You know what they say: Live and learn. When something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Think twice when a contractor lowballs you with the lowest price.
In addition to us being the favorite contractor of outdoor living spaces and places here in NE Dallas and Southlake, there are two reasons for that.
1. Archadeck of Northeast Dallas continues to be known as the custom designer and builder of outdoor living spaces that never disappoint. The accolades for excellence continue from our peers in the building business, as well as from our homeowner testimonials.
2. When locals realize way too late that they made a mistake by choosing another contractor instead of us because of a lower price, they typically regret it. That’s when they contact us to “Save the day” and correct someone else’s shoddy construction. That’s where our “Superhero” reputation comes from.
Most often, it turns out to be improper or insufficient structural issues:
• Decks that sag due to poor fastening systems.
• Ledger attachments that were not properly secure when installed.
• Framing and footings that are substandard.
• Stairs, railings and supports that are incorrectly installed making use of the deck unsafe.
It’s truly a shame that these unaware homeowners trust that the nonprofessional builder will be worth their salt, as they say. Poor construction of decks, porches, and outdoor living rooms by novices are unfortunately both uncommon here.
Calls for our renowned professional team to right those unjust wrongs are something we do, without any prejudice or misgivings. When there is a construction, function or usability situation that needs correction, we are here for you.
What Kind Of Safety Issues And Longevity Problems Do We See Most Often?
One of the biggest complaints from homeowners that did not select us first are connected to not validating the build site correctly before construction began.
Nonprofessional building competitors often focus on one-and-done. They build the structure and then high-tail it outta there. Referred to as a “taillight warranty,” they are often not on site to conduct a thorough quality analysis of the build.
Often times the management of excessive water from rain and sprinkler systems are not seriously considered in the original build plan. Without a focus on drainage, it often leads to serious issues that need to be addressed:
• Warping and cracking of deck boards making them unsafe to walk on.
• Rot from a collection of outdoor debris, insects and algae.
• Rust from hardware that is not weatherproof.
In situations like this, we need to resolve the lack of preparedness from second-rate builders. The most common environmental issues we are called on to rectify are:
• The pooling of water causing myriad problems, making the foundation compromised and a target for insects, mold and mildew.
• With ground level patios, water induced heaving can virtually destroy the structure over time, typically requiring rehabilitation. Pavers may shift in such a way where walking on the patio is unstable and risky.
• Without a drainage plan in the engineering phase of the project, performance for the long-term will be a serious concern that needs a solution.
Contractors who practice lowballing pricing typically underprice jobs planning to present you later with change orders to make up the difference. Not Archadeck.
