Deome 2 Builders Inc

After several days negotiating design, price, and unknowns, we reached a contract price. Because the deck we were replacing was very old and rickety, there was some damage to the siding that needed to be repaired. Deome Bros. came through so well. They are professionals, start work early each day, work hard, do excellent work, take care of details. These folks are very good at what they do. I would love to give them a higher grade on the cost - but it just was so many $$. For certain, they gave us a fair deal and included some necessary repair work - so this really isn't a complaint. We also chose to use a quality product. In the end, the deck is gorgeous, the experience was good, and Deome Bros. is an excellent company with quality people.

The estimator, Tony, did an excellent job of describing all our options and providing samples of various decking materials. The job bid was detailed and easily understandable. The company owner, Fred, and his crew showed up exactly as scheduled. They worked quickly and efficiently, removing the old deck and installing the new deck in one day, returning the next day to install the railings. At my request they left usable lumber from the old deck neatly stacked in my yard. All work materials were promptly cleaned up and removed. Fred scheduled an inspection with me and gave full maintenance and care recommendations. During the inspection, we found that the ends of cumaru boards that butted against a center accent board had not been waxed; Fred apologized for the oversight and promptly scheduled a workman to complete the work. We were particularly impressed with the way they installed the decking to cleanly meet our sidewalk and adjacent grass area, something the old deck did not do. A great job!

Smoothly. would recommend to everyone, if you can afford it. Am having them back to make a few fixes to the visible bottom and to finish around my Dad's old brickwork steps. They are supergood and trustworthy. Highly recommend.

The Deome crew arrived the first day of the job, on time, and had the entire deck almost completely framed the first day. Came back the next day and installed the Trex planks. Third day, they came and finalized the finishing work and trim. They were done by about 2pm the third day (and this was for a 16"x26" deck). They cleaned up every speck of material and even insured all the gates were closed behind them. I love my deck so much I can't speak. The kids are out there every night until it's so dark they *have* to come inside they love it so much. Hiring Deome to install our new deck is one of the best decisions we've ever made. Love, love, love this company!

went very well. good initial evaluation by tony the sales guy, followed by a reasonable estimate, a slight delay to set a date since they were very busy, but once a date was established, they showed up early, worked hard and finished in one day with minor touch ups the second day. very professional crew. cleaned up completely. we are very happy.

Harley Deome was my main point of contact during this effort as he was during our last go-round with Deome Builders (when we had a second-story deck rebuilt). I realized from the get-go that this was a relatively small job to get bids on, and Harley and I kept going back and forth about it - what the issue was, how to fix it, when to do it - intermittently from about June 2009 to December 2009. Harley and the other contractors that looked at the issue agreed that the installation of the cover was the problem; the H-shaped support that held the cover on the end that wasn't attached to the roof was attached to the floor of the deck when it should have been constructed as a standalone structure, and the L brackets that connected the ledger on the roof side of the cover to the roof and to the cover itself were far too few in count. Harley encouraged me to pursue this with the company that installed the roof since it was within their 10-year window of liability for it, but as I mentioned above that company was only interested in deflecting blame. Finally after months of not really focusing on this too much I got more serious about it and tried to lock in a bid in the fall so I could get the work done before we got into the rainy season. Harley agreed that his company could do the work, and though I didn't tell him at the time the other companies we had look at it didn't want to bid it because they were scared of working with the extra-thick composite roofing material we had on the house. Since our job was kind of small and the cover didn't seem in any danger of falling down it took a while to work it into Deome's schedule; that wasn't a problem for me because I knew that Harley was aware that he needed a week or so of no rain to get the work done, so we just waited for the right time. Once we hit a good weather window where Harley's schedule was free the work went fast and smooth. The crew showed up and took the cover apart and also took the H-shaped support and railings off the deck. Harley himself dug holes under our deck - taking great care to preserve the plants we had planted around the outside skirt of the deck since the deck itself is about 4 feet off the ground - in which he poured concrete footings. They cut precise holes through the deck and ran vertical beams down through the holes to the footings to replace the vertical parts of our H-shaped support. When the footings had dried with the beams in them the railings went back up with some new wood to ensure a fit with the new H-shaped support. They replaced our ledger board attached to the roof and put a plethora of new L brackets in to support it. Then they carefully reassembled the roof cover, which was in four sections, and attached it to the ledger and the new H-shaped support. I should mention that the H-shaped support really has a cross-beam at the top too and they preserved these cross-beams from the original setup; they didn't try to upsell us on new wood here that we didn't really need. Harley warned us that sometimes pulling these types of roof covers apart and putting them back together again can produce leaks between the sections since the covers are not made to come apart once they're up, but we've had some doozy rainstorms since then with no problems. Harley also did all of this footing work under the deck without destroying any of our plants around the deck, which I really think is astounding - I never would have believed it could be done. His crew made only one concession to the difficulty of this job, which was attaching the L-brackets to the roof on top of the shingles rather than working them into the shingles; Harley asked if this was OK before proceeding this way, and I was so overjoyed that they did the other work so well that I told him that was fine and that my main criterion was to have no leaks when he was done. His crew certainly did that, and the brackets look fine even though they're on top of the shingles. All in all it took them 4 part-days to do this job, which I think had some challenging aspects to it, and they left a very clean worksite when they were done. I am very pleased with the result. They also replace some dry-rotted trim boards around a sliding glass door for us and some dry-rotted wood on the second-story deck supports for us. Besides leaving a little to be desired in caulking around these boards the work was done well.

