Grand Rapids Wheelchair Ramp Builders

I had three service providers to my home to give me quotes on removing my old wooden two-level deck in backyard and build a new deck with accessibility to my home. Ben Bosworth was the only one to provide a design that was one level thus eliminating possible safety issues. His quote was similar to another provider's two-level deck with ramps quote. Ben's price was fair for the amount of work/materials required for the project. I feel I received my money's worth.The deck, ramps, and landing were built with composite material (TREX) and to ADA compliance. The deck is approximately 15x30' with ramps 5x20' and two 5x5' landings. The final result is more that I could have imagined: extremely functional for my young grandson's power wheelchair to access my home and it looks fantastic ("Home Beautiful" magazine quality.) The work crew were prompt and kept the worksite clean even washing deck daily as each phase was completed. Workers were polite and professional.Ben made sure the deck met my needs and was quality-built. TREX representative checked out the final deck project ensuring it met their criteria it did.Thank you, Ben, I love my new deck and so does my grandson, Thomas. He says it is like going to a hotel.

I was looking for someone that could build a deck with a ramp on my condo. Avalon was the first company that was very inviting. Other companies where elusive about giving information on how they would exactly go about making the design stretch happen. I really like that they stand behind their products. They didn’t charge me until the job was done and they knew I liked it. They really listened to me and worked with me, not just for me. Thank you Avalon!!!

THE MAN THAT DID THE WORK DID A REALLY GOOD JOB. HE HAD NO PROBLEM GOING TO PICK UP CERTAIN SUPPLIES THAT I NEEDED. I THOUGHT THAT HE WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL.

Jon and his crew were communicative and listened to what I wanted to do with the deck. He offered a very competitive price. Completed the project in a few days. I am very pleased with how it has held up over the past year. I will be using the Deck Dude for a ramp project this summer as I am so pleased with how things went summer.

Jonathan is clearly passionate about his craft—that's why I hired him. He walked me through an inspection of his own pointing out technical flaws with the existing build. He gave me a quote right there, and I gave him a downpayment. Contractors like the Deck Dudes are usually in high demand, so it's good to call them in the off-season and try to get on the spring and summer schedules. The small crew worked through the rain and cold to finish the deck in early May. Jon was really responsive, keeping me posted via text messages and phone calls. They did a beautiful job and structurally reinforced the deck as well. I'll enjoy this beautiful and safe deck for years to come.

Ben and his subs did a wonderful job. They were all very professional and took pride in their work. They cleaned up after themselves every day and answered any questions we had. They made the entire remodel project a pleasure for us. The agent from the VA was very impressed with the quality of work when he came for the final inspection. Even the people at our township hall were impressed with how polite and squared away everyone involved in the project were. All the materials that Ben used were of top quality and also made in the USA which was something we appreciated. This was our first big remodel project and we were glad to have the VA help guide is through the process, after talking to some of our relatives and the VA agent we fell lucky our first remodel experience went this well. I know Ben was part of the reason that things went so well.

I contacted Above Roofing at the beginning of April 2016. Robert showed up exactly on time, and was very professional. The estimate process actually began inside the house up in the attic. Robert was checking for ventilation and the condition of the wood decking. Above Roofing was the only contractor to do this (very impressed). Robert then spent a good 45 minutes on the roof going over everything with a fine tooth comb. Please note, that only half of the contractors we had out got on the roof. In my opinion how can a contractor provide a good estimate if they don't do a complete inspection. Needless to say, those contractors were immediately cut. Robert found some flashing issues along with why we had wood rot next to the gutter. The gutter was cut too short when it was installed 18 years ago. Robert gave me an estimate on the spot and spent a good deal of time discussing his company's process for installation. Again I was very impressed and it was evident that this is a company that takes a great deal of pride in their work. This is exactly what I was looking for considering that I'm not on the roof, and honestly would have no idea what I was looking at anyway. I will say that Above Roofing is not the cheapest path to go, however, you get what you pay for. Plus the last thing I wanted was to have a leak...by that time it's way too late. Additionally, Robert told me that the job could take up to 3 days. He was the only contractor to tell me this....the other ones told me one day. Again, what's another 2 days to ensure a quality job. Furthermore, Robert was setting expectations up front which I appreciated. On the day of the job, the crew showed up on time and got right to work. We had some weather in the area, so they only worked for one day (about 40% of the job was complete). However, Above Roofing is methodical and they make sure the house is weather proof before leaving the site. The crew returned on Monday, and had the job done by the end of the day. Very well done plus their clean up process is very thorough. I didn't find one nail in the landscaping, but that wasn't surprising given how careful they were around the plants. The only time I found nails was after the dumpster was removed. However, these were under the dumpster...I wouldn't expect the crew to find those any way. Robert came back out to walk the property with me one last time, and he found a few areas that didn't meet his standards (did I mention his standards are very high). A small crew was out the next day, and they wrapped up quickly. Overall, I am very pleased with Robert and the Above Roofing team. As I mentioned before, they are not the cheapest operation but I'm impressed with the quality. I've recommended them to all my neighbors, and my next door neighbor used them as well.
