Dick's Decks

The owner promptly gave me an estimate, I hired him to build a deck for my pool. The deck did not pass city inspection but the owner completed the repairs and it passed. After I hired ***** decks I could never get ahold of him and he never returned calls. He would just show up. I made sure to ask if the pool cover would fit between the deck and pool, I was told the wood will shrink and if not he would come back and cut the wood. I've been leaving messages all week and no response. Not a happy consumer! Guess Dick doesn't want repeat customers.

I called twice for an estimate and they never returned either call. I even specified on their voice mail to please call me back, even if they were too busy at this time to do any type of work, that way I would know.

My parents love the deck and wished they would have purchased it a long time ago. Neighbors and visitors have told my parents how nice the deck looks. They get compliments on it all the time. I rated punctuality lower because there were times when they thought the crew was coming but didn't show up. My elderly parents would have liked to get a call saying they would not be there even though it may have been a rainy day.

Hired Dick's Decks to build a 500+ sq ft deck. It turned out awesome! Initial call went well, met in person promptly after first call. Dick was personable and presented himself well. Brought in a photo book with his previous work, which was great. Took his time and went over the options available to us. Is a good listener and took our ideas and translated that into a deck plan. Made helpful suggestions and made liberal use of this photo book to help explain the options and visualize what we would be getting. He helped us to choose a Trex decking with Cedar for the posts and rails, explaining that was the best compromise on price and performance. His quote wasn't the rock bottom cheapest but far from the most expensive we received. For the materials and size of the deck we wanted, we felt his quote was fair. Overall, he was the most in tune with what we were looking for and had solid evidence of performing quality work, so we choose him. We ran into a slight delay with City Hall and the planned dimensions. I thought Dick had the right balance of fighting for our design, but knowing when it was time to give in to City Hall. With that out of the way Dick and his crew came in and started work. Had zero issues with permits, he accurately took care of it all and passed inspection. When it comes to construction, they don't cut corners and make sure to do it right, which was reassuring. In the end we have a beautiful deck that I'm sure we won't have structural issues with down the road. I'm happy with the result and would highly recommend Dick's Decks to anyone. Give him a shot, you won't be disappointed.

I called and left message for an estimate. He called me back two days later and we set up an appointment for the following week. He never called, never showed. I called and left message and told him it would be okay if he needed to reschedule due to rain, etcetera, but never got a call, never any response at all. It would have been nice to know he wasn't going to show since I took early off of work. He lost out on a good job and this was my first contractor with Angie's List, I'm not too impressed....

Wow, I can't say enough good things about this company. Talked to Richard on the phone and he promptly came out and gave me an estimate. I had quite a few other estimates which were outrageous. At first, I just wanted to reface my old deck by replacing the floor and railings but he informed me that the deck was sinking and off level and I would be better off rebuilding the whole deck for him to warranty it. I agreed since the old deck had been up for appx 27 years. And the price he gave me was lower than companies that just wanted to reface it. I then decided to go with him. After signing the contract and giving him a deposit, he was out within a couple days to remove the old deck. He carried away the old scrap and then came back the next day to set the poles and start the deck. He was there for the entire time the deck was being built. It took them about four days to build it but this was only due to being rained out for a couple of those days. They worked as long as they could until it was raining so hard they couldn't do anything further. It was a very rainy week. If not for the rain, I'm sure they could have been done in two days. Richard and his crew were very professional and even threw in a couple extras for me, like the sunburst design and some other things. I have already referred him to a couple of my friends that need a deck. He is starting on a friend of mine's deck next week. I would highly recommend D**** Decks!!

D**** Decks added flower boxes and detailing at no expense and really went the extra mile to sell us the best quality deck and superior workmanship. The owner came out and personally helped us design the deck incorporating our ideas and he was also at the job site at all times during construction. I was impressed with the final product and with all of the photos of decks that this company has built over the years. Definatley not a fly by night company. I would recommend Dick's Decks to all of my neighbors. Well Done.
