Getting Started

At Classic Design Group, our focus is on design. No matter which product or material you may choose, the design is imperative to how the project will function for you and your family. Our expertly trained sales staff specializes in providing a project that fits your lifestyle. We take the time to ask the questions needed to aid you in designing the project of you dreams. Please contact us for a free consultation (contact us) and you will see why for the last 20 years we are Maryland's premier Deck and Patio contractor and "Our Reputation is Building"

Steps

Step 3

Step 1

Your First Step is to arrange to meet with one of our design consultants (contact us).

On your first appointment we will photograph the area to be considered and discuss with you, in detail, how you envision the space will be used. While you view our extensive portfolio, we will ask you to consider questions such as:

• Where your grill will be placed?

• How many people do you entertain?

• How your furniture will be placed?

• Will you want screened in space now or in the future?

• Will there be other future expansions?

Step 2

Our trained design staff will then translate this information into a design that fits your lifestyle and budget. We like to design an overall project that may be done in phases or all at once. It is important to us that your project flows to create a space that you and your family will be proud of for years to come.

Once we have decided on the design, our educated staff will talk to you about the many materials available for the construction of your project. At Classic Design Group, we believe that it is our job to sift through the numerous products available on today's market and provide you with guidance in choosing the products which are right for you. We encourage you to not only touch the samples we provide, but actually visit the locations where these products have been used.

Step 3

Once you have decided to sign a contract, your project will begin as detailed below:

Site Location Survey: This will be needed to pull permits and homeowner association (HOA) approvals.

Technical Drawings: Our staff will begin working on any technical drawings (CAD) necessary for the installation of you project.

Submitting to your Home Owners Association (HOA): If your community has an HOA, you should have received an application for alterations on the property. Classic Design Group will take care of this process. We may ask you to get the signatures of your neighbors (if necessary), but all other requirements will be handled by our staff.

Permit Submission: Our staff will submit the necessary documents to receive a permit for your project. Some county fees may be required.

Material Purchasing: While these processes are occurring, our staff will be making detailed lists of your project needs for ordering and scheduling delivery of your material.

Project Scheduling: Your Sales representative should provide you with a relative idea of when your project will start. This can be affected by many factors. In most cases, your project will begin ahead of schedule.

Construction Process: Once your project begins, work will continue through completion. Scheduling of sub-contractors, such as electricians, need to be coordinated promptly to avoid any delays in production. Your Design representative will play a large part in assisting you with any questions you may have.

Final Walk-Through: Once the project has been completed and the site cleaned of debris, a walk- through may be scheduled to aid in the completion of any outstanding items. At this time, a representative will answer any questions you may have.

Party Time:Now it's time to have a barbeque and enjoy your new project. Our staff takes great pride in making the project as enjoyable as possible.
