A few useful details.
How were quantities calculated?
Ask which measured area is being used, how the waste allowance was selected and whether starter, ridge caps and accessories are included separately. Confirm material coverage and purchase-unit rounding.
What documentation will I receive?
Ask about the work schedule, payment milestones, applicable permits, insurance documentation and the written warranty terms. Verify any project-specific requirements with the relevant authority or qualified professional.
What would change the price?
Discuss decking repairs, access restrictions, hidden conditions and change-order approval before work begins. Keep each quote and its scope together for comparison.
