Is Mantel a deck builder?

No. Mantel matches homeowners with independent licensed deck builders. They quote and build; we vet them before you're introduced.

What does this cost me?

Nothing. Homeowners never pay Mantel — the professionals pay us for introductions.

Do decks need permits?

Usually, yes — most cities require permits for new decks and structural changes, and unpermitted decks surface as problems at inspection and resale. A builder who suggests skipping the permit is disqualifying themselves.

Do I have to hire one of the builders?

No. Compare the quotes and walk away if nobody earns it. The numbers are yours to keep either way.
