I chose Deck Guardian because of the detailed explanation provided of the services to be performed, a fair price, and other good reviews I had read. I have a large garden around the deck and it was very important to me that the garden wasn't wrecked. The crew worked very quickly, yet was as careful as possible with my garden. The workmanship is excellent. I appreciate their attention to detail which meets my very high standards. I would highly recommend Deck Guardian and I would use them again.

We had a brand new trex deck installed in our backyard approximately 580 sq ft. The owner handled all permits job was started on time. The workers were so diligent and professional. The quality workmanship was superb. They were working every day sometimes in the rain. The job was completed in less than two weeks. A seamless operation and would highly recommend this company to do your deck. We plan to expand the deck next season and will be using Deck Guardian again.

Quick, Reliable and Professional service ------------------------------------------ DeckGuardian justifies all positive reviews and feedback got so far. Jon, Peutro and all of deck guardian's crew scored 5/5 on all of following areas: 1. Timely Response and quick service: On our first appointment, Jon went through each and every requirements, our design ideas and on same day, he had design, specs and estimates on table. Simply unbelievable. No need to visit fancy design studios. We had gone through many other premium/platinum grade Trex contractors but no one even came close to estimates, design ideas and honest feedback DeckGuardian provided. We simply had peace of mind that we are making a right choise. period. 2. Ultra Fast installation: Entire crew was extremely professional, always on time even in coldest spring day. You won't believe how fast they work. Peutro really puts extra effort to finish job on time. 3. Reliability of Materials: It depends on what kind of Trex material you chose but we had gone for best and it really came out nice. No scratches even after we put heavy furniture items. 4. Design: Platinum Trex contractors provided us very fancy layout on softwares but trust me, technology is not magic. You need to design and have discussions back and forth to come up with design you have in your mind and at the same time not drilling a hole in your pocket. Jon was really patient and made this whole process so easy. He changed design so many times without making any fuss. Best part is, he still got everything moving parellelly to get permits and so on. Jon listened to what we wanted and he provided valueable inputs to make sure it comes out even better than what we imagined. 5. No Headache: Out of all our home improvement projects, DeckGuardian was the best. Nohting went wrong. They know their business and meets or exceeds all your expectations. They are always email or phone call away and will respond even if they are very busy in peak season.

Our new deck is totally beautiful -- we couldn't be happier. Jon is professional, knowledgeable, very personable, and was extremely helpful in discussing options for resurfacing our old deck. His crew did an outstanding job on the project -- working long hours, cleaning up each night, and expertly crafting every detail. The result is amazing. We highly recommend Deck Guardian!

Jon and his team exceeded all expectations with our deck resurfacing project. I'm about as detail oriented as it gets and regularly struggle when contractors don't do work to my high standards. These guys exceeded my standards. Jon is reliable and professional. He managed the project well and adjusted to our changes and needs along the way. Highly recommended!

From the moment that I spoke with Jon and he worked around our schedule to come for an estimate until the deck was completed, the process could not have gone better. Once we signed the contract for the project, Jon was transparent when it came to scheduling the construction, working around inclement weather. A few days after the wood arrived at the house, Jon's team came and demolished the surface of our old deck. They arrived early in the morning and worked incredibly hard to finish the demolition and repair the foundation in one day. The team that was working took care to clean up all wood and nails from the yard, which was much appreciated with a 15 month old running around. Construction of the deck took a couple of days due to the size, but I couldn't be happier about how it turned out. After the wood dried, we had them back to stain and seal the pressure treated wood, and it came out perfect.

Deck Guardian did a great job on my deck! The general manager was prompt, responsive, knowledgeable, professional and nice to work with. The crew was also very courteous, did a great job and left the job site clean. I've gotten so many compliments on my new deck, including from the building inspector. I would recommend them!

I am so thrilled with my new deck from Deck guardian. Every part of the process was wonderful, from the initial quote to final inspection. When we first met with Jon, we really were unsure of what he wanted so he explained all of the materials and options and even had some design ideas for us. He also listened to what we wanted and incorporated our ideas. The team came early, stayed late, and worked very efficiently. We had a lot of surprises, including a creative, not-to-code foundation, but the team took it all in stride and reinforced everything to bring it to code. The final product was far better than I ever could have imagined and we could not recommend Deck Guardian enough.

From start to finish, this company did everything right. From accommodating my timing needs, and keeping me informed, everything was done exactly as we agreed. The crew was neat, cleaning up every day, and friendly. John, the owner, was extremely professional in getting this job done wonderfully. The pricing was fare and the work was all first class. We couldn’t be any happier with the final product.

The design of my deck was very complicated - elevated with a complex design.  I interviewed several deck companies but didn't feel comfortable with any of them..they didn't like the design and even made their own suggestions to simplify it!  These companies seemed to want to do a predictable simple design.  DG was recommended to me by a friend, who highly recommended them.  I looked at their workmanship and was Impressed.  John showed up on time, looked at the design, the next day he send me an estimate.    I hired them and John scheduled a start day. Considering the size, material (Trex) and complexity of the project, I felt the cost was reasonable.   The construction team showed up on time and worked long hours every day for 10 days  to complete the project.  I was very impressed with their work ethics, professionalism and obvious top quality experience.  They really exceeded my expectations! I will recommend them to all my friends and family.

