Questions

Common Questions

How long does a typical project take?+

Most projects run 4–8 weeks from design kickoff to completion — smaller patios on the shorter end, full rooftop terraces on the longer. We give you a detailed week-by-week schedule after the initial site visit.

What areas do you serve?+

We serve Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. If you're just outside these areas, reach out and we'll let you know if your project is a fit.

What types of projects do you take on?+

We design and build complete outdoor living spaces — decks, rooftop terraces, patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, fences, planters, and custom exterior renovations. We work in wood and composite decking, porcelain and wood pavers, flagstone, bluestone, granite, turf, and green-roof systems.

Do you offer free estimates?+

Yes. Every project starts with a free, no-obligation consultation. We'll visit your space, talk through what you have in mind, and give you a clear estimate.

Are you licensed and insured?+

Yes — we're fully licensed and insured in New York. NYC Home Improvement Contractor License #2119904-DCWP. We're happy to provide proof of insurance before any work begins.

Do I need a permit, and do you handle it?+

In many cases, yes — and we handle the entire process for you. After reviewing your project we'll tell you whether a permit is required, then manage DOB filings, structural engineering where needed, and coordination with building management for co-ops and condos in New York City. If an architect is required, we bring one in and get it moving.

What materials do you recommend for rooftops?+

We favor porcelain pavers for durability and low maintenance. All installations include proper drainage, waterproofing, and thermal movement detailing.

How do you maintain the work after installation?+

We offer annual maintenance visits. Hardwood decks benefit from a light cleaning and oiling once a year; stone and porcelain require almost none.

How do I get a quote?+

Fill out our quote request form with your project details, photos, and any inspiration. Our design team reviews it and assigns a project manager suited to your project. We'll reach out to discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, and if we're a good fit, we'll schedule a consultation and recommend next steps.

Do you provide design services?+

Yes. Design is built into our process. We create to-scale layouts, material boards, and detailed drawings before anything is built — so you know exactly what you are getting and why each decision was made.

Can you work with existing plans or drawings?+

Absolutely. If you already have plans, drawings, or architectural documents, please upload them with your inquiry so our team can review them.

Do you offer financing?+

Yes. We offer financing through HFS Financial — you can apply online in minutes. Ask us for the link when you request your estimate, or mention it during your consultation.
