A Tip for Deck Planning

Before you can have a deck built, you need to decide how you will use your space.

Our tip: Go outside and place your patio furniture in the area where you think you’d like a deck. Don’t forget the grill, lounge chairs and any other furniture/accessories. Also plan for the items you don’t have yet, like a fire pit or hot tub.

Give yourself space to cook and entertain and then mark the area for the deck with string, yard paint, stakes, pool noodles, whatever you have on hand. Decide if it’s enough space and then take measurements. Now you’re ready to talk to a contractor and draw up plans for your deck!

Quality work! These boys are hard workers and you can tell that they don’t cut corners! We are so delighted with our new windows! Thank you Choice home remodeling! One very happy customer here!

A huge thank you to the Choice team for making the stress of choosing and installation of new windows and slider door seamless. Each person that we encountered was Professional, knowledgeable, kind, skilled and took Pride in what they do. They did a fantastic job, from protecting the floors, showing kindness to the dog and working in the brutal cold for 3 days and taking the time to show me all I needed to know about these windows and door. I will have them back to do the last door and 2 windows.

Family owned, local business. Thank you. Love the windows/door.

I had 7 windows and 1 glass replacement installed using Home Choice Remodeling. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a quality company. I needed windows that were good quality but not extremely expensive. I learned about Okna windows from the salesperson - I had never heard of them before. I am glad I listened because they were very affordable and are much higher quality than my current windows. During install day, the crew was very respectful and were in and out in much less time than I expected. They laid drop cloths down and made sure to leave the space exactly as they found it. I am cvery happy with the results. Great company!

Beautiful custom Pella windows in my historical family cottage. Thank you to Evan Kratz and crew for the loving care they gave the place!
