A good deck scope coordinates layout, setbacks, permits, foundations, framing, ledger flashing, stairs, guards, and material movement.
Build a complete scope
- Existing conditions and likely cause
- Preparation and protection
- Materials, compatibility, and installation details
- Permits, testing, cleanup, and restoration
- Exclusions, warranty terms, and change-order process
