PROJECT PLANNING · CITY DECKS NEW YORK
Good Projects Start With a Conversation
Tell us about your space, ask questions and take the next step with a clearer plan.
You do not need a finished design to contact us. You may have an empty rooftop, a deck that needs replacing, or one feature you would like to improve. Start by telling us what you have and what you would like to change.
At City Decks New York, the first conversation helps us understand the project and decide what information we need next. Photos, a few measurements and a clear description of your goals can make that conversation much more useful.
01 / START WITH YOUR SPACE
Tell us what you want the space to do
Is this a place to dine, a quiet spot to sit, or a shared outdoor area that needs a better layout? Let us know what works now, what does not, and which changes matter most to you. If you are choosing between materials or unsure whether to repair or replace, we can discuss those questions too.
For a smaller, clearly defined project, photographs and measurements may help us discuss options before arranging a visit. More involved work may need an on-site consultation and additional planning.
02 / HELP US PREPARE
A few details make a difference
The location and type of space
Share the project address or neighborhood and whether it is a rooftop, terrace, balcony, patio or yard. Tell us whether it is private or shared.
Photos and approximate dimensions
Include an overall view, access points and close-ups of anything you want to change. Rough measurements help us understand the scale; final dimensions may need field verification.
Your ideas and priorities
Tell us about the materials, seating, privacy or other features you are considering. Reference images are helpful, even if you have not settled on a design.
Access and building requirements
Mention stairs, elevators, delivery restrictions and working hours. Let us know if a building manager, architect or other professional is already involved.
03 / PLAN THE NEXT STEP
Make the consultation useful
A site visit gives us an opportunity to see the space, review your goals and discuss the work in more detail. If you have drawings, material preferences or building requirements, have them available so we can consider them together.
A consultation is not a substitute for engineering, permit review or opening up concealed construction. If the project calls for additional assessment or professional coordination, that scope should be discussed separately.
For an existing deck, balcony or fence, describe the condition and the concerns you want us to look at. We can help identify the appropriate consultation or assessment starting point.
KEEP THE CONVERSATION CLEAR
Questions are part of the process
Ask about the proposed scope, material options and what is included before making a decision. If your priorities change, let us know so the next version of the plan or estimate reflects them.
Already working with us? Reply to your project email thread with the question or update. Keeping the details together helps us refer back to the same drawings, selections and agreed scope.
