We are not going to give you a firm number of days here, because it would not be honest — the real answer depends on your project. What we can do is walk through the factors that actually determine it, so the timeline we eventually give you in writing makes sense.

What actually determines your timeline

  • Size and complexity. A straightforward privacy fence moves faster than a multi-level deck with custom railings and stairs.
  • Material. Some materials are readily available; others — particularly specialty or special-order composite colors — can have longer lead times from the manufacturer.
  • Permitting. If your project needs a permit, review and inspection scheduling is set by your local building department, not by us. See our permit guide for more on that.
  • Season and weather. Clark County gets a genuinely wet fall and winter. Ground conditions and weather windows affect both scheduling and how long groundwork and concrete take to cure.
  • Site access. A backyard with easy equipment and material access moves faster than a tight side-yard job that has to be hand-carried in.

A realistic way to think about the phases

Most projects move through the same general phases: an on-site walk and written estimate, then — if a permit applies — the permitting and approval step, then material ordering, then the build itself, then a final walkthrough. The build phase is usually the most predictable part; the estimate and permitting phases are the ones most likely to vary project to project.

What can extend it

Beyond weather and permitting, the most common reason a timeline shifts is something found once work starts that was not visible during the estimate — rot behind a ledger board, an undersized footing, and similar. When that happens, we stop and put the additional work in front of you as a written Change Order before we proceed, rather than quietly running over on time and price.

We will give you a specific, honest timeline once we have walked your property and finalized the scope in writing — not a generic estimate pulled from a website.
