The Deck & Patio Design/Build Process
Our Deck Installation Process – From Vision to Reality
To build the deck of your dreams, we need to understand completely what you’re looking for, your budget, and your timeline. That’s why collaboration and communication are key components of our design-build process. Designed to keep you informed and comfortable at every stage of your deck installation.

Step 1
Discovery Call
The initial step to a successful project is a discovery call with one of our dedicated sales representatives. This 15-20 minute conversation allows us to delve into your project goals, budget, and our proven process. By understanding your unique needs, we can create a custom solution that delivers exceptional results.

Step 2
Meet and Review Options
Your designated sales rep will conduct a site visit to ensure accurate measurements and engage in a personalized consultation to discuss your design vision and explore material options. This collaborative process typically takes an hour or less.

Step 3
Design 3D Rendering
Your sales rep will use the information collected during the consultation and discovery call to create 3D renderings, as well as a detailed project proposal tailored to your specific needs. This process generally takes between 7-14 business days.

Step 4
Review Proposal & Partner With Stump’s Decks
After the design and planning phase, the next step is to officially partner with Stump’s Decks. Once all the details of your dream deck have been finalized and agreed upon, we’ll present you with a proposal. This proposal outlines the payment terms and all the necessary information about your project. You’ll then send us the signed proposal, along with a down payment, to confirm your commitment. Upon receipt, your project will be added to our schedule. From this point forward, you’ll receive regular updates on our progress, ensuring you’re kept in the loop every step of the way as we bring your vision to life.

Step 5
Prepare Plans
Our development team will now begin creating detailed construction drawings and initiate the permit application process, if required. We will proactively keep you informed of any information needed for your HOA approval and ensure a smooth process. We will compile a list of materials and strategically procure all necessary items, to ensure the project stays on schedule.

Step 6
Build
Leveraging our expertise in efficient and seamless construction, we guarantee a smooth build process. Our commitment to minimizing disruptions to your daily life is reflected in our established track record of exceeding client expectations.

Step 7
Enjoy Your New Outdoor Space
Enjoy your new outdoor living space, with the peace of mind that comes with a Stump’s lifetime workmanship warranty and excellent customer service.
“I just had a deck built by Stumps. It was a better experience than I could have ever hoped for. They worked hand in hand with my concrete contractor to get everything perfect. They did not even blink an eye when I made a change to the plans 2 days before they were to begin construction! I can not recommend them enough, they were great!”
