When choosing a company to build your deck or pergola project, it’s hard to know where to start. We understand. You don’t do this kind of work every day. We do. Here are seven reasons to choose Creative Concepts & Design:
1. Design Pros
I think our design talent sets us apart from a lot of other deck builders in Kansas City. We really listen to what you want. Our name is “Creative Concepts & Design” because we champion original ideas and great design. Our designers can take an ordinary deck and tweak just one or two features and create something more functional, unique, or beautiful. Big or small, we make the most of your space. Our customers are constantly surprised and amazed.
Partnered with Local Architects
We are also partnered with several local architects. All of them specialize in custom residential home construction and remodeling, and some have won global awards. If you like what you are seeing in Fairway KS, Mission Hills, Hallbrook, Staley Farms, Lions Gate, Weatherby Lake, Riss lake, The National, Loch Lloyd, Leawood, Overland Park, Shoal Creek… those are our architects hard at work. We feel blessed and proud to have such a deep talent pool that is willing to work with us.
We Design with ROI Top of Mind
When we design your deck or pergola project, we keep return on investment in the forefront. We strive to give you the best quality while keeping your overall budget and resale in mind. We know this is an investment in your home and we want to help you make the most of it.
Quality Is Always Paramount
We engineer with a higher level of integrity versus trying to be the lowest bidder meeting minimum tolerance and requirements. We don’t cut corners…anywhere. You can rest assured that when we build it, we build it right. We may not be the cheapest deck builder in the market, but we build our reputation with each project, so we make sure it will stand the test of time.
2. Communication
We pride ourselves on good communication. Usually, when a customer isn’t happy with a service project, it can be traced back to bad communication – either scheduling, pricing, or even something as small as leaving the gate open and the family pet escaping. While no one is perfect, we strive very hard to keep the lines of communication open and remain easy to reach throughout the entire project from design meeting through cleanup. In fact, our clients have access to the project coordinator’s phone number, the site foreman’s phone number, and even the lumber supplier’s representative.
3. Reputation
At Creative Concepts and Design our reputation precedes us. But how do you make sure the company you choose will do a great job? Don’t take their word for it. Do your homework. Check out reviews and testimonials online at places like Google, Home Advisor, Angi’s list, HOUZZ, Facebook, and others. Don’t assume the photos on their website are their work. Ask to see past projects in person and ask to connect with previous clients via email or phone. Most previous customers are happy to tell you about their experience.
4. Licensed & Insured
Most larger companies are licensed contractors, but it doesn’t hurt to check. Make sure they carry general liability and worker’s compensation insurance. They should be able to produce this paperwork easily.
5. Quality Materials
Ask where they are purchasing their materials. For example: KC Deck supply carries high quality deck materials versus Menard’s who carries low quality materials. We use only the best materials for your Kansas City pergola, deck, railing, screening or lighting project. Whether you’re wanting treated lumber, cedar, composite, metal or PVC we can help design and create the deck you want. We have experience working with many different materials and can help make recommendations and show you samples of the various material choices. During your initial consultation we will bring along samples and show you the differences and discuss your options.We want you to be informed buyers. Most of the time, like many other things in life, you get what you pay for. If the price looks too good to be true it usually is, so make sure you understand why it’s cheaper.
6. Professionalism
Professionalism encompasses many things – good communication, being on time, staying on schedule, you and your property (landscaping plants included), always being treated with respect, and cleaning up throughout and at the end of the project. We can make those promises with confidence because we know our crews and our personnel and we know they know exactly what to do. They are all full-time employees who understand the importance of acting professionally. You should expect nothing less!
7. Financing
Your deck or pergola will be a part of your home for a long time. Especially considering today’s manufactured decking materials that are made to last for decades. Make sure you get the deck you want. Financing can help ensure that you can afford the deck of your dreams by helping you spread out the payments over several years. We offer financing just for this reason. Why not enjoy your deck while you’re paying it off instead of having to wait to save all of the money? We offer zero percent interest for 18 months.
