Affordable Custom Decks and More

Many truck and ladder contractors are not licensed and the majority of those that are only have a B or C license. Only a Class A licensed contractor can modify an existing wall on your home. If a Class B or C licensed contractor modifies an existing wall on your home you, the homeowner, may be liable for damages incurred due to improper construction. Affordable Custom Decks always maintains a Class A license and carries copies of its licenses in all its trucks.

Many truck and ladder contractors do not carry the proper insurance and if an accident occurs on your property, you could be held liable, regardless of fault. Affordable Decks always carries current Workman’s Compensation and General Liability insurance to protect the homeowner. Ask your contractor to show proof of current insurance to be absolutely certain you are protected.

Many truck and ladder contractors only carry a cell phone and don’t maintain an office with a phone. They do this to limit their exposure to customers. Truck and ladder contractors can screen their calls on a cell phone and only return the calls that they choose to. Affordable Decks maintains a fully-staffed office which is located at 2505 Horse Pasture Rd Virginia Beach, VA 23453. We can be reached 9-5pm Monday through Friday and always promptly return after hours calls.

Many truck and ladder contractors require large upfront deposits to finance your project. Contractors requiring large deposits may have little or no cash due to pending lawsuits or poor cash flow management. Affordable Custom Decks never requires more than a 25% deposit.

Many truck and ladder contractors will require you, the homeowner, to pull the building permit. Contractors who require you to pull the permit are typically in arrears with the city or do not have the correct license or insurance. When you pull the permit you bear all the risk and liability associated with your home improvement project. Affordable Custom Decks never requires customers to pull their own permit to protect the homeowner and ensure the project goes smoothly.
