What to have ready for a deck quote
You can call without any of this. A few facts make the first conversation shorter.
| Detail | What to say |
|---|---|
| New or repair | A new deck, a replacement, or work on a deck you have. See deck builders in Wilmington for new builds and deck repair for soft boards, loose rails or shifting stairs. |
| Size and height | A rough footprint, how high the door sits above the ground, and whether the deck attaches to the house. |
| Material | Pressure-treated wood, cedar, composite or something else, if you lean one way. |
| Water | Whether the lot is on the ocean, the sound or a river. New Hanover County says Wilmington, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Wrightsville Beach each run their own floodplain rules, so a lot near water can involve a different office (New Hanover County Floodplain Management, read October 30, 2026). |
| Access | A narrow gate, a slope, a pool, a shed or an air-conditioning unit near the work area. |
| Neighborhood rules | Whether a homeowners' association covers your lot. |
| Timing | The date by which you hope the deck is done. |
For a repair, take photographs of the posts, the spot where the deck meets the house and any soft or split wood. A phone call cannot carry pictures, so keep them to show the company on its visit.
Who checks whether the job needs a permit?
Inside the City of Wilmington, New Hanover County's Department of Permits and Inspections issues building permits through its COAST online portal (City of Wilmington, Building Permits, read October 30, 2026). The county pages we read do not say whether a deck needs a permit, so ask the county, and ask the company who files. In a beach town or another town, ask which office applies.
Questions about getting a quote
Does a call to Wilmington Deck Builders Pros add a charge to my deck job?
No. The call costs you nothing, and the company may pay Wilmington Deck Builders Pros for the referral. You and the company agree what the work costs. Ask whether the quote includes the permit.
What should I say in my voicemail?
Your call reaches a voicemail box. Give your name, number and town, then the job in a sentence or two, such as "a 12 by 16 deck off the back door in Leland". A person calls you back within one business day and connects you with a local deck company.
How soon will someone call back about my deck?
Within one business day of your message. Say your town in the message so the callback can pass it on.
What should I know before I call?
Whether the job is new or a repair, a rough size and height, the material you like, how a truck gets into the yard, and your timing.
Does a deck need a permit in Wilmington?
We could not find a county rule that names decks. The county says most construction projects need a building permit and lists structural work among them. Ask the county, and write down the answer, the date and the person.
