This company is truly top notch. My husband and I needed to replace an old deck and wanted to be sure to get something beautiful and well built. We researched companies and invited 4 out to bid. I was amazed that 2 of the companies could not demonstrate a clear understanding of what we wanted to do. Sundeck designs understands their business - really well. From the design process and working out details of the bid, through to the final product, these guys are absolute professionals. The owners are extremely knowledgeable and the crew was so easy to work with. They are friendly and approachable, clean up the site every day, and got the deck done quickly. This deck is stunningly beautiful with all quality components and workmanship including 2 colors (one darker around the perimeter and fascia). And, oh my goodness the two colors on the stairs are really striking. The railing is beautiful and the post caps have lights casting a small ray onto the deck edges at night. We couldn't be more pleased with the new deck or the experience along the way. We highly recommend Sundeck Designs!

Once they got started it went extremely well. They made suggestions as things were progressing. The crew was efficient, neat and helpful. Everything was cleaned up every night.

We could not have been happier with our experience with SunDeck. John and Laura were so helpful--from the wonderful ideas they had for our deck to helping us figure out how to make it work within our budget. They had great suggestions that we never would have thought of on our own such as added lighting and benches. Very pleasant and professional people to work with. Our deck is better than we ever expected. I would recommend them to anyone. Quality experience from start to finish. Their crew was also very professional. Depending on the time of year they may be booked out awhile but it's worth the wait. Fair pricing and solid product. They get an A+ from my family.

We had Sundeck along with two other deck contractors provide us with a deck bid. They provided us with the lowest bid of all three, and what's more is that they seemed to have much more experience and expertise in designed and building decks. Once we gave them the job they were very easy to work with and communicative. We felt comfortable that they weren't trying to take advantage of us, which was great! John and Laura were full of ideas but also willing to listen to our own. They were also very knowledgeable about codes and permitting, and able to work with the city on working through these issues. Their work crew was also great. Hope this helps!

"Thank you very much for the great review! Admittedly, we did have a few more hurdles with your job than normal, including going through the Historical Review process, but I have to say that we really are lucky to have some great people working for the Fort Collins Building department. They really did help make the process go smoother. We hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of your deck for many years to come!"

Be forewarned, it's going to take some time to get the work done, but you'll be happy with the results. We had a pergola installed and the whole process from conception to installed to 6+ months of work and planning. It was worth the wait though. I would use them again.
Response from Sundeck Designs
"Thank you for the kind words, we're pleased that you are happy with the final product. There are several misleading items in your review though, including that the final cost included not only the pergola, but also deconstruction of an existing deck, construction of a new large deck, removing a small roof on the house, re-siding a small portion of the house and adding a privacy screen and benches. The length of the process on any particular job is often affected by factors such as how quickly a homeowner responds to our initial bid, the number of design change request made, weather, and building permit. In your case it was almost the "perfect storm" of all these factors, (all of which are out of our hands) which together contributed to the lengthy process."

John and Laura were great to work with. We asked for a few changes as we went through the process and they were very very accommodating and quick to respond. We are very happy with the work they did, it was on time, at the price they quoted. They came back immediately to take care of a few punch list items. Would use them again without any hesitation!

"Thank you for posting the pictures! What a difference this deck has made to the usability of the backyard, compared to the small concrete landing and patio you had before. We trust you will get many years of enjoyment out of it."

Laura and John Bridgham were wonderful in their work to get our decks replaced with quality workmanship and dedication to finish the work in a reasonable amount of time. They stuck to their original estimate, did exactly what they said they word do and expanded on that behavior by doing even more than expected. They are simply wonderful people to work with and if there is another project within their expertise, they will be the first people we will call.
Another important factor is the Sundeck Design crew. All of them were very knowledge and courteous. They did their jobs very well and were well organized. This project was a major task and this company worked very well together with good communications and extreme dedication to make sure it was all done satisfactorily. Our thanks to John, Laura and a wonderful crew for making this project a reality. We love showing off our new decks!

