When you’re ready to invest in a new deck, you want to get the best quality at the best price. However, what many homeowners don’t realize is that some deck-building companies spend massive amounts of money on advertising—and those costs don’t just disappear. They get passed down to you, the customer. That’s why it’s crucial to get multiple quotes before making a decision.

At RN Construction, we focus on delivering exceptional craftsmanship and value instead of spending excessive amounts on marketing, ensuring you get the most for your money. As top-rated deck builders, we are committed to providing high-quality craftsmanship at competitive prices, specializing in both traditional wood decks andcomposite decks built with industry-leading materials like Trex.

 

Signs That Your Deck Needs Attention

Some companies flood social media, Billboards, TV, radio, and even direct mail with advertisements to stay top-of-mind with potential customers. While this might seem impressive, here’s the reality:

• Advertising is expensive – Big-budget marketing campaigns can cost companies tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
• Those costs get built into project pricing – To maintain profit margins, these companies increase the price of their services, meaning you’re paying for their ads, not just your deck.
• Name recognition doesn’t always mean better quality – Just because a company advertises everywhere doesn’t mean they offer the best craftsmanship, materials, or customer service.

 

The Importance of Getting Multiple Deck Quotes

1. Compare Pricing & Avoid Inflated Costs

Getting at least three quotes from different deck builders allows you to compare pricing side by side. If one company’s price is significantly higher than the others, ask yourself if you’re paying for quality—or just covering their marketing expenses.

2. Ensure You’re Getting the Best Materials

Not all decks are built the same. A company with high advertising expenses may try to cut corners by using lower-quality materials. By getting multiple quotes, you can compare the type of decking, framing, and hardware each contractor offers and make sure you’re getting durable, long-lasting materials.

For those considering composite decks, it’s important to ensure the company you hire has the expertise to install them properly. As composite deck builders and a Platinum Pro Trex Installer, RN Construction specializes in building low-maintenance, long-lasting composite decks that are resistant to weather, fading, and wear.

3. Assess the Company’s Reputation & Experience

A flashy ad campaign doesn’t guarantee great work. When reviewing quotes, research the company’s:

• Customer reviews and testimonials
• Portfolio of completed deck projects
• Industry recognition, certifications, and experience

 

At RN Construction, we take pride in our Platinum Pro Trex Installer status and our two-time Stellar Service Award from Trex—achievements that speak to our expertise and dedication to customer satisfaction. Our reputation as one of Michigan’s top-rated deck builders comes from years of delivering quality results and putting our customers first.

4. Avoid High-Pressure Sales Tactics

Some companies that spend heavily on advertising use high-pressure sales tactics to make up for those costs. They may push you to sign quickly before you’ve had a chance to compare prices. Getting multiple quotes gives you the power to take your time and make an informed decision without feeling pressured.

Why RN Construction Offers the Best Value

At RN Construction, we believe in earning your business through quality work, not flashy marketing. Instead of inflating our prices to cover excessive advertising, we rely on:

• Word-of-mouth referrals from satisfied customers
• A strong reputation built on over 30 years of experience in Michigan
• Competitive pricing without cutting corners on materials or craftsmanship

 

We’re here to help you make the best decision for your home—even if that means choosing another contractor. Our goal is to provide transparent pricing, expert craftsmanship, and decks that stand the test of time
