Certified Installer
Why Choose a Certified Installer for Your Decking Project?
When investing in a new deck, selecting a certified installer ensures that your project is in the hands of experienced professionals trained directly by the brands they work with. Certified installers receive hands-on training from manufacturers, gaining in-depth knowledge of installation best practices, product performance, and warranty requirements. This expertise translates to a higher-quality build, ensuring your deck is installed correctly and lasts for years to come.
The Benefits of Working with a Certified Installer
- Manufacturer-Trained Expertise – Certified installers are trained by the very people who design and manufacture the materials, ensuring they follow best practices for installation.
- On-Site Inspections – Many manufacturers perform site visits to verify that their products are being installed correctly and to their specifications.
- Extended Labor & Material Warranties – Certified contractors receive exclusive labor warranties from manufacturers, in addition to the standard material warranty, giving homeowners added peace of mind.
- Proper Installation for Long-Term Performance – Composite decking and railing systems require specialized installation techniques. A certified installer understands these nuances, preventing costly mistakes and ensuring a flawless finish.