"It really was great to work with you (the crew all agree!). Even though we downsized the final design from what your existing deck(s) were, I think the new spaces are much more usable, and with the long-lasting products you chose to use, you will be enjoying the deck for a long time (instead of spending weekends maintaining it like you were)"

"Thank you for the compliments! I will admit that I'm still a little "old school" when it comes to communicating, and am still trying to be more responsive with e-mails and texting. I've just always felt that there is no substitute for hearing another persons voice on the other end of a phone call- but, again, I'm trying."

John and Laura were fantastic to work with right from the start. They both came out to our house when we requested a bid for a new deck. thye had wonderful ideas and understood what we were trying to explain that we wanted in a deck. they prepared a sketch and cost estimate for us based on the initial meeting and then we discussed from final tweaks to the design to get the exact look we wanted and proceeded forward. John and Laura did exactly what they said they would do and were great to work with. they were responsiv to all of our questions and even wokred with us to make minor changes during construction to add lighting and move a stair location.
John and Laura and their crew was very professional and showed a lot of pride in their work. Their quality of workmanship was incredible and they showed a lot of respect for our homw by keeping the work site cleaned up and well organized so it was safe for our dog and grandkids. My wife and I are extremely please with the final product and the workmanship exemplified by John and Laura and their wonderful crew. We would recommend them highly to anyone who wants a new deck!

"We to were very pleased with how your deck turned out. We went from a small and almost un-usable concrete patio to a very usable composite deck ands railing that will looks great and will for many years. Thanks again for letting us be a part of that transformation!"

Despite having to work around holiday schedules and extreme weather, we did get the deck done. John was good about letting me know when there were delays.The work crews were respectful and unobtrusive while they were on the job. We are very happy with our experience using Sundeck Designs. I recommend them highly.
Response from Sundeck Designs
"Well this certainly wasn't the largest project we've been involved with, but it's made a huge difference nonetheless. Thanks again for being patient with regards to the holidays and weather, and for taking the time to give us this review."

John and Laura were fantastic to work with! The design process was fast and efficient and they were also felxible on changes throughout the design process. Their schedule was full and they were upfront about that recognizing some people aren't willing to wait once they've made the decision to take on a project like this. I was in no huge hurry so we agreed to stay in touch and they would add me to the schedule as soon as they could.
That time arrived during the warm spell we had in Jan/Feb and they were "Johnny on the spot" to get me in the line-up. The crew was conscientious about my yard, the dirt/clean-up and my dogs. Everyone worked well together! John and Laura were great at communicating via email (which was my preference) and called when quick decisions were needed. They kept me informed of the crew's schedule and intended accomplishments each week. They made this process very easy on me!!!!
Bottom line.....I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the deck and am using it even though the weather has turned chilly again. I can't wait for summer.

"Thank you very much for the complimentary review! It was great working with you, and as far as I'm concerned the dogs were a bonus. We're very proud of the deck and pergola, and I know you are going to get many years of enjoyment out of it. I'm looking forward to driving by and seeing you and friends having a good time!

Excellent, turned out just like I pictured.
John & Laura were great and their crew was very professional. I know they get extremely busy during the summer, but they are worth the wait. Quality was excellent and they do what they say they will do. I would recommend them to everyone!!

"It really means a lot to us that you took the time to leave this review for us. Your project wasn't huge, but we really think it adds a "shine" to your house, and we know you are going to enjoy being outdoors more now that you have some shade to help cool things down. From our perspective, we couldn't have asked for a better client- Thanks again for letting us work with you. John Bridgham - Sundeck Designs LLC."

Crew was easy to work with and paid great attention to detail. I would definitely hire them again but because of the great work they did, I probably won't need to. Would recommend them to anyone that needs deck work -- new or repair.

I had John and Laura come and give me a bid for replacing my deck. A beam was rotting and the wood deck was reaching end of life. The produced a single-level deck with stairs in a different location for a price that was not cheap but seemed OK. They were also dealing with a paint job that needed to finish and a deadline for an event for which I hoped to have the deck. They produced drawings and information that got me HOA approval, and they built the deck in time for my event with some weather uncerrtainty and with some parts unavailability. The deck is GORGEOUS and built well. The workers, including the owners at times, were great to have around.

