Custom Deck & Porch Construction in Bloomington MN

Project duration varies significantly based on scope, size, and weather conditions. Complete roof replacements typically require 1-3 days for residential homes. Full house siding installations generally take 1-2 weeks depending on home size and material complexity. Window replacement projects average 1-3 days for whole-house projects. Exterior painting requires 5-10 days including preparation, application, and drying time between coats. Custom deck construction takes 1-3 weeks from foundation to completion. Complex projects combining multiple services extend timelines accordingly. Minnesota weather significantly impacts scheduling, with winter months limiting certain exterior work. We provide realistic timelines during estimates and communicate any delays from weather or material availability. Rush scheduling sometimes available for emergency repairs though quality workmanship shouldn't be compromised for speed.

We provide comprehensive warranty coverage protecting your investment in exterior improvements. Workmanship warranties typically span 5-10 years covering installation defects and labor issues. Material warranties vary by manufacturer and product type, with premium products offering 25-50 year coverage on siding and roofing materials. We register all products with manufacturers activating transferable warranties that benefit future homeowners. Window and door warranties typically include lifetime coverage on frames and seals with shorter terms on hardware. Our written warranties specify coverage terms, claim procedures, and maintenance requirements. We stand behind our work and address warranty issues promptly. Material failures are handled directly with manufacturers when covered under product warranties. Proper maintenance affects warranty validity, with documentation of recommended care required for some coverage. We provide maintenance guidelines with all completed projects.

We accept multiple payment methods including checks, credit cards, and bank transfers for your convenience. Typical payment structure includes deposit at contract signing (often 25-30% for material ordering), progress payments at project milestones, and final payment upon completion and your satisfaction. Large projects may include multiple progress payments aligned with work stages. We provide detailed payment schedules in written contracts before work begins. Credit card processing available though potentially subject to processing fees depending on transaction size. Financing options may be available through third-party lenders for qualified customers on larger projects. We require payment in full before leaving completed projects unless alternative arrangements were established in writing. Material deposits are often non-refundable once ordering begins. We provide detailed invoices documenting all work performed and materials supplied. Payment terms are clearly specified in contracts with no hidden fees or surprise charges.

Absolutely. We provide detailed written estimates free of charge for all exterior projects. Our estimators visit your property, assess existing conditions, discuss your goals and preferences, take measurements, and identify any underlying issues requiring attention.

We explain various material options with associated costs helping you make informed decisions within your budget. Estimates remain valid for specified periods (typically 30-60 days) though material prices occasionally require adjustment if projects delay significantly.

We're happy to answer questions and provide additional clarification on any estimate elements.
