Get matched with top deck and porch pros in Bethesda, MD

"I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with the recent retaining wall replacement project completed by John Krause Construction (JKC) at my property. After reading positive reviews and receiving an estimate that, although over my budget, seemed reasonable for the work involved, I made the decision to hire JKC. Unfortunately, this has proven to be a significant mistake, and I am left extremely disappointed with both the quality of work and the overall experience. Here are the main issues I encountered: 1. Unprofessional Behavior: The crew exhibited unacceptable behavior while working on my property. Not only did I witness them disposing of bodily fluids on-site, but they were also disrespectful and dismissive. when I raised concerns no response was received. I now smell urine when entering and exiting my garage. 2. Unresponsive Ownership: I have attempted to reach out to the owner multiple times to address these concerns and resolve the issues, but my messages have been met with silence. This lack of communication is incredibly frustrating and has only added to my disappointment. The owner refused to speak on the phone since the owner was made aware of the call being recorded. 3. Property Damage: During the construction process, my property was left damaged in multiple areas. This included e.g., landscaping destruction, equipment damage. Personal crew members vehicles being driven through my yard leaving deep tire marks damage. 4. Subpar Quality of Work: Despite the high cost of the project, the final result does not meet the standards outlined in the estimate or contract. No proper grading was completed. Every time it rains pools of water sits in front and behind the wall. The response received was. “we have passed all inspections.  There will be some water pooling while it is settling still. Plus the fact of the hard rain today, it will happen.” The wall has been completed for 2 months. Given the extensive problems, stress and anxiety I have faced. I do not recommend John Krause Construction."

"After deciding to rebuild our older deck, we had to do some research on companies and speak with prospective vendors. We met with four businesses and carefully evaluated their offerings, services, quality of previous work, and costs. We ultimately chose the Deck Buddy primarily because of their professionalism, approach, and openness during the selection process. Doru was the primary point of contact throughout the entire process, and we chose to work with them because of his dedication, approach, and responsiveness. Every day, his team was punctual, courteous, and clean. They began on schedule and completed the entire project ahead of schedule. We are pleased with our deck and highly recommend his business and staff. Excellent work."

"Amazing job! Carlos and his team of experts went the extra mile to ensure that I got exactly what I wanted. Carlos reviewed details of the contract with me and we worked together to make adjustments if I had minor changes during the remodel. Long Creek construction workers, plumber, and electrician were timely, efficient, and consistently worked M-F and on some weekends. The result of Long Creekâ s work is a beautiful 600+ sq ft bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom is absolute nirvana: beautiful black matte porcelain tile floor, a black porcelain tile accent wall and shower accent, with luxury polished cream tiled walls with hints of black within. The shower has 6 shower heads, including 1 static rainfall, 1 hand-held shower head along with 4 side-wall mounted pressure point shower heads. The mirror has a defogger button and three-way light dimmingâ seriously? On either side of the mirror are beautiful sconce lights. The Woodbridge freestanding jetted tub is the final touch to give the bathroom a total spa-like atmosphere. And the vanity has spring-loaded closures for the cabinet doors and drawersâ no detail was overlooked. Long Creek did a spectacular job increasing the size of the primary bedroom from previously 200 sq ft to over 600 sq ft. It features two walk-in closets, beautiful solid hardwood floors, a high ceiling with recessed lighting with dimmers. The ceiling fan is a top-quality 8000+ CFM beauty. The bedroom has a large sitting room that breaks up the space very well and gives me and my husband the feeling that we are in an upscale hotel suite instead of a bedroom. Long Creek Construction is a professional, efficient, team of experts. They worked every dayâ even days with inclement weather. They donâ t waste time, they are incredibly accommodating, and they do things right! I am so impressed with the level of regular communication, exceptional quality of work, and timeliness of Long Creek Construction. I am extremely happy with the work and ! will definitely choose them again!"
