I was impressed by the results that the team that build our new deck (John K., Teo, Fernando, and Lester) produced. They accurately followed the agreed upon design, adapting professionally as necessary to any surprises they encountered, ultimately designing and building a deck that exceeded my expectations. It's beautiful and sturdy - and construction itself took only 2 days, from start to finish! Our family and neighbors have already complimented it without solicitation, and I won't hesitate to recommend Fence & Deck Connection to my friends, neighborhood, and family as a result of the efforts of the team that I named here!

Buyer Beware Run Away! (we dealt with the Veterans Hwy office) Fence and Deck Connection is an unprofessional organization that "installs" fences poorly. Don't beleive me, keep reading. We hired Fence and Deck Connection to install roughly 10 feet of privacy fence and gate. We assumed that they were professional enough to plan, execute, and provide quality control for the project. Well none of that is true. Chris, the project manager, failed to plan, control, or lead the project. He delivered the wrong plans to the crew which put the fence in the wrong spot swinging the wrong way. The first attempt at our fence was wrong in every way. They had to come back--take it all down and rebuild it from scratch. Chris povided no leadership or quality control during the process. In fact, he couldn't be bothered to come back and check the work. On the first go the crew dumped dry concrete mix down the fence post holes and when confronted about it Chris attempted to claim this a dry pour. He said that this will harden with ground moisture into solid concrete. The crew that installed the fence on both occasions were not properly equipped to do the job given that the fence parts are not even cut to the right dimensions. To be clear we just left the "fixed" version with its poor install quality alone becasue the issues aren't worth having the fence rebuilt a third time. Things like the gate not being even, or that we were told by Bob, who is Chris's boss, that the fence was going to need be adjusted by September-- 5 months after install. The company treated us with a lack of respect and a lack of professionalism when it came our justified complaints about the wrong install, poor communication, customer service and workmanship. In fact, Joel told us that it was essentially our fault that the fence was wrong for providing the wrong plans, when the company was in fact in charge of that. Leaving aside the blatent deception with the "concrete" with no water-- which is all on video. I am sure this low-grade company will try to convince you that we are unreasonable customers or that they fixed it so all should be forgiven. Sure, we are unreasonable for thinking they should do a good job. Yes we are unreasonable for thinking that we should not have to watch them to make sure they do a good job. We are unreasonble for being insulted with a $100 Amazon gift card as a "good faith" gesture as if the issues weren't that bad when they had to completely replace and remeasure all fencing and gate. The time for them to make it right was immediately, and to leave a good impression started on day one. They left us running away. They demonstrated a lack of professionalism--sneaking onto our property to install the fence the first time saying nothing and sneaking away saying nothing when finished. The project manager couldn't even be bothered to keep the basics straight. Where the gate goes, how big it should be, where the posts go, what plan the workers needed-- nothing. This company is utterly incompetent and no matter what deal they offer you it is waste of your time and money.

My experience with Fence & Deck Connection was nothing short of great! From the first time I met with Chris and gave him my vision of what I wanted, there was one obstacle in my yard, but Chris came up with a solution to work around that. I think it took less than an hour for him to get the estimate to me and I was very satisfied with the price. A few days later, Jimmy showed up to take pictures and measurements and explained to me everything that would take place. Little did they know at the time, my neighbor approves permits for the town and she expressed how professional they were and everything was in order and she never had to reach back out to them. On the first day the crew worked through the rain until about 3pm when the rain just became too much. The next day was a complete washout, out of their control, so no work could be performed. However, the next two days the crew worked late into the day to finish. They power washed the deck and cleaned up the yard whereas you could never tell that a work crew had been there. Needless to say, I am extremely happy with my new deck! I would recommend Fence & Deck Connection to anyone and want to thank everyone involved for the great job!

