Frequently Asked Questions

My project or space is not very big, can you still help me?

Outside Living Concepts prides itself on quality work and outstanding customer service. We are unfortunately not able to take on smaller jobs based on the way our company is structured. Any jobs we contract must be at least $15,000 in scope, or we are unable to bid on your project.

Once we sign a contract, how long will it take before construction begins?

Normally once a contract is signed, it typically takes Up to 10-12 weeks to get you in the construction schedule. During this time, we will gather any HOA approval that may be needed and begin working on any permits that may be required. We will also be selecting and identifying materials like the color of granite, the paint we are using for your barbecue, and the stone veneer on your fireplace… basically dialing in all of the details so we can successfully build your project once we start construction.

What forms of payment do you accept and do you offer financing?

We accept checks payable to the company, cash, MasterCard, Visa, & Discover, and American Express. All card transactions are subject to an additional 4% transaction fee. If you are looking for other forms of financing, we have connections with outside providers that can assist. Please contact us for more details.

How long will it take to complete my project?

Project can take a few weeks or a few months or more based on the size of the job and the scope of work. If there are other contractors working on the property, this may add to the time frame should we need to pull off and re-start because of other work you have going on. We are very efficient with how our projects go through construction and we will make this process as least stressful for all concerned as possible. Our thousands of customers over the years can attest to our work ethic and quality of construction. Please read our Google reviews!
