Creative Decks

We were very happy with them. I think they were fair on the price. They certainly weren't real cheap but I think it was a fair price for the work. I thought it was fair. They are very easy to work with. There was actually just one guy and he was easy to work with. I would recommend him.

We ABSOLUTELY recommend Creative Decks. While rebuilding our deck, we were abandoned mid-job by a non-Angie's List firm (shame on us), and were left with the just posts and joists exposed 12 feet in the air; no decking, no stairs, no railings. Carl corrected some mistakes that had been made, added needed support under the deck and worked with us to select the appropriate materials in a lovely color combination. Because of the detail he puts into his work, he built a solid deck that we're proud of. He worked all day, every day, through the hottest days of July and finished the job on time and per the quote. Cleanup was thorough. He even disposed of the materials left by the previous firm. We would contract with him again in the future, but this deck is going to last a LONG time!

Carl did a fantastic job from start to finish! When he came out to discuss the project with us, he listened carefully to what we wanted and we talked through 4 or 5 different railings before he suggested an special railing that would preserve the view from inside our home down to the brook. He worked alone, started on time, was always open and friendly, and clear about what he was doing and why. He has clearly thought about the impressions he leaves and is earnest about the value he provides. During the demolition of the gable roofed screen porch, he was clean, clean, clean. All of the nails came out and were collected. Shingles and lumber were stacked in his trailer. In 2 days it was all gone and the post holes for the deck were dug and waiting for the inspector. He built up strongly with 6x6 posts notched for the 2 2X12s for the support beam. The details were all covered with corner joints mitered and the post edges routed with OD radii. The aluminum frame glass panel railing was executed beautifully right down to the stairs coming down to the edge of the chimney and the opening of the existing railing to accommodate them. The vinyl siding and the sliding door installation were both expertly done.
It was a very good experience and I have and will continue to recommend Carl for all things deck.

Carl is an excellent craftsman who keeps you involved in the process. Everything he does is well thought out with no corner cutting. He is priced fairly for the work he does, you can probably find cheaper people, but you pay for what you get. I have recommended him to many of my friends and wouldn't hesitate to do so in the future.
