What Happens After Your Proposal Is Approved?
Nine considered steps that take your project from approved proposal to a finished outdoor living space you’ll enjoy for many years to come.
Many customers tell us afterwards that the survey was the most helpful part of the entire process — not because they learned about products, but because they gained a clearer understanding of what was possible.
