I have a great experience with them, after the painting, there were some little spots that needed to be painted when I contacted them, they came right away to solve it. I will definitely recommend them.

I enjoyed working with Dennis and his team.

Stumpy's build a deck for our new construction home that included a Trex deck with stairs (and gate) and a cedar pergola. The deck looks great and we love the outcome. Would definitely use Stumpy's again, the team working on the project was great as was the project supervisor. Because we did not have a deck, the project required removing siding, adding a ledger board (two if you include the pergola's), pouring footings, etc. Everything turned out great. Project took longer than expected due to a very late spring and high amounts of rain. Would have liked more communication on the timing of the project starting, but everything up to signing an agreement and once the project was started was absolutely great. Would use in the future for a screened in porch plan we have for under our new deck in a few years.
Response from Stumpy's Deck Renewal, Inc.

"These are very nice folks. We appreciate their patience with the city and with the weather. Unfortunately, everyone (including the city) was impacted by a very poor Spring/Summer of weather. Their persistence paid off with the completion of an absolutely beautiful deck. Thank you again for your understanding and consideration. We were very happy to have had the opportunity to work with you."

Stumpy's power washed 2 decks and sanded and stained them. They also power washed dozens of landscaping stepping stones around the yard. They power washed a paver brick patio and leveled loose areas and added set/sand between the pavers. I live in a very shaded area with many trees so this was a big job to repair everything after many years of neglect. Stumpy's was prompt, reliable, professional and very pleasant to work with and has fantastic employees. The early cold and wet Fall weather caused many problems with the staining but they brought in heaters to warm and dry the decks. Everything is absolutely gorgeous and just like new again. Stumpy's went above and beyond. I would highly recommend them to everyone!!!

Was given a fair bid price, work was done very professionally and I am very happy with the results. Power washed, sanded, and stained deck. Also replaced boards that were rotting. Team was very easy to work with. Would recommend them and use them again.

We really spent some time looking for the right company to build our composite deck. Because of all the issues our friends and family had with previous contractors on projects, we considered cost but really were more focused on quality and getting our deck done right by a company that would support their work.
Response from Stumpy's Deck Renewal, Inc.

"Like the majority of folks this terrific family had horror stories of work completed by previous contractors. They reached out to us because they wanted to see a positive result and build a deck that their family could enjoy for many years. As with all our clients, we completed their project in a timely fashion and with a high level of quality. Their appreciation and gratitude demonstrated to our team and company was very much valued. There is nothing more satisfying than bringing happiness to good people."

Very honest workers. They told me up front that i may need to repair the underlying structure of the deck if it's rotted, but they would only know once they remove the planks . When they did they said the structure is sound and very good so no underlying structure repairs were needed. They made additional fixes by putting in proper flashing that they noticed was missing around the perimeter of the house. So, they took genuine interest in doing a really good job.
Response from Stumpy's Deck Renewal, Inc.

"Andreas and his family were an absolute pleasure to work with. Our team worked diligently to make sure we addressed the project with the family?s best objectives in mind. We worked very closely with Andreas to adapt the decking system to make it aesthetically enhanced and more functional for the family. The end result really turned out terrifically."

Contractor did complete the job but there were problems. Deck failed first inspection because it did not comply with local building code for hand rails and post. Sub-optimal communication between contractor owner, contractor agent and customer. Follow-up regarding initial inspection not good. Lots of finger pointing between contractor, local inspector, city permitting department, and customer. Not satisfied with contractor owners negative attitude directed towards customer. A thorough and comprehensive review of local building requirements for decks prior to the start of the project would have prevented all of these problems. The city publishes exactly what the requirements are. I've experienced better. Did not check for water around the patio door and they missed that too, they got away with several unfinished parts.
Response from Stumpy's Deck Renewal, Inc.