Working with you (Steve Nehus) has truly been a wonderful experience. From the first day we met, you were very honest and down to earth. I felt no sales pressure whatsoever. You were able to answer all my questions and did not push anything on me. I really felt at ease knowing that you were just there trying to represent your company and your products and not pressuring me into anything. Your communication was also fantastic. Every phone call was answered and every email was answered in a timely manner. When it came time to sign the contract, you were extremely helpful in answering all my questions and most importantly, you were very honest and true to your word. Between the time of contract signing and when the project was supposed to begin, which was a couple of months, your communication was very open and you made sure to keep me in the loop. When it came time to meet with Mike, my Production Manager, he was also an extremely nice and down to earth guy. I could not have asked for a better person to work with. Mike listened to all my concerns and made sure that I was taken care of. What set him apart was actually feeling that he had my best interest at heart. After the installation was complete and we did the final walkthrough, we identified some issues both with the materials and the installation. Not once did Mike try to argue his way out of the issues. No matter how small, he took note of them and promised to address them. And that was what really set him apart; his kept promises. He addressed every concern I had and made sure that I was happy with the final result. Fence and Deck Connection is a company I wish every company would aspire to be. At the end of the day, customer satisfaction is your number one priority and it definitely shows. What makes a great company is the people that make up that company, and both you (Steve) and Mike were second to none.
Response from Fence & Deck Connection Inc

We pride ourselves on providing a stress-free and informative experience, and it's wonderful to hear that Steve’s communication and support throughout the process reinforced this. We are equally delighted to hear about your interactions with Mike. His dedication to addressing your concerns and ensuring your satisfaction is a cornerstone of our commitment to excellent customer service. It’s gratifying to know that his promises and follow-through made a lasting impression. At Fence and Deck Connection, our team members are indeed the backbone of our company. We believe that the exceptional service provided by individuals like Steve and Mike truly sets us apart. Your recognition of their efforts and our company's values means the world to us.

Called to schedule a consultation and was told they don't build screened decks in PG County because of the permit process, however I only called because there was a recent review from a customer in PG County getting a screened in deck, so I went back to the website to make sure I called the correct number and although a different number the same person answered the phone, when I explained my confusion she basically said they were backed up and couldn't take any customers in this area for screened decks so very confusing and not the best first impression. So if you are in PG County try another company and don't waste your time.
Response from Fence & Deck Connection Inc
"Dear [Member Name Removed], We're truly sorry to hear about your frustrating experience. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience caused during your attempt to schedule a consultation. We understand that inconsistency in our messaging can be disheartening, especially when you're eager to explore options for your home improvement project. We strive to provide clear and accurate information to all our potential customers, and it's disappointing to hear that we fell short of that standard in your case. Permit processes and project capacities can vary, and while we aim to accommodate as many clients as possible, there are times when we must prioritize existing commitments. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we're committed to addressing these issues internally to ensure a smoother and more transparent experience for all future inquiries. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we sincerely hope you find a suitable solution for your screened deck project. If you have any further concerns or would like to discuss your experience in more detail, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly. We value the opportunity to make things right and regain your trust. Sincerely, Fence & Deck Connection"

My overall experience was awesome from beginning to end. Jimmy, my salesperson, was available to answer any questions in a timely manner and notified me promptly when we needed to make a change in the contract. Ben, the Project Manager, was superb in explaining the process in real time and kept me abreast of any changes with the deck and when the crew would be there. The crew was fantastic and hard working — they were very dedicated to the job and paid attention to details. I could not have hand picked a better team and they were approved by one of the most important family members, Adonis (the canine manager). My deck is beautiful, I could not have dreamed it would be this nice. The quality of care put into their work is unmatched. Thank you guys for an awesome job.

I just wanted to let you know that we are very impressed with the new deck and fence. The level of detail and craftsmanship on the deck is amazing and I am sure we will get many years of enjoyment out of it. And the fence is a huge improvement over the rusty old chain link we had. All of the Fence and Deck Connection crew were courteous, professional and seemed to work tirelessly even in the heat. Thanks so much for the great job. We will definitely turn to you for our next job and also let our friends and neighbors know about you.

I am thrilled with my black estate fence! From initial contact to final installation, Fence and Deck Connection has been incredibly helpful and quick to respond throughout the project. I started with a request for a quote in May 2022. My HOA wouldn't approve. Jake was great about working on modifications to the original proposal to comply with our HOA guidelines and provided me paperwork to include in my 2nd and 3rd appeals to the HOA. I was finally approved in March. Stephen was great on the installation: getting the permit, contacting Miss Utility and overseeing the 2 man installation crew. They were happy to accommodate our schedule around the recent sod we had laid. The installers were careful to do minimal damage to the new sod and the garden beds. When the crew left, it looked as though the fence was always part of our landscaping. I am so grateful for the communication and expertise the Fence and Deck Connection team brought to our project! Cost wise - They were not the least expensive nor the most expensive of the estimates we had gotten...but their product was a bit thicker and better warrantied. I highly recommend Fence and Deck!!

