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!

Excellent

Choice Windows, Doors & More, Inc.

My wife and I recently had several windows replaced by Choice Home Remodeling, and we couldn't be happier with the results! The team was incredibly quick, skilled, and very detail-oriented. They also kept everything remarkably neat and tidy.

We're so pleased with their work that we're already looking forward to potentially working with them on future home improvement projects.

Response from the owner:Thank you Charles, we look forward to working with you in the future!

Choice recently installed 13 new windows and shutters at my house. Very happy with the service and communication during every step of the project (i.e., Sales, planning, installation, and post-install inspections and payment). They installed my new roof a couple years ago and I was equally as happy. I have referred Choice to family and friends in Lancaster, Chester, and Delaware counties. Everyone at Choice is very friendly and appreciate their work; can’t go wrong with Choice.

Response from the owner:Thank you Joe for your kind review, referrals, and continued partnership with Choice. We are proud to have provided the same quality service now as we did a few years ago.

This was our first experience(and definitely NOT our last!) w/Choice and we found them to be outstanding throughout the entire process. The office staff as well as the installers were courteous, efficient, knowledgeable and eager to answer any question that we asked. We were also impressed w/ the quality workmenship displayed by Ryan, Dominic(windows) and Doug(doors and trim).
WE give the entire staff at "Choice" our highest recommendation!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! We're overjoyed to hear that your first project with us was such a positive one. It means a lot to know that our team's professionalism and craftsmanship made an impression. We'll be sure to pass along your compliments to Ryan, Dominic, and Doug. We truly appreciate your trust in us and look forward to working with you again!

My wife and I just had our front door replaced by Choice. The process of determining the door style, color, material, etc. was made simple and effective by Tim. His communication and follow up through the entire process was excellent. Install took only part of the day and couldn't have been handled any better. Our installer, Doug, was personable, hard working and clearly skilled in every aspect of removing our old door and installing the new one. We are thrilled with our new door and our experience with Choice. High Recommend!

Response from the owner:Thank you John for the review. We are happy to hear you had such a positive experience from start to finish!