"We truly care about each and every client who utilizes our service. This is evidenced by the quality of our reviews and the fact that we have been in business for over two decades without a single, unresolved issue against the company. We do not finalize a project without meeting our standards of quality and making certain the customer is happy and each project meets all state/local building codes. With regard to this particular project, this was a repair/tear-off and not a new deck build. Subsequently, grandfathering of the initial build is typical as the initial design/build including framework does not always accommodate current building standards. Prior to starting the project an outline was submitted to both the client and the city for approval. This included material and design specifics as well as final renderings of the completed project. ?ALL? specifics of the project were both approved by the city and the home owner. The deck was built according to the approved outline. Upon final inspection of the deck, the individual inspector did request some updates which we were happy to address. This is very typical and we will see some variance from inspector to inspector. We always do our best to accommodate individual inspectors. The updates were completed with no impact to the customer in terms of cost or quality of the finished project. Ultimately, the finished deck turned out beautifully. We will be posting pictures of this project in our Updates to the Spring Website. We are uncertain of any ?UNFINISHED PARTS? referenced by this individual. In fact, our building supervisor did a full walk-through with both the inspector and the homeowner. At that time, no additional items of concern were indicated and at no point was any work encompassing the patio door ever requested by the client. In fact, no outstanding concerns have been communicated since final inspection. We really went above and beyond to assist this client including responding to over 180 emails, texts, and phone calls (many of which occurred after 10pm and on Sunday).. Unfortunately, the client habitually ?CREATED? issues that were unfounded or unwarranted. With respect to the client, we will not dwell on the considerable specifics and some very irregular elicited behavior. As noted previously, we completed final walk-throughs and no additional items of concern were raised. The deck looks impressive and was built with a level of craftsmanship and quality that meets the expected requirements and standards of our company and customers. In fact, the city inspector even commented on how nice the deck looked. We will continue to provide the level of quality and service for each and every customer that they deserve."

I hired Stumpy's to do a deck replacement. A rather complicated project - the deck was over the driveway and had a rather long span for the entry to the tuck under garage. Stumpy's was not the lowest bid, but they were the company that explained it best to me. Dennis answered my questions and convinced me that he and his team were professionals who knew what they were doing. Yes, that span would require an engineered beam and yes that is expensive and no he would not compromise on it. And yes the footings need to be so big and so deep and no, the old footings won't do and will need to be replaced. And yes it will need to be permitted and plans approved by the city and then inspected at several stages during construction. I had the feeling that some of the other companies I asked to bid on the job didn't even realize all this. Stumpy's provided far nicer plans of what the result would look like and a well-itemized estimate. Also, I don't even live in the area (I rent the property out) so I knew that much would be communicated by phone calls and emails. Dennis and Stumpy's gave me the best feeling about dealing with this remotely. I am very pleased with the end result and with Stumpy's, as is my tenant.
Response from Stumpy's Deck Renewal, Inc.

"Scott and his tenants were wonderful to work with. This was a fairly complex, over the garage deck that required some engineering and special attention. The time invested to plan with the city and the patience of the client resulted in an impressive finish. Thank you folks for your kindness and consideration during this process."

This is the first time I used this web site and I was very pleased. I received a phone call right away from Dennis and he was very personable and made me laugh. I was one month away from my daughters graduation party. Dennis said they were busy and I was in a panic. Dennis came to the house and sent me the quote the next day. He assured me the deck would be done before the party. Dennis suggested using Cedar and Black Medal Spinal's and a Cedar Privacy fence. He said it would look nice for the party. The project was done two weeks prior to the Party! His Crew did a wonderful job. Dennis stopped by for a visit to see the final result. It is beautiful. I had so many compliments from our friends and family. Dennis really cares about his clients and making them happy. He is a gentleman and i feel like i have known him for years. If you want great service, good communication and a beautiful outcome, Stumpy's is the company to hire. Thanks again for the wonderful job Dennis!

Dennis had communicated and worked with us on the project from the estimate to the finished deck at all time. The estimate is accurate with no surprises to the final cost. The work crew is professional and take the time to do the job right and yet finished the project on time. The materials chosen on the new deck are much better than the original deck materials. The finished new deck is much sturdier and the design provided by Dennis is great; the finished new deck adds additional residual value to our house. TM Wong

Spectacular! We had a family BBQ reunion at my home. I was really worried about my deck getting done in time. No worries!, Dennis came out the next day to give a quote, work started in short time. Flor was so nice & professional cleaning, sanding, then staining our deck. It looks brand new. Couldn't have asked for a better job & at such a reasonable price. Thank You!

