Deck builder website design

A deck is a planned purchase. Most of the people who find a deck builder have been thinking about it since winter, have saved photos, and are comparing two or three builders over several weeks, often while they wait on the HOA. The rest have an old pressure-treated deck with soft boards, a wobbly rail and grey, split wood, and want to know whether to fix it or replace it with composite. A few have a rotted ledger or a loose railing and need someone soon; for them the phone number has to be near the top of every page.

What have you built nearby? A gallery of real projects sorted the way a homeowner thinks (ground-level, multi-level, covered, screened porch), each photo labelled with the material and the town, so someone in Hartselle can find a deck like the one they want on a house like theirs.

What is it made of, and what does it cost to look after? A materials page that spells out pressure-treated versus composite versus PVC, and what each needs over the years. Most builders answer this on every call; a page answers it once.

What happens, and when? A process page that says how the first visit goes, whether there is a drawing before anyone signs, who pulls the permit and handles the HOA paperwork, when the deposit is due and how long the build takes. The worries are specific: a price that grows once the old deck comes off, a deposit paid to a builder who disappears, a deck that fails inspection, a yard torn up for weeks. A page that says what happens at each step settles most of them.

How do I start? A site-visit request form that asks for the address, the kind of project, the material they are leaning toward and when they want it done, with a line saying photos of the yard can follow by email or text.
