Yes. The on-site consultation and written quote are free, with no obligation. Walking the actual property is how we scope projects accurately, and how you get a real number instead of a guess.

Written quotes from HL Construction Group are valid for thirty (30) days unless otherwise stated on the quote.

No. Quotes are firm for the scoped work. If a genuinely concealed condition appears, like subsurface rock or an unmarked private utility, we stop, explain it, and present a written change order for your approval before the affected work proceeds. Nothing is billed that you haven't signed off on.

It varies by season and project size, but fast turnaround is one of the reasons clients choose HL Construction Group. We run our own equipment and crews, so we're not waiting on subcontractors or rental yards. Your written quote includes a realistic start window and schedule.

We do. HL Construction Group researches the permit requirements for your specific address and jurisdiction, whether that's the City of Knoxville, Knox County, Farragut, Maryville, Oak Ridge, Alcoa, Lenoir City, or the surrounding counties, and handles filing as part of the project.

Yes. Every project is backed by a written workmanship warranty, and manufactured products like composite decking and pavers carry their manufacturers' warranties, which pass through to you.
