Wood
Consider the natural appearance alongside the care a particular wood and finish require. Ask about cleaning, refinishing, and long-term upkeep.
Talk about your project EXPLORE YOUR PROJECT
A little clarity.
A lot of possibility.
Start with the choices that matter to your home. Explore the ideas, then bring your questions to Canyon View.

Your deck is
more than its boards.
The layout, structure, stairs, railing, and surface all belong in the same conversation.

Start with how you’ll use the space
Picture the furniture, the path to your yard, and the people who will use it. Bring photos and rough dimensions if you have them; the construction plan needs site measurements.
Composite
Trex decking avoids routine sanding and staining, but still needs cleaning. Compare the specific product’s appearance, care instructions, and warranty.

Repair or replace?
Ask which parts can be retained, what needs inspection, and whether the current layout still works. A new surface is one part of that decision; the condition of the supporting structure needs a professional assessment.
02 / INSIDEStart with the
Start with the
way you want to live.
A better room starts with a clear reason for changing it.
Explore remodelingWhat is the room missing?
Separate the problem from the finish: more useful storage, a better layout, room for guests, or an unfinished basement you want to use. Name the one change that would make the biggest difference.
What belongs in this project?
Make a short list of must-haves and optional ideas. Discuss what stays, what changes, and whether the work involves plumbing, electrical, structural changes, or a different use of the space.
THINKING ABOUT WINTER?
Start with the calendar.
Tell Brady your preferred timing, household routines, and any rooms you need to keep using. Ask about availability, material lead times, access, and the work’s effect on your day-to-day life. A winter start depends on the project and schedule.
What will the space need?
For a basement, addition, or separate living space, ask which site conditions, design decisions, permits, and local requirements need to be resolved. Those answers are specific to the property and proposed use.
03 / THE DETAILSCompare the work.
Compare the work.
Then the number.
Two estimates can describe very different projects. Ask for the details that explain the total.
Scope
What is included, excluded, removed, repaired, and finished?
Materials
Which products, quantities, finishes, and allowances are specified?
Site work
What is assumed about the existing structure, access, and hidden conditions?
Responsibilities
Who handles permits, inspections, protection, disposal, and cleanup?
Timing & payments
What are the proposed milestones, payment terms, and rules for changes?
After the work
What product and workmanship coverage applies, and who do you contact?
These are questions to help you prepare. Your written proposal defines the actual work, price, schedule, and terms.
