Paying money up front is
not prudent
Make it a point to pay for your
deck or patio project when it has been
completed to your full satisfaction. When a down payment
or partial payments are made during or at the beginning of a
project, all parties suffer. In most cases the client will not
receive the quality craftsmanship and excellent service they
require once partial monies are paid. The contractor will lose
motivation without a clear and objective goal. If the revenue
is misdirected to anything other than your job, the carpenters
working on the project may not get paid an appropriate wage
and on time. Often times, the material suppliers will not receive
the payment on time for their products and services.
Get
the deck you really want for the price you agreed upon, every
time!

Pricing
for PATIOS
A typical patio off the back door
of the house will be between 200 to 500 square feet. We charge
$10 to $12 per square foot for standard gray concrete, $13 to
$15 per square foot for colored concrete and $15 to $17 per
square foot for multi-color stamped concrete. Your yard may
be several steps down from the door threshold and may need a
landing and probably a couple stairs. Landings are usually $200
to $300 and stairs range from $150 to $250. The size and shape
will determine the cost. The grade of the land may require a
thickened edge to be formed and finished around the perimeter
of the patio. Costs will vary according to the complexity of
the project. Sidewalks and driveways will be priced according
to their access and availability to equipment. All pricing is
subject to market flctuation and site inspection.

Being a part to illegal labor
will hurt you!!
Please, be aware of the market
prices within the concrete industry. When a quote from any company
is more than ten percent less than the rest of the qualified
competitors, you are getting ready to lose big. The fines for
knowingly hiring illegal aliens can range from thousands to
tens of thousands of dollars. Denver Decks will continue to
furnish the quality materials, experienced craftsman and the
exceptional service you have come to expect.
The
cost is never worth the crime!
