A Guide for Hiring the Right Deck Installation
Contractor
Don't get caught with a deck half constructed and the contractor not to be
found. A deck is an extension of your home. It is your home's external living
space. A deck installation project should be given the same planning and
attention as a kitchen remodeling project. Unfortunately too many building
contractors consider it fill-in work.
The Deck Installation Bid Sheet will help to ensure that your deck is
installed to your specifications by a qualified and competent contractor, and
that it stays on budget and time!

Over the past 25+ years I have been involved with countless home
construction projects. As a teenager I helped my father build several homes
and various home additions. After obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in
Electrical Engineering, I purchased an unfinished home. I used my previous
home construction experience to frame, insulate, wire, and plumb the
unfinished portions of the home. I repeated this process a couple of years
later on another home. In subsequent years, and with much of my own personal
sweat equity, I continued to do other home construction projects, including
room additions and garage additions. In 2000 I tackled tearing down an
existing home and building a new one in its place. I wrote about my
experiences with this project, and in 2005 the DIY Network (a premium cable
television network) filmed a show featuring this project. The show was part of
a series and was titled “Be Your Own General Contractor – Vacation Homes”.
Throughout my years of home construction experience, and while pursuing a
professional career in the high tech space, I gained a wealth of experience
working with general contractors and sub-contractors. I learned how to work
with them, and most importantly how to hire them. From personal experience,
hiring the wrong contractors is a disaster. Besides wasting a lot of time and
money, you also find yourself in protracted arguments and difficult situations
that no homeowner needs or wants.
To help homeowners learn from my experiences I created a series of bid sheets.
Each bid sheet is comprised of several key sections. The first section is an
extensive questionnaire for potential contractors to complete. It asks all the
questions that should be asked, but most homeowners are unaware to ask. The
second section consists of rough expected costs and work intervals associated
with the particular project. The final section is a comprehensive summary of
my tips and advice on what to watch out for when reviewing contractor
responses to the questionnaire.
In addition, for major remodeling and construction bid sheets, I also provide
a separate Cost Breakdown spreadsheet in Microsoft’s Excel format to allow
homeowners to estimate and track their own actual home construction costs.
By utilizing my Bid Sheets you will save time, money and hassles, and most
importantly get the home construction project completed the way you want.
If for any reason you are unhappy with one of my bid sheets, I will provide
you with a 100% complete refund, no questions asked.
