What the DDT Estimate Process Looks Like

Getting an estimate from DDT Deck Builders is straightforward and takes about 30 to 60 minutes at your home.

Step 1: You call or email. Call 630-200-3945 or email info@ddtdeckbuilders.com. We’ll set up a time that works for your schedule. We don’t make you wait weeks for a first appointment.

Step 2: We come to your home. We don’t quote decks from satellite images or over the phone with rough measurements. We come in person, walk the yard, and look at the site properly. The site conditions – grade, soil type, proximity to the house foundation, access, existing structures – all affect the design and the price.

Step 3: We listen. We ask about how you use your outdoor space, what you’ve been thinking about, what your priorities are. Size, style, composite product preferences, railing ideas, whether you’re thinking about a pergola or lighting. This isn’t a sales pitch – we’re gathering information to design something that actually works for you.

Step 4: We give you a written quote. Not a ballpark. Not a rough range. A written, line-item quote that specifies the composite product (brand and product line), the railing system, whether the permit is included, the scope of work, and the total price.

You’ll know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs before you make any decision.

How to Prepare for the Estimate Visit

You don’t need to have everything figured out before we come. But if you’ve thought about these things, it helps:

Approximate size. Even a rough sense – “something around 16×20” or “enough for a dining set and seating area for 8” helps frame the conversation.

Composite interest. Have you seen composite decks you liked? Colors or styles that appeal to you? We’ll bring samples, but any direction you have is useful.

Budget range. You don’t have to share a number if you don’t want to, but knowing your range helps us design something that actually works for your situation rather than designing something you’ll have to turn down.

Your timeline. Do you have a target date? A specific event you’re hoping to have the deck done for? That affects how we think about scheduling and permit timing.

What Makes a Good Estimate Worth Paying Attention To

When you compare estimates from multiple contractors, a legitimate estimate should include:

The specific composite product by brand and product line
Railing system specification
Whether the permit is included (it should be)
Footing depth specification (should be 42 inches in Kane County)
Project scope in enough detail to evaluate what’s included
Timeline

A vague single-line estimate with no product specification is not comparable to a detailed quote. Questions to ask any deck contractor helps you get the information you need from every bid.

Important Considerations

We don’t charge for estimates. No consultation fee, no site visit fee. Free means free.

We don’t pressure you. If you’re comparing estimates from multiple contractors – you should be – we don’t rush you or use artificial urgency to get you to sign.

We answer our phones. Call us and we’ll answer or call you back. We know this sounds like a low bar. In the contractor world, it genuinely isn’t.

Estimates are specific, not ranges. You deserve to know what a project costs, not a $15,000 spread that means nothing.

How to choose a deck builder in Oswego gives you the full evaluation framework for comparing contractors.