They responded to my internet inquiry quickly with a phone call to set up a home visit. John brought material samples, took measurements and discussed the project. He left that day having provided a cost estimate, information on timing and the building process. He was thorough and pleasant.

Deck Guardians was really responsive and professional even before the work began.  We got four price quotes before choosing a deck builder because ours was a large deck, lots of materials and labor.  Deck Guardians was the most reasonable and was transparent about the cost of materials -vs- labor.

There were a lot of "moving pieces" with my job because we had a pool install, hardscaping, electrical and plumbing.  Deck Guardians worked well with our other contractors to make sure they were not interfering with each other's work.

The crew that did the work were real craftsmen with a great eye for detail. They communicated with me every day regarding the status of the project and didn't hesitate to ask me about how I wanted certain details.  They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the way the deck looked.

I'm very pleased with how the project turned out. I'm confident that Deck Guardians will honor their warranty should that ever come up.  I heartily recommend them for any new or resurfacing deck project!

We are very glad we picked Deck Guardian to resurface our deck and build out our fence. They did a wonderful job and exceeded our expectations. Our experience with them was great from the time we met John for our quote till the job was completed. John answered all our questions and provided us with a very competitive quote. The crew did an outstanding job and were extremely professional. The project started on time as promised and the crew was were very attentive to minor details. They also left the place very clean after completing the job, making sure they picked up all the debris. We would gladly recommend Deck Guardian! If you are building a new deck or getting your old one resurfaced, we would suggest you give them a try.

appointment, he was very knowledgeable and patient to answer all our questions.
Jon showed us various decking materials and combinations and gave us very competitive
price quote.

From start to finish the job
was done in a professional and organized way. 
The craftsmanship of Deck Guardian crew was excellent.  When the project was done, we?re so thrilled
with the new beautiful deck they built. We highly recommend Deck Guardian!

The job was completed within 2-weeks of the estimate being provided. The job took only 2 days because the hardworking crew worked from early mornings until 7:30pm. Their workmanship was incredible and the finished work is spectacular. I could not be more pleased with the results of this project from beginning to end. In addition, the price was fair and everything went so smoothly from start to finish. I highly recommend Deck Guardian.

The whole experience was great. They were helpful with designing our deck and offered a reasonable price that beat the other installers we looked at. The quality of our new deck is incredible. I would definitely work with them again in the future.

These guys are great if you are interested in wasting your time.  Spent an hour with the guy that came for an estimate.  Told me he would have the quote in 1 - 2 days max.  If fact, when I questioned how quickly it would come after he said that, he even gave me a look like my concerns are unsubstantiated, and then assured me again it would be in my hands within 2 days.

It never came. 

Went on a business trip and came back, still nothing.  No voice mail, no email, nothing.

Sent the company an email thru their contact form, now 3 weeks after the estimate.  Waited 3 business days.  Nothing.

Called them and spoke to a girl who transferred me to Gordon.  Gordon seemed "surprised" I didn't receive my quote.  Told me that "it was ready and just needed to be emailed".  When I told him I need it by tomorrow so I could make my decision, he said "ohh it will be in your inbox tonight!". 

Nothing came.

Either this company is terrible or they are very busy. 

If you are terrible, good luck.

If you are busy then by all means don't lie to the people who took the time to call you and spend an hour with the estimator.  Tell me you are booked up and can't help me.  Tell me you know someone else and refer me and take a commission.  Tell me you will contact me in October when you are not busy.  Who is running the show over there?

Deck Guardian was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end.  They provided ideas to redesign the layout of the original deck.  They were prompt in their responses when I had questions and they started my job within a week of when I was promised.  They had advised me of the delay which was due to an entire week of rain.  They just completed my 32? X 14? second floor deck in 2 ½ days.  I expected it was going to take 4-5 days.  They tore down the existing wood structure, redesigned a section that included the steps, and replaced it with Trex.  They communicated with me along the way and when it was noticed that the supporting beam would stick out beyond the new deck, they brought it to my attention, and worked with me to find a solution to incorporate the beam so it would not protrude, even though it required additional work and materials.  The group of men assigned to my job were perfectionists.  They were prompt, professional, hard-working, highly skilled, and took pride in their work, going above and beyond expectations to assure that the end result was exactly as it should be, and that I was happy with it.  They were a pleasure to work with.  I am extremely happy with my new deck.  It is just beautiful. I highly recommend Deck Guardian.

We were looking to tear down our old wood deck in the backyard and front wood porch and replace with Trex materials. We got four estimates, including Deck Guardian. We had a great experience with Deck Guardian. Jon was great to work with. He went over all the details of the project, helped us decide on which color materials to use, and was willing to work with us on the price. We found their price to be reasonable- they came in around the middle of the estimates we received.
The project started within the time line that Jon said it would. The crew was on time, worked hard and did a fabulous job. They
were very neat and organized and left their work areas spotless when they left. They even offered really great advice about which color material to use for one part of the project, and I really appreciated their expertise.  We would recommend Deck Guardian.
