It went very well. I had a problem with the door and called them; they came promptly and took care of it.

It turned out really well. They were very good with follow up. They kept an eye on us and checked in to make sure everything was going well.

They worked quickly without any disruption to our home. They were personable and professional. Went above and beyond to assist with advice, sharing information.

Bid process very quick and responsive. Work started quickly after bid was accepted and on the agreed date. Work finished as per schedule. Very professional job. Site clean-up was excellent. Discussed solution and progress of job with me during the work. No surprises, very satisfied.

Greg S overran our contract by $100,000 (40%) and 2 months late when he abandoned job without consult. Greg S. Denied all warranty work (4 major plumbing failures, sewage backup over entire basement, plus code violations.) 10 months later Greg S. added $25,000 invoice claiming "100% performance" and promptly sued me, wife, and mother separately (case 03CV06713) pre-empting arbitration mandate. Greg withheld and denied complete audit for 6 years, and cost me $23,000 more. Both arbitration and court case ruled against Deckscapes in our favor. We OWED NOTHING. $0.00. Deckscapes OWES US $9,000 but Deckscapes refuses to pay the court ordered amount. Irresponsible in project execution, despicable conduct in aftermath. Horrible, gut-wrenching experience. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I gave them my drawing and specifications of what I wanted and they provided an estimate. Once the project was agreed, they started on time, brought in outside experts when necessary (i.e., HVAC), took extra steps to ensure a first rate job, completed the project on time and on budget.

THIS COMPANY HAD DONE A NICE JOB ON A REMODEL FOR OUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE, SO WE WERE REFERRED BY HER. A REPRESENTATIVE ARRIVED WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS TO PROVIDE A FREE ESTIMATE. WE OKAYED THE WORK SEVERAL DAYS LATER.
WE NEVER HEARD BACK FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. WE THOUGHT THEY WERE JUST BACKED UP WITH LARGER JOBS. FINALLY WE CALLED TO DETERMINE WHERE WE WERE ON THE SCHEDULE. APPARENTLY THE WORK ORDER HAD BEEN MISPLACED.
ALTHOUGH EXCUSES WERE MADE, THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS APOLOGETIC. A WORKMAN ARRIVED WITHIN A FEW DAYS.
THE WORKMAN WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND DID A FANTASTIC JOB PERFORMING THE REPAIR. THE WORKSMANSHIP AND MATERIALS WERE FIRST RATE.
THE FINAL COST WAS ABOUT $150 LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE. THE WORK AREA WAS LEFT CLEAN.
I FEEL THE SCHEDULING PROBLEM WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE, BUT GIVING THE NUMEROUS EXCUSES WAS UNNECESSARY. GRADE FOR RESPONSIVENESS WAS MARKED DOWN ONE NOTCH FOR THE MISTAKE AND ANOTHER FOR THE EXCUSES
