I absolutely loved having Islander make my turning my backyard Covid project into an real life Oasis! From pavers, fencing, redecking, and some interior remodeling work, Islander’s workers were in and out in no time. Andy and his son Andrew were effective with communication and incredibly thorough from preliminary drawings to final walkthrough. I’m very pleased with our new masterpiece and am happy to use them again when the time comes. -Thanks again! SW

It didn't go anywhere. I took time off work for them to come out. No one showed up, called the office which gave me an excuse. Then rescheduled for that Friday, owner (?) came out took measurements. When I mentioned the added room was a washer room, he stated they would just demo it. When I asked what would I do with the appliances & hot water heater, he said they would run the pipes under the deck. So no mention of adding the room back on. Said he would call me with an estimate the beginning of the week. Being 4th July weekend I waited for a week for the estimate. Called Andy (owner ?) and he said it must be on the computer, he'll send when he gets back to the office. Never received the estimate, I emailed the company no response. For a company that has been in business for 26 year and supposedly has five stars, not sure how. I don't find them very professional. If they didn't want to do the job, they just should of said so. I would never ever recommend this company to anyone. They aren't even worth one star !!!!

wasted 90 days listening to hollow promises, and dealing with unanswered phone calls, voice mails, texts, and emails... Just a small time outfit using sub-contractors to do the work... Lacks overall basic management skills of planning, organizing, programming, controlling, etc... poor communication skills overall. Tried changing scope of project by replacing material composition to swell his profit. Be careful when dealing with this company

Andy and his team were great to work with every step of the way. Professional, thorough and very accommodating when I requested a couple of modifications from the original design. Andy was very good about keeping me updated on progress before the work started and made sure I was completely satisfied, regularly checking in during construction. Couldn't be more pleased with the end result. Great company to work with.

Islander building was really a pleasure to work with! Andy worked with us on our deck design that complimented our backyard but maximized the space. Their communication was so prompt and clear, and they actually stayed true to their word (unheard of!). Andy even worked extra hours on the job to ensure our deck was ready for a grilling gathering we had planned. Love the end result and a great experience overall. I definitely would use them again and recommend them to everyone! If you're looking for a reliable and honest company that will work tirelessly to make you happy and get the job done right, look no further. Islander is what you need. Thanks again for the great job done and all of the help! -SW

After the initial snafu of no response, it went very well. The company worked around unforeseen problems that arose and completed the job efficiently. The new deck looks great, glad to have the composite decking. Am already having them quote another job.
