Good questions.
Clear next steps.

HPC designs and builds patio covers, pavilions, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, paver and travertine patios, custom stone overlays, new pools, pool remodels, fireplaces and fire features.

HPC also considers selected interior renovations. Describe the room, goals and scope when you contact us, and bring existing floor plans if available. We will confirm whether the project is a good fit.

We focus on new installations and defined remodel projects. We do not take on standalone outdoor living or hardscape repairs, routine maintenance or painting-only work. The carpentry and finishing examples in our portfolio show completed project work, rather than a separate maintenance service.

No. HPC does not offer fiberglass pools or standalone spa and hot tub installation. An integrated spa is included in our starting new pool-and-spa scope.

We confirm coverage and project requirements by your property address.

We schedule 60–90 minutes. Some meetings use the full time and others wrap up sooner, depending on the scope, questions and complexity. We use the time to understand your goals, review the property and define useful next steps.

Bring inspiration photos or designs, relevant measurements and notes, existing floor plans for interior projects if available, and a property survey for outdoor projects. You do not need every material selected; a clear idea of how you want to use the space is a helpful starting point.

All decision-makers should be present. Having everyone involved in final decisions at the meeting helps us move efficiently, avoid rework and provide accurate direction the first time.

Tell us what is available when we discuss your project. A survey is important for outdoor planning, and the information required depends on the scope. We will identify what needs to be obtained before design or approvals can move forward.

Yes. Tell us about the complete vision, including any features you may add later. Coordinating the structure, kitchen, patio surface, utilities and pool setting early can avoid decisions that make later work harder.

Clarity about the project direction, a better understanding of the scope and defined next steps. Detailed pricing, drawings and the work needed to prepare for construction depend on the project and the agreed process.

Patio covers start at $25,000; custom pergolas typically start at $15,000; outdoor kitchens at $15,000 excluding appliances; smaller paver projects around $5,000, generous paver patios around $15,000 and travertine at $15,000; pool remodels at $20,000; custom stone overlays over suitable existing concrete at $3,500. Custom pool and spa construction starts at $80,000, with pebble finish, travertine coping, waterline tile, variable-speed pumps, automation, color LED lighting, a robotic cleaner and pool school. Pool decking is priced separately, with options ranging from concrete to pavers and travertine. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the layout and materials that fit your backyard and budget. These are planning starting points, not a quote for your property.

Size, materials, structure, utilities, existing conditions, access, required preparation and approvals all affect the scope. A defined design and property review allow us to prepare a proposal that makes the included work clear.

No. The $15,000 outdoor kitchen starting investment excludes appliances. Appliance selections and their installation requirements are reviewed as part of the full project scope.

HPC’s standard schedule is 50% deposit, 25% progress and 25% completion. Your signed agreement controls the amounts, milestones and any project-specific terms.

HPC links to Acorn Finance and Lyon Financial. Compare each provider’s current terms, eligibility and approval requirements directly. No particular interest rate, monthly payment or approval is promised by the website.

Pavers are individual units installed as a new surface assembly. A stone overlay is a finish applied over suitable existing concrete. They have different preparation, installation and condition requirements. Our galleries label these materials separately so you can compare the right examples.

Travertine is natural stone, with variation in color and texture. Concrete pavers are manufactured units available in different shapes, finishes and patterns. The appropriate choice depends on the design, setting, installation requirements and maintenance preferences.

No. The existing slab, surface condition, movement, elevations and drainage need to be reviewed first. An overlay does not remove the need to address an unsuitable base. We discuss preparation and whether another approach is more appropriate before defining the scope.

Yes. We consider the surfaces together so color, texture, borders and transitions make sense across the space. Material samples and the actual site conditions guide selections.

Yes. Existing drainage conditions, proposed slopes, collection points, door elevations and transitions need to be part of the planning conversation. Any included drainage work should be identified in the proposal.

Absolutely. Save the photograph or note the project title, then tell us which elements you like. Photos help establish a direction; your property, materials and final scope determine the design.

Requirements depend on the address, community, proposed structure and jurisdiction. We review the current requirements for the specific property before setting the construction schedule. An approval process for one project should not be assumed to apply to another.

Roof proportions, posts, ceiling finishes, masonry and other details can be planned around the existing architecture. We review the intended connection and the appropriate structure during design.

An open pergola does not provide continuous rain protection. A suitable protective roof system can be considered where appropriate. We discuss daylight, shade and weather protection before selecting the system.

Discuss owner-supplied appliances during planning. Exact models, specifications, supports, cutouts, ventilation and utility needs must be confirmed before the surrounding construction and countertops are finalized.

Yes. Future enclosure plans can affect the structure, openings, foundations, utilities and comfort requirements. Share those ideas early rather than assuming a patio built for an open layout will accommodate every later system.

A start date depends on the agreed scope, design preparation, required approvals, material availability and scheduling. We confirm those steps for the actual project rather than promising a universal start window.

The schedule varies with the work included, access, sequencing, weather and inspections or other required steps. The proposal and planning discussions establish the expected sequence and communication for your project.

Richard remains personally involved in planning and project oversight. A live client project portal keeps project information and updates accessible throughout the build.

Discuss a requested change before the affected work proceeds. Any effect on materials, scope, price or schedule should be reviewed and documented through the project’s agreed change process.

No. The form helps prepare your project details. Complete the live Calendly scheduling process and its confirmation to book an available appointment, or arrange it directly with HPC. You can save the brief or open an email draft to send the details; those actions do not automatically confirm an appointment.
