There were some minor cosmetic things I noticed after construction and just cleaned up myself, but all in all I think I got a very good deck at a great price. I would absolutely use Deck by All Means again.

Bob Means built a new deck for us from scratch. We provided plans and he was able to not only interpret what we wanted, but he made suggestions that really helped improve the design of the deck. His team on site (led by Butch) was professional and easy to work with. They cut no corners and dealt with minor issues that came up with skill and ease. The words of the final inspector were: "He always does great work".

Seven years later and the deck is still in great shape! Bob and his crew do quality work using quality materials! One of his guys recommended treating the deck with TWP stain. TWP is FAR better than any other stain on the market! I use it every other year. This deck get direct sunlight and still looks great!

Bob and his team did an excellent job of building our deck. Bob took a lot of time with us at the onset, working with our ideas and helping us determine what would work, and more importantly what would not. His team was terrific. They were very pleasant to deal with, courteous, worked clean, (tarps on the ground to keep the deck clean while they worked), and were clearly excellent craftsmen truly building quality into the deck every step of the way. The result was a well designed deck that fit our need and the space we had for it perfectly. We would highly recommend these guys.

Bob understood what I wanted and was responsive to questions and changes. Once we settled on the design, he let me know when they would start. The project ran very smoothly. He took care of permitting and inspections. His team showed up each day and did the work without issue and we are thrilled with the results. Highly recommend!

Bob Means and his team were great. They do exceptional work and provided me with a wonderfully constructed and safe deck. The craftsmanship is top notch. It has features upon inspection that are just care and concern for details. I couldn't be happier with the deck that Decks By All Means built for my home.

Bob and his crew did an excellent job on my new deck. He responded in a timely manner to texts and calls. He and his crew were punctual and professional. I would both recommend DBAM and hire them again.

Bob was awesome to work with and his crew did an excellent job repairing the structure of our oversized deck and removing and installing new trex railings. We couldn’t be any happier. Bob was prompt and communicated regularly. We plan to use him again on another project later this year and will recommend him to our friends.

Overall, the project went smoothly. We had a bit of a bump with the start date and miscommunication about the size of the new deck. Bob handled this with extreme professionalism and corrected the situation quickly. Bob and his crew removed a small grill deck and added on a new significantly larger deck running the length of our house - on a highly sloped yard. He was able to preserve the existing outdoor stairs which saved tremendously on costs. Bob handled all permits and inspections. He also coordinated with a power washing and staining crew and electrician. He handled all of the details which was a huge help to us. Bob also handled a last minute addition of a gate to complete the job. The new structure is gorgeous! And quite sturdy - we joke that should a tornado every visit our street, the house may blow away, but we’re pretty sure that the deck will still be standing ? I have already recommended Bob to friends and would hire him again in a second if we need additional work done,

The whole experience was excellent. Normally I don't choose the least expensive provider in a contract company, but in this case I did and it was a fantastic experience. Not only was the work top notch and done on time but the price was significantly lower than the other bids I had. I would highly recommend Decks By All Means to anyone building extending or redoing deck in any manor. Quality people, quality product, quality price.

The builders were quick and professional, and they did a fantastic job with the deck and debris removal! The picture speaks for itself. Mr. Means was patient with my many questions, and worked patiently with me on some design tweaks to make it the deck we wanted.

We love the new deck! Bob made important changes to the design - eliminating steps leading out of the house and screened in porch to the deck, expanding its length and width, narrowing the staircase a bit to the backyard which allowed the landscaping below to remain the same, and extending the staircase so that it landed on the deck below instead of on the ground. The crew of 5-6 individuals was awesome. I was really impressed by the way the team worked together and discussed the best way to overcome the difficulties they were presented with (because the height of the deck increased, siding had to be removed and an electrical outlet was left close to deck level) . The crew was fast - the entire process was completed within a week of my initial phone call to the company! (Please note that the cost of service did not include staining which was performed by another provider).

Bob and his crew were a pleasure to work with and listened to my ideas and concerns throughout the project. They approached this old creaky house with sensible solutions that worked with the existing structure and created a lovely outdoor living space. Bob is very detail-oriented and goes over and above for his clients. Honestly, I've been meaning to write a review for months but put it off, because I don't like writing online reviews. But Bob really did a superlative job and his skilled crew deserve a high recommendation.

Everything went great. Bob's crew was able to build everything I wanted including some custom ideas. They even worked straight through and fixed the deck when a tree fell on it half way through construction without missing a beat, and without any evidence of the tragedy. Great crew! Attached photos were taken about 1/2 way through the staining process.
Response from DECKS BY ALL MEANS
"Thank you sir. I still look at the video you sent with the tree falling on deck. Definitely a first. Enjoy your new out door space."

Bob came out and gave me an original quote to do the replacement and adding an additional 4 foot to the lower deck to make it a 8x14. However this was subsequently increased.. The end products were a 12x18 and a 10x14 with aluminum instead of pickets. The project spanned 2 weeks however this was to tear down the original in two days an approximately 3.5 days to build the new the following week so a total of a week worth of effort. Did not speak to the crew that much however they were very skilled and thorough. I could not be more pleased with the final product. Some of the highlights I would like to add is: High Quality build, cleaned up as if they were never there all debris, trash and so on and were friendly when I spoke to them. I would recommend Decks By All Means, A+ builder. One thing to note though, the wood that is used does not require the standard 4-8 week dry cycle, so be prepared to stain and seal shortly after the project is done.
