"Thank you so much Mrs [Member Name Removed] I’m so glad we were able to work you in and make both decks safe for your family."
Let me tell you, I have hired many contractors for various jobs at three different homes and I found the Deck Works crew to be among the most professional, cordial craftsman I have ever experienced. As a person who is hard to please, I am happy to report how pleased I was with Andy's crew. They dealt with my concerns and plan revisions incredibly well. Their attention to detail was quite frankly - surprising. After three days of work, Deck Works completed a new beautiful cedar deck that we are enjoying. I, obviously, would hire the Deck Works crew to complete any construction task I have in the future - and I will.
Price was right.
Best clean up I have ever had on outdoor projects.
Great PR
Wonderful to work with for changes and details.
Mr West had originally informed me that it was likely that the work wouldn't be done until shortly after Labor Day. The only complaints that I had were of the communication nature.
When trying to get a status update on when work would start, Mr. West did not consistently respond to my e-mail requests, and I found that calling him worked better. And there were definitely disconnects in trying to get a handle on when the work would begin. Late in August I talked to Mr West - he thought he had told me when it would start, but he hadn't yet. He subsequently sent me an e-mail stating it would be the week of Sept 8th. Right after Labor Day I called to find out what day he would start. He thought he had told me it would start on Sept 8th.
Another problem occurred during the 1st day. Fortunately I was home to observed that the way the workers were laying out the deck foundation would preclude there being a recessed step, as detailed in the plans I had signed off on. The lead worker, Jose, showed me his drawing that called for a step that was outside the border of the deck, not recessed into the deck. However, when I showed him the plan I had signed off on he readily modified the foundation layout to accommodate the recessed step we were expecting.
The workers appeared to be highly skilled at what they were doing, and my wife and I are very pleased with the end result. The work was mostly completed on Sept 8 & 9. One worker, Sam, came back on Sep 11 (it rained most of the day on Sep 10) and finished the fence work. All the workers were very polite, willingly answered my questions, and let me take lots of pictures so that I had a record of how it was installed.
The only other problem was a disconnect at final billing. Sam had told me to expect a final invoice in the mail. When I got the final invoice via e-mail from Mr. West he had forgotten to include the Angie's List member discount, that he had agreed to back in August. However, Mr West did acknowledge that the discount should have been included in the final invoice, and accepted payment accordingly.
It is for these above communication issues that I downgraded to "B" for the categories of "Responsiveness" and "Professionalism". The responsiveness and professionalism of the workers themselves, and the work that they did was definitely "A".
Overall, my wife and I are very pleased, and we would definitely be willing to use Deck Works again.
