What to Expect When You're Constructing

Managing expectations is a great way to have a successful construction project. If you are having work done on your property it is good to know what to expect so that you can make sure your needs and expectations are communicated to the contractor. Because of this, I thought that it would be helpful to walk you through the steps of our project.

First, when you sign the contract and send us your down payment, we will contact you as soon as we receive it. We'll let you know that we have your contract and we will put you on the schedule soon.

Once we have processed your contract and have you on the schedule, we'll give you a call the day before we start work to let you know that you can expect us. If you have a desired date to start the work it is a good idea to let us know well in advance so we can plan our schedule around it. Although it may not always be possible to honor your scheduled date due to weather and project constraints, we will stay in touch with you if we need to reschedule.

On the day of your project. Expect our crew to arrive early. Our work day starts at 6:30am during the season which means we may be at your property as early as 7:30am! Unless we specify, there is no need for you to be home during your project. If you have pets or delicate items in your yard, near our worksite, you may want to bring them inside while we are working.

We will bring our materials to the site and get started on your work! Our crews work hard, and it is distracting if they constantly get interrupted. If you have questions or concerns, its a good idea to direct them to our project manager.

Your yard may look messy while we are working. At the end of the day, we will do our best to tidy up as much as possible.

When your project is completed, we will give you a call to make sure you are satisfied. For larger projects we may schedule a walk through with our project manager. For most projects we try to save you money by putting seed and straw on the ground that we have disturbed. You should have grass within a few weeks. If you would like, we can put down sod so that your project looks picture perfect as soon as we are done.

If you have any questions about our service. Please don't hesitate to give us a call at 301-603-1080
