Start with use and location
Explain whether you want room for seating, outdoor meals or a simpler connection to the yard. Show the door serving the deck and the area where it would sit. Approximate dimensions and photos help communicate the intended layout without treating a sketch as an engineered plan.
Compare the entire structure
A deck proposal should clarify size, level changes, stairs, railings, material choices and connections to the home. Ask who will address any required design, approvals and inspections. Those details should be confirmed for the property before construction is scheduled.
Keep future porch plans in view
If you may want a covered or screened space later, mention that intention at the beginning. An existing or new deck should not be assumed suitable for a roof or enclosure without a separate review. Discuss the current scope and future work as distinct decisions.
Prepare your deck building request
Use the checklist alongside this page to organize the information needed for a useful first conversation. The final scope depends on the property, conditions and selected materials.

Can I request a deck estimate from an idea sketch?
Yes, a sketch can begin the discussion. Site conditions, dimensions and the required construction details must still be reviewed before the scope is confirmed.
Does Romero’s also discuss screened porches?
Yes. Screened porches are part of the published carpentry offering. A porch and an open deck need their own scope and review.
Can I see examples related to my deck project?
Ask for relevant examples directly. Share the layout and materials you are considering so the team can discuss relevant examples with you.
