Benefits of Working with a Licensed Contractor

Hiring the right contractor is essential for any home improvement project or renovation, but it can be a daunting task for some. Most homeowners will request recommendations from friends, family, and local Facebook pages. However, not all contractors are equal, so it's important to hire a licensed contractor to ensure the quality of work and the safety of your home.

Working with an unlicensed contractor can be dangerous. They may not pull permits through your town, which means that you will assume all the responsibilities and risks of the project. These risks include not complying with state codes and work that isn't done correctly but goes unnoticed by the homeowner at the time the project is complete. These mistakes can create safety issues in the future, and the unlicensed contractor has no commitment or responsibility to help fix the problem after the job is complete.

Quality Workmanship

Becoming a licensed contractor requires time, money, and effort. Licensed contractors have passed exams and training to ensure they have the knowledge and skills necessary to provide you with high-quality work. As licensed contractors, we are required to follow all building codes and safety standards, which means that the work we do will be safe and up to code. 

In addition to being a licensed contractor, we are also Trex Pro Platinum builders, which should give you even more confidence. Achieving Platinum status requires builders to take lessons on the Trex product and a certain volume of Trex-approved decks.

Working with a licensed contractor who is also a Trex Pro Platinum builder ensures you get high-quality workmanship and expertise. At Deck It, we take pride in our work and guarantee your satisfaction.

Protection Guarantee for the Consumer

Hiring a licensed contractor provides you with legal protection. We must stay up-to-date with all building codes and safety standards and hold a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) license, which provides you, as the homeowner, with protection in case a contractor fails to fulfill their obligations or runs away with your money. If this happens, the state will reimburse you for your losses and remove the licensing from that contractor.

With this knowledge, you can rest assured that the work will be done up to code and safely. Licensed contractors are held to a higher standard of professionalism and can be held responsible for any code violations.

Knowledge of Building Codes, Permitting Process, and Warranty & Guarantee

When you decide to work with Deck It, you can rest assured that your project is in capable hands. As licensed contractors, we prioritize safety and adhere to the latest building codes and safety regulations. Our team stays up-to-date with all the necessary knowledge, ensuring that your project meets the required standards. With us, you don't have to worry about compromising on safety or legality.

Obtaining permits for construction projects can be a time-consuming and frustrating process. However, at Deck It, we take care of all the permitting requirements. Our experienced project managers handle all the paperwork and liaise with the city or town on your behalf. By entrusting us with the permitting process, you can focus on your project's vision, knowing that we have everything under control.

In addition to our commitment to quality and safety, we back our work with a comprehensive warranty and guarantee. Most licensed contractors offer some form of warranty, and at Deck It, we go the extra mile with our 25-year warranty for projects using Trex products. This warranty provides you with peace of mind, knowing that if any issues arise with your Trex deck within the next 25 years, we'll be here to help, at no additional cost to you. Our goal is to ensure that you have a worry-free experience, and our warranty is a testament to our confidence in the quality of our work.

Choosing to work with a licensed contractor like Deck It comes with numerous benefits. From our in-depth knowledge of building codes to handling the entire permitting process, we alleviate the stress and hassle that often comes with construction projects. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship and safety guarantees that your project will be completed up to code and in line with the highest standards.
