How Long Does a Typical Deck Project Take From First Handshake to Finished Deck?

Hey folks! This is the team at Euro Decks.

Welcome to another Q&A session where we answer questions from you all on the internet.

Today's question is:

"How Long Does a Typical Deck Project Take From First Handshake to Finished Deck?"

Summary:

The owner states confidently that Euro Decks has by far the fastest turn time and build time compared to any other company he's worked with. From the point a homeowner commits to the project to the start of construction typically takes four to eight weeks, though intricate permitting can extend that timeline. Once construction begins, the crew is on-site every day, Monday through Friday, from sunup to sundown. Most decks take five to ten days to build, with larger decks potentially taking thirteen to fifteen days and smaller decks sometimes finished in just three or four days. Altogether, from the initial yes to enjoying the finished deck, homeowners are typically looking at a total timeline of six to ten weeks.

Answer:

That's a great question, and it's one that everybody asks, and everybody should know the answer to. I can tell you that with Euro Decks, and honestly compared to everybody else, we have by far the fastest turn time and build time of any company I've ever worked with or worked for. From the time a homeowner says yes, let's do it, to the time we begin construction, is typically four to eight weeks. Intricate permitting can obviously extend that, but for the most part, you're looking at anywhere from as fast as three or four weeks, which is the most typical, up to seven or eight weeks. Once we begin construction, we're there every day, Monday through Friday, essentially sunup to sundown. On most decks, construction takes anywhere from five to ten days. If it's a very large deck, it might take a little longer, maybe thirteen to fifteen days, and a small deck could be done in three or four days. But most of the decks we build take five to ten days, so about one to two weeks of building time. Typically it's four to eight weeks from the point of saying yes to the start of construction, and then your entire process, from saying let's do this to enjoying your finished deck, is typically anywhere from six to ten weeks total.
