Description of Services
Deck The Halls Florida provides professional deck services including consultation, design, construction, repair, restoration, maintenance, and related work. All services are described in specific project proposals or contracts, which detail scope, materials, timelines, and costs. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue any service at our discretion, though we will fulfill existing contractual obligations.
User Responsibilities
You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information when requesting quotes or services. You are responsible for securing any necessary homeowner association approvals or easements for your deck project. You must provide safe and accessible worksite conditions for our crew and comply with any agreed-upon preparation steps outlined in your service contract.
Estimates and Contracts
Quotes or estimates provided by Deck The Halls Florida are based on the information available at the time and are valid for a specified period. A formal written contract, detailing all project specifications, payment schedule, warranty, and terms, must be signed by both parties before work commences. The contract supersedes any prior verbal or written estimates.
Payment Terms
Payment terms are specified in your service contract. Typically, a deposit is required to schedule work, with progress payments due at defined milestones and a final payment upon satisfactory completion. Payments are due within the timeframe stated in the contract. Late payments may be subject to fees as permitted by Florida law.
Cancellation and Changes
You may cancel a signed contract within the cancellation period specified therein, subject to any costs incurred. Changes to the project scope after work begins must be requested in writing and may result in adjustments to the cost and timeline, formalized through a written change order signed by both parties.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any dispute arising from these terms or our services shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, disputes may be subject to mediation or binding arbitration in the county where Deck The Halls Florida is based, as specified in your service contract.
