Terms and Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing this Site, requesting an estimate, or entering into a service agreement with us, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use this Site or engage our services.

2. Description of Services

Elite Chula Vista Deck & Fence provides residential and commercial deck building, fence installation, deck repair, pergola installation, patio cover construction, and related outdoor structure services in Chula Vista, CA and surrounding areas.

All services are subject to the terms of a written proposal or contract provided to you prior to any work beginning. If there is a conflict between these Terms and a signed written contract, the signed written contract controls.

3. Estimates and Pricing

Written estimates are based on the scope of work, materials, and site conditions described at the time the estimate is prepared. Estimates are valid for 30 days from the date of issuance unless otherwise noted in writing.

Estimates are not guaranteed final prices. The final price may change if the scope of work changes at your request, unforeseen site conditions are discovered during the project, material costs change significantly before work begins, or additional permits or inspections are required.

Any changes to the agreed scope of work must be authorized by you in writing before additional work is performed. We will notify you of any cost changes before proceeding.

4. Scheduling and Cancellation

Project start dates are scheduled after a signed contract and any required deposit have been received. Start dates are estimates and may be affected by permit processing times, material availability, weather, or other factors outside our control. We will communicate any changes to your schedule in a timely manner.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please contact us as soon as possible. Cancellations made after a signed contract and deposit are subject to the cancellation terms specified in your written contract. Deposits are generally non-refundable once materials have been ordered or permits have been submitted, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

We reserve the right to suspend or cancel work if payment is not made as agreed or if site conditions make continued work unsafe or impractical.

5. Payment Terms

Payment terms, including deposit amount and payment schedule, are specified in the written contract for each project. In general, projects require a deposit before materials are ordered, with the remaining balance due upon project completion unless otherwise agreed in writing.

We accept payment by check, cash, and any methods specified in your written contract. Final payment is due at the time of project completion and final walkthrough unless other arrangements have been made in writing.

Accounts not paid within the time specified in the contract may be subject to late fees as stated in the contract. We reserve the right to pursue collection of unpaid amounts, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs permitted by applicable law.

6. Permits and Inspections

For projects that require a building permit, we will obtain the permit on your behalf as part of the contracted scope of work, unless otherwise agreed. Permit fees are the responsibility of the homeowner and are either billed separately or included in the written estimate as a line item.

You are responsible for ensuring that your project complies with any homeowners association (HOA) rules and obtaining HOA approval before work begins. We are not responsible for delays or costs resulting from HOA rejections or required redesigns unless we have agreed in writing to manage the HOA submission process on your behalf.

7. Warranty

We warrant that our workmanship will be free from material defects for a period of one year from the date of project completion, unless a different warranty period is specified in your written contract. This workmanship warranty covers defects in the installation and construction performed by us.

Manufacturer warranties for materials and products (such as composite decking, hardware, and railings) are separate from our workmanship warranty and are governed by the respective manufacturers. We will assist you in understanding and accessing applicable manufacturer warranties.

Warranties do not cover damage resulting from misuse, neglect, modification by others, acts of nature, or failure to follow recommended maintenance guidelines.
