Mr Levi gets a call every week from clients who decided to hire a cheaper bidder. There’s no “fixing” poor craftsmenship. The install of high end luxury products is not the place to save money on labor.
This is shaping up to be a record year for us not only in deck and porch builds but also a record year for call backs from customers who found a cheaper bidder. Unfortunately, We cannot repair an improperly built deck.
Below are some reasons to do your due diligence before signing a contract.
1) Courts will not rule in your favor if you’ve deliberately hired an unlicensed builder (search the company on DPOR)
2) DPOR will not issue a claim from the contractors recovery fund
3) The composite manufacturers will not honor warranties on decks built by uncertified builders. Yes, these products require certifications and training. (search their business on the manufacturer website)
4) Neither the builder’s general liability insurance nor the homeowners insurance will cover poor craftsmanship
We respect every working man/woman in the trades trying to support their families, even low ball chuck in a truck, but an $80/sqft product is not the place to learn the basics of carpentry.
