your local hardware store to look at some designs in their catalogue.
Step 3 The last thing you need to do is find a good person to build you a deck. Go to Google and type: “Sunderland decking contractor”. You will see a list of contractors. Read their reviews and short list 2 or 3 that you like.
Step 4: Once you shortlist a few you like, reach out to them, discuss your deck and request a quote. Then hire the one who offers the best terms to build you deck. Just make sure that whoever you hire is a registered business and carries insurance.
That is it. Now you are ready to build the deck.