The experience with Deome Builders was the best one could imagine! We contacted Fred Deome after viewing Angie's List and Deome's high rating. Fred Deome met with us shortly, suggesting various designs and we received a proposal very quickly. The Deome Builders' team was excellent in that they were punctual, neat, professional and very accomplished in construction. The team managed to construct our deck without trampling on our numerous plantings. Fred would meet with them each morning for the daily work planning. And communication between Fred and us was ongoing and always promptly addressed. We love our gorgeous deck and have received numerous complements!

Awesome. Very professional, friendly, punctual, and honest. Price was fair compared with other bids. Very honest to me about time lines, what could and could not be done. Arrived on time or called if running late. Deck looks great. Started on time, finished on time. Solid work.

It was made of treks. They are Trek certified installers. Harley Deome is the owner of the company. It was difficult to get the materials because of trek failures, but he got the materials the day he was here. He came with a crew of 8 people. They did the work in 6 hours which I couldn't do for months. They could finish what I could never finish and it was the best $3500 I have ever spent. They cleaned-up after their work and hauled it up to the dumps and didn't charge me anything extra for it. They installed all the new material. It was difficult to do the job as there was a false base under the deck and you have to literally lie on your back. I had fasteners to help me work under the deck and it took me months to do it. They lay on the ground under the deck and did the work. His philosophy was to get more number of people rather than have two people to work throughout the week. They came in at 7.00 in the morning and got off by 2.00 in the afternoon. One thing I like about them is that they correspond through email. When we made the arrangements to get it done, they had it done. He actually saved me a lot of headaches as I had attempted to work through treks. When I tried to get the materials delivered, the secretary never returned the calls and I couldn't get it delivered. Harley knew the people at the company and got the materials delivered.

Harley met with me and came up with the overall design. The workers are friendly and professional. They showed up when they said they would. They did what they said they were going to do. They cleaned up every day. The work was performed promptly and I think it's about the best looking deck I've ever seen! I'm very satisfied.

My job hit during a time of chaos for these guys as Harley (who runs the residential side of the business) was doing both his job and his brother's (on the corporate side) because Fred was out for a while. When I accepted the bid, Harley told me he'd call at the start of the week when the job would be scheduled; he did call me a day before the crew was going to show up. They were there at 7am as promised; when I came home that night all the dry rot was replaced and the new decking in place, but since no one was there, I didn't know if it was all done or not. Harley called me the next day to ask what I thought of the work. It needed minor changes; a support board under the sliding door threshold to the deck was now too short and the fascia now protruded visibly because the new Trex boards were thinner than the old wood ones. But those issues were taken care of, along with replacing the fascia (and even painting the inside of the fascia) in short order a couple of days later.

Deome's work was awesome. They were friendly and professional and take pride in their work. They cleaned up after even hauling the old wood away and they even hosed down the patio after they were done.

My experience was surprisingly dissatisfying. I was very impressed with the prior member reports and the company's website. I called and spoke for about 20 minutes with Harley 2-3 months ago; he promised he would call me back in 1 week. After not hearing anything for 2 weeks, I called again and spoke with Harley's brother who apologized profusely and he explained that my contact info was lost; understanding that mistakes happen, I accepted the apology and I expressed my continued interest and received an appointment to meet with them. They came to my house at the appointment time and told them they would get back in contact with me in 1 week. It has now been 3.5 weeks and no contact in any form. This was a major disappointment given the otherwise positive buzz and reviews from others.

It was great!

The team finished a previous job early and dropped by in hopes that I was home to complete my project. Luckily I was and they completed the entire job within an hour. The team was professional, friendly and did a wonderful job. They even applied a decorative cut to the ends of the wood to match the other side of our trellis. They also offered to paint the ends of the cut wood. Once the job was completed they ensured that the area was completely cleaned of any debris. Although my job was small, and this company is busy with many large projects, I would definitely wait for them to work on my project over having any other company do the job. I have full confidence in their workmanship and recommend them to anyone. I was extremely pleased and will certainly contact them if I ever need a fence redone which could be in my near future.

The detailed estimate included variations of the deck plan. We met the rep to choose the Trek color we desired. The deck was started the next week with workers showing up at the time promised. They were quick and efficient in putting in the piers. The second day, they arrived on time and laid the floor of the deck. They returned the third morning (on time again) and completed the benches, stairs and trim around the bottom of the deck. They were efficient and cleaned up the area daily and hauled away any debris. The workers were polite and worked carefully around the plants in the deck area.

They bid the project the same day it was requested and started one month afterward. The crew of four was always prompt, courteous, and unobtrusive; completing the project in two weeks. They showed up every day at 7:00 am and left before 5:00 pm; cleaning the site each day. Every morning, first thing, one of the owners (two brothers) would get our input. Minor changes were done, one mistake the size of a decorative lathe was promptly corrected without hassle or added cost. The owners were very responsive throughout the process, and would get back to us in less than 24 hours, often within several hours of email or phone message. Four payments were made from start to finish. They had excellent craftsmanship. Being a homeowner for 30 years, I ve worked with a lot of contractors; they were by far the best. We had three prior bids; all were less timely and more expensive. This is the best contractor experience we ve had from start to finish! No hesitation about recommending this company!

I would be happy to share my total satisfaction with the job that Deome Builders did for me just one month ago. They were always prompt, on-time, and on-budget. In addition, they made helpful suggestions and changes that enhanced the overall appearance and longevity of my new decks. After calling many deck construction companies, Deome Builders is ''head and shoulders'' above the rest! Use some other company at your own risk -- but if you want a job you're absolutely thrilled with -- call Harley at Deome Builders. They are also recommended highly by Berco Lumber, one of Sacramento's best suppliers of decking materials.
