Prepare the deck repair conversation
A pre-sale contractor visit can help discuss damaged boards, loose components, stairs, water-entry signs, and accessible framing. The purpose is to understand repair needs, not to guarantee a transaction outcome.
Planning your next step? Our guide explains from deck report to repair plan: what to do next so you can prepare a clearer request.
Bring useful records
Share prior inspection findings, repair invoices, permit records if available, and the planned listing timeline. These documents help describe the existing work without assuming that older construction is automatically approved.
Confirm what the buyer or agent needs
A contractor assessment is separate from a licensed home inspection. If a buyer, lender, or agent needs a particular inspection report, confirm the required professional and scope before ordering it.