From the first conversation with dennis to the last screw in the deck, our experience with stumpy's was awesome. Dennis designed us a great looking deck and Daniel and his crew built it to perfection. they let me know if extra work needed to be performed and got my ok instead of just doing it. From start to finish it took 3 days which also impressed us. They kept our budget in mind every step of the way and there were no sudden unexpected costs. we are overjoyed with our new outdoor space and I would highly recommend this awesome group of professionals hands down! You won't be sorry.

Used this site for the first time. Within minutes had a call from Dennis. Explained I had an urgent need and could he do anything the next day. He did! He had the best crew out to power wash my deck. I was so pleased they came back and did a complete stain finish. Was so please had the crew power wash concrete areas as well. I have used other deck services which damaged my deck and had to replace. I was very unsure of what to expect. They were great! took their time, did it right, let it dry, finished up and did not damage anything, and were reasonably priced. I couldn't be more pleased. Dennis and the team are professional and responsive.

Stumpy's crew did an excellent job from start to finish. They removed my second story deck above a walk out basement and built a very solid and attractive deck It's actually a far superior deck than the one that was built with the house 23 years ago. Dennis and his crew were great to work with and we feel that the money we spent was worth every penny. I highly reccommend Stumpy's if your deck needs to be replaced or repaired.

I liked the work he did for us but he misdiagnosed the problems of our deck . They were much simpler than he told us they were. Our stairs were not dangerous. Boards that he said were split were actually two boards.
Response from Stumpy's Deck Renewal, Inc.

"We always service our customers as accurately and properly as possible. The header that supports the stairs is in fact completely split as demonstrated in the supporting pictures taken. The deck stairs are supported by all of two or three nails. As well, the handrails are significantly deteriorated at certain spots and not safe. We sincerely care about our customers well being and safety. Our job is to assist with identifying deficiencies to aide in helping our customers make important personal and financial decisions."

Daniel & crew did the work to perfection in 3 days...small deck no stairs. Even pointing out 2 support beams rotting that needed to be replaced for safety. Trex composite colors we wanted were perfection.
Response from Stumpy's Deck Renewal, Inc.

"These are exceptional folks and it was our pleasure to have worked with them. We put a great deal of effort into assessing their needs and coming up with a beautiful finished project that met their objectives. They were very understanding as we worked to outline their project. Thank you again!"

As they have not yet completed the deck I have been very happy with the great job and the customer service I have received from them to date. I will have them take over on my other in house project to do my interior railings as well.
Response from Stumpy's Deck Renewal, Inc.

"Great lady! She is going to truly enjoy her brand new deck. We have really enjoyed assisting with your project. :0) Thank you so much for your patience with the weather we have experienced this year. It really is critical to complete these projects when conditions are optimal to insure that the project is done with our customers best interest."

Daniel did a fantastic job cleaning and sanding my deck. The project took longer than the 1 day that was initially scheduled and since additional time was not allotted for him to return on consecutive days, it took several weeks to complete. I had a "lifetime" sealant applied to the deck after sanding/cleaning. I had concerns that it would not penetrate the dense Tiger wood boards, but was assured that it would. After the first heavy rainfall, all of the sealant washed away. Nonetheless, the deck still looks beautiful.
Response from Stumpy's Deck Renewal, Inc.

"Karrie was wonderful and it was our pleasure. The hardwood (Tiger) turned out beautifully. As a note, the sealant is an internal sealant that bonds inside the wood to protect it and make it very enduring. This is not a topical application. However, some residue will result and may have a bit of run-off."

Worked with Dennis...Very amiable man with expertise in the field of wood stain/sealer. Introduced me to a relatively new product with excellent results. Daniel was the applicator and like Dennis made every effort to do a good job, timely and friendly. Appreciate their professionalism and follow up for satisfaction. Highly recommend this service!!!!
