When it comes to building outdoor spaces like terraces, patios, porches, or canopies, a well-defined process makes all the difference. At Elevate Tent Design, we don’t just install structures — we guide you through every stage with clarity, professionalism, and expert craftsmanship.
Whether you’re building a rooftop terrace in Manhattan or a paver patio in Westchester, here’s exactly what you can expect when working with us.
📝 1. Free Consultation & Site Visit
Every project starts with a conversation. We’ll schedule a free consultation — either virtually or on-site — to understand your needs, measure your space, and discuss possible designs, materials, and budget.
You’ll get:
Honest feedback about feasibility
Material suggestions
Ideas tailored to your home or business
Why it matters: This helps prevent costly surprises and sets the foundation for a smooth project.
✏️ 2. Design & Proposal
Based on your goals and space, our team creates a custom design plan. This can include:
Sketches or 3D renderings
Material samples and visual references
A clear, itemized quote for labor and materials
Timeline and installation schedule
Your benefit: You’ll know exactly what you’re getting — no vague pricing or last-minute changes.
🧱 3. Material Selection & Ordering
We’ll help you choose high-performance materials that match your vision, local climate, and building codes. Whether it’s pavers, railings, PVC membranes, or structural components — we source only trusted, durable products.
We handle:
Ordering
Delivery coordination
Quality control of every component before install
🛠️ 4. Professional Installation
This is where we shine. Our installation crews are trained, licensed, and experienced in NYC-specific conditions — from sloped backyards to rooftop builds with strict code requirements.
We take care of:
Site prep and leveling
Fastening and anchoring
Waterproofing, drainage, and sealing
Safety compliance for stairs, railings, and canopies
Why Elevate? We use modern fastening systems, install efficiently, and leave your site clean and ready to enjoy.
🔍 5. Final Walkthrough & Satisfaction Check
Once installation is complete, we’ll walk the site with you to ensure every detail is to your liking. We’ll answer questions, explain maintenance tips, and make any final touch-ups needed.
Included:
Full inspection checklist
Care instructions
Warranty details for materials and labor
🏡 6. Ongoing Support & Repairs (If Needed)
We stand behind our work. If you ever need an adjustment, repair, or seasonal prep — we’re just a call away. Many clients come back to us years later for new additions or upgrades.