The team Fence & Deck sent to install a fence in my backyard—an area measuring about 1/6th of an acre—were quick, efficient, and friendly. The first team member showed up just before 7:30 to start dismantling the old fence. By 8 AM, the rest of the team was hard at work. It was a quieter process than I thought, to be honest—which was great, as my neighbors work from home. They were finished by 2 PM; had cleaned up, packed up the old fence and their equipment and were gone. There were issues with installing the new fence: trees had grown into the fence path, most of them belonging to the neighbors. The team presented me with possible solutions at each point, so I could get the fence I wanted—or as close as was possible given the obstacles. It was a very low-stress construction day, and we—and our neighbors—really like the results.

I received several estimates and Fence & Deck Connection, after a very professional examination of the situation and a very clear explanation of the replacement plan, presented me with the lowest bid. Another fence company's bid was three times the cost! After choosing Fence & Deck Connection, I had two more visits from their personnel to plan the installation. When the crew arrived to install they were fully aware of what needed to be done. In one morning they installed a beautiful fence that was even more than I had hoped for. I will certainly use this company for future fencing projects.

The Fence and Deck Connection total experience completely exceeded expectations! From the initial contact to request a meeting; meeting with David King to discuss our ideas and creating design plans; receiving CAD drawing of the design; meeting with Anthony (AJ) Jean-Louis to discuss production plans and quickly answering questions along the way; the production team did a great job on the work site everyday - from start to finish; and meeting with AJ for final walkthrough. The complete process was done with professionalism; an enjoyable experience for such a major project. We are so glad that we selected Fence and Deck Connection for our deck and fence replacement projects. We look forward to enjoying our deck for many years to come!

If I could give zero stars I would. I contracted this company to build a $50k plus fence and gate on my property. Absolutely worst customer service and treatment I have ever received on such a large purchase. Ignored calls, emails, missed deadlines, and flat out lies written into my "account file" about who talked to me when, etc. are just the small issues. They sold me an automatic gate and keypad that they can't service and "will have to figure out who would work on that" after the gate has broken numerous times. I have had to contract gate repair companies separately after "they would check into it" and never called back. Standard fencing product is beyond cheap and breaks easily. But if you want it repaired or replaced it takes 4-5 months. Really blown away by how badly I was treated by this company. The funny thing is I need a brand new deck, screened in porch, pool patio, etc. down the road and had they handled ALL of the project with me differently they could have received my continued business. I have never regretted such a large purchase before and will tell everyone I know to not use this company!
Response from Fence & Deck Connection Inc
"Dear Mrs. [Member Name Removed], Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry for your frustration regarding your fence installation and service requests. Customer satisfaction is our number one goal and we strive to do everything possible for 5 star experiences. Unfortunately your contract was not paid in full after completion and therefore, per our contractual agreement, any service or warranty requests would not be honored. We invoiced multiple times without receiving any payments and then finally agreed to accept partial payments to help you satisfy the balance. We normally do not do this but felt we were in unique times and we wanted to help. The balance on your contract was finally paid in December of 2020, well after the installation was completed in January of 2019, which was over a year ago. We set a high standard for ourselves, and always shoot to exceed expectations for every client. As you can see on other reviews, we are known for our award winning customer service, caring deeply about our clients, and going the extra mile when necessary. Now that the project has been fully satisfied, we would be happy to address any issues with the project. Please feel free to reach out with any further comments, concerns, or suggestions. Sincerely, Fence & Deck Connection"

I’d definitely recommend Fence and Deck in the future. Our experience was great from the initial proposal visit to completion of the project. Although your company was very busy, Fence and Deck met each schedule milestone and completed the work on time. I appreciated the visit by the job foreman who talked me through each step of the job and worked with me on the final configuration. On construction day the crew showed up on time, removed the old fencing, completed the new fence, and cleaned up bits and pieces of debris before leaving. We are very satisfied with the work and the neighbors are happy too.