John and his crew did an excellent job! The work was done according to plan and finished before the agreed upon deadline. Additionally, the crew remained flexible to my design input (changes) which made the entire process run smoothly.
I will use Sundeck Designs again for the pergola addition and highly recommend their work.

It went very well. They were very professional. We are located in the foothills, some distance from town, and were very grateful that they brought their own restroom facilities (a camper) so that they were not coming in and out of the house all day. They worked pretty close to the schedule they set. It was a little delayed by all the flooding, but that was understandable. I felt very comfortable with their competence. They uncovered some construction issues that none of us had anticipated, and they handled them very well. They never failed to patiently answer my questions, which may have seemed a bit silly to them. We were very happy with the finished product. They worked hard to minimize the effect on our daily activities. They cleaned up after themselves as well or better than any other construction crew we have had out here.
One thing that made a positive impression on me was that when they (the couple works as a team) came to make the estimate, they were very up-to-date by having an I-pad with sample pictures of their work. They clearly take pride in their work (deservedly so) and have offered to be available for any issues that might come up in the future (none have at this point).

This project actually started almost two years ago. There were challenges and delays in the design phase due to space limitations for a staircase (which is why we ended up with a spiral), utility easements and the city permitting process. John and Laura persevered throughout, offering creative solutions to problems, altering design drawings time and again, and even meeting with utility representatives on our behalf.
When work could finally begin, it went smoothly and quickly. They were able to do everything from the outside with ladders, so our tenant was undisturbed. John contacted us with regular updates during the construction process.
Our communication with Sundeck Designs was definitely a two-way street, which helped make the project a success. For instance, we wanted to cut most of a deck side wall back to increase the view from the deck. John expressed concern that cutting too much might not look very good, but he listened to us and we came up with an approach that looks just fine.
The decks and the staircase look awesome. Sundeck Designs is a good company owned by good people. I highly recommend them.

We looked around for a while for deck designers and bid it out to a few providers. We selected Sundeck, and started the project last summer. They were very busy at the time, so the beginning stages of the job were a little slow. However, once they got going, they were really rolling! They did a beautiful job, and my wife and I will surely enjoy this phenomenal deck for decades to come. I would recommend this builder to anyone.

When we bought our house, we knew the deck was in poor shape. I cut it down and found rotten wood, code violations, and poor craftsmanship. I estimated how much it would cost to do the rebuild job myself and then got 3 quotes. Sundeck quoted a reasonable price and had an intelligent answer for every question I asked them. They also made a diagram of the new deck which was very helpful. I checked their work periodically and am very impressed with what they built.

We are extremely pleased with the work John and Laura did with our deck. We have hardwood flooring in the office, and they built our office deck. The wood that we used for the deck is rosewood. The deck that they built is solid and it looks like a natural extension of our indoor hardwood. The staining was superb, and the screws and the wood line-up beautifully.
Given how busy they were, we had to do this over a weekend. In all our interactions with John, he was prompt, courteous, and very professional. He went over choices and helped us make an informed decision. Finally, both John and Laura have a background in the sciences, and there is a meticulousness to their work that we really appreciated

John and Laura did an amazing job. We had a small deck that was falling of our house. We worked with them on a new larger deck with a pergola. They built a beautiful deck for us. It's about 20 x 30 including the stairs. We can't say enough about the job they did, we only wish we had contacted them sooner. They even worked with us when we realized the plan we had was just a little too small. I would recommend them and hire them again in a second.
Response from Sundeck Designs
"Thanks for the great review! We both think it turned out to be one of the nicest decks we've done, and we've featured it on our website. It was a pleasure to work with you."

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Sundeck Designs. John, Laura, and their team were extremely professional as well as friendly and warm. The bid amount was exactly what we paid and they even finished the job a day early. I highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to contact them if needed in the future.
