Our Quoting Process

How We Quote Your Project — And Why You Get Your Number Within 24 Hours

Most deck builders take 2–3 weeks. We deliver a complete fixed-price proposal within 24 hours of your consultation.

Step One

Your Design Consultation

We meet on-site at your property. We walk the space together, discuss your goals, review site conditions, and talk through your budget. At the end of most consultations, we deliver ballpark pricing before we leave. You walk away knowing what your project costs before the formal proposal process even begins.

Step Two

Your Proposal — Within 24 Hours

After the consultation, we produce your fixed-price proposal using our proprietary quoting software. This software was built specifically for the way we build decks, and it calculates every material exactly:

Every board, counted by species and dimension
Every post anchor, joist hanger, and structural connector
Every linear foot of railing, fascia, and trim
Every permit fee and engineering cost

The result is not an estimate. It is an exact bill of materials for your specific project. No rounding, no contingency padding, no change orders for items we should have counted upfront.

Step Three

Your Build Schedule — Included With Your Proposal

Along with the bill of materials, your proposal includes a build packet — a phase-by-phase schedule showing exactly how long each step of construction takes:

Footer installation and cure time
Framing and beam installation
Decking and fascia
Railing installation
Final inspection and walkthrough

You know before we ever start construction exactly when each phase happens and how long it takes.

The Difference

What This Means For You

No other contractor in Northeast Wisconsin delivers this level of documentation this fast. You can make a fully informed decision — material selections confirmed, price locked, timeline defined — within 24 hours of our first meeting. That is the standard every project at Tech Five is built on.
