Archadeck of Chester County

Excellent!

Outstanding price, quality work, and services provided. It's a raised deck with walkout basement directly below. During the demolition phase, we discovered water damage and rotted wood. I had already planned to replace the Ledger which is where the deck attaches to home. What we didn't anticipate was the majority of the wall below deck was also damaged. This cause a 1 day delay in construction project, they provided a very reasonable quote to repair everything. Can say it enough... Outstanding price, quality work, and services provided.

Everything went very well. Juan was of enormous help in the design phase. Elam is a skilled craftsman. All of the workers were courteous and professional.

Since we agreed on the project in November, it took some time to figure out when to start construction based on the timing of the new door delivery as well as the weather. Once the project started, though, Juan kept me well informed on the timing. His crew did high quality work, especially his carpenter, and they left the job site clean at the end of every workday. They were also willing to work with us when we needed to take time out of the schedule to install wiring for the new portico light, and they fixed unexpected molding fit problems due to changes in measurements before and after the new stoop was installed. All in all, we were very pleased with Archadeck and highly recommend them to anyone looking for porch or molding installation,

Juan was extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with. Even when I had a follow-up request 6 months later he was terrific helping me out. His crew were able to tear down and re-deck my deck in basically a day. The new deck looks great and the staircase is solid, the workmanship is terrific. They removed all the debris and left my yard looking great as well. I am extremely happy with Juan and Archadeck and would highly recommend them. I would use them again.

I really could not have asked for a better experience. The process was not stressful at all for me. I felt that the price was reasonable considering the amount of work that was being done. Everyone involved was professional and kind. Juan even worked with me... I needed to sign the contract so he came to my workplace so that I could do so.
I'm extremely satisfied and would highly recommend Archadeck to anyone!

Unlike any other person I contacted from Angie' list, Juan came out, looked at the job, and sent me an estimate. It took me all summer contacting people for the job. I was stood up, there was no follow up...very unprofessional. Juan was professional and prompt. After he completed the job he said it wasn't as much work as he thought and reduced the estimate by half. I would definitely hire Juan again.

 I have been in construction all most 45 years, and I could count

on one hand the number of contractors with the attention to detail, and ability that Juan and his crew showed from start to finish. This was a detailed project and the crew came through every time. I cant say enough good things about them.

Juan and his team were excellent.  They exceeded our expectations.  The porch and deck look great. The craftsmanship and quality is first rate.  We are very particular and looked at many contractors before deciding to go with Juan.  We spent a couple of years thinking about this project, so we had a very good idea of what we wanted.  Unlike some contractors, Juan didn't try to tell us what he wanted, he listened and offered great suggestions.  They have an extensive amount of photographs to help with design ideas.   We liked the work he did on other properties and checked into his many referrals.  All were very positive. The team started on time and once they started stayed on the job until it was completed.  There was no worrying if they were going to show up today or not. They were there every day.  We used Timbertech composite for the decking and railings. All of the trim was the highest quality Azek.  We wanted a hip roof so as to not interfere with windows on our second story- which worked out great- but adds a level of complexity to the building.  They took great care and attention to all of the details.  They used the highest quality materials and worked with us to ensure it was exactly was we wanted.  I would not hesitate to refer Archadeck of Chester County to anyone looking for a porch or decking. We are very satisfied.

It has been six months since we did our project with Juan and his team and we can now say with confidence what a great product they have.  Our new deck is very attractive and comfortable.  As important, the project was a full tear down and we have had several experienced contractors applaud the professional manner in which the deck was reconstructed to the highest building standards. The project was carried out in a very professional manner and they were very respectful of our home and privacy. We are comfortable recommending Archadeck of Chester County to any homeowner in the region.

I live in a HOA, so there were a lot of restrictions when building the roof. They met all the criteria with the materials. It looks like the roof came with the house!

The porch and deck are beautiful. The team was professional and always aware of the quality of the job. Taking the time to make it just right. The porch looks like it's always been there with the perfect match on the roof and materials. We are very happy with the job and would happily recommend Archadeck of Chester County to our friends.

I couldn't be more pleased with the work done by Archadeck.  The job was done quickly and looks fantastic. I had been searching for a contractor to replace/extend my existing deck and replace the stairs leading to my front door for close to two years with little success, until I requested an estimate from Archadeck.  The team was always on time, very respectful of my person and home and built me a beautiful deck.  They handled all 3rd party issues (home owners association requests and inspectors) professionaly and quickly.  I strongly recommend this company.

The work was done on time, within budget, and to my expectations.  Juan and his crew are VERY responsive and customer oriented.

After searching for a reliable company to repair my screened-in-porch, I stumbled upon Archadeck of Chester County. Juan Cardona came out to the house on our appointment day and was earlier than expected. He was professional, respectful and looked at the porch while trying to not disturb what my family had going on inside. He was courteous to get all of his measurements for an estimate with minimal disruption to us. The estimate was a little higher than what my wife and I were able to afford but Juan worked with us to see how we could lower the cost with various options to be a little more manageable. Right away, I felt like he was not trying to get as much money out of me as possible.  On both days of work, Juan and his company were there early. Never mind on time, but they came in at least 15 minutes early each day.  After agreeing to completely replace the wood framing and porch door, Juan promptly communicated an issue to me with the knee high wall that we were going to leave and build upon.  He showed me how the wall was not salvageable and he and his workman suggested various options to extend the screen to the bottom of the concrete slab and put up a railing in order to comply with code.  He sent me a picture to see what we could expect and revised his estimate keeping in mind the constrained budget my wife and I had.  The work was done in a day and a half, it looked exceptional and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the work that Juan and his company did.  It basically is a brand new screened-in-porch wrapped in vinyl for minimal up-keep.  I even had random questions on how to make the concrete slab underneath look a little nicer and Juan was always courteous to answer with suggestions or advice when possible.  At the end of the project, I told him that I wished they didn't just do decks and porches because I was so impressed with their work ethic, professionalism and attention to detail and would have used them for everything I needed to fix.

Archadeck and Juan Cardona were very professional.  Frankly, I had a little difficulty locating a company to rescreen my porch and I was delighted when Mr. Cardona came to give us an estimate in the Fall.  We agreed on a price and he indicated he would contact me in the Spring to set up an installation date.
He called me yesterday asking about the possibility of doing the work today and his men were here promptly this morning and completed the job in a few hours.
The screening looks great.  Job well done.  His men were polite and efficient.  I would definitely use his services again.

Juan was one time for our first appointment; delivered the estimate promptly; provided all the documentation necessary to receive approval from our HOA; and the work was completed on time, on budget.

They came out and examined the existing deck and made special efforts to procure the same decking material for the extension (since my deck materials had been discontinued. They went so far as to contact the manufacturer to obtain similar decking to the existing one. They came out and did the work in day and did a wonderful job. I can't even tell it was an extension. The price was very reasonable. I would without doubt use them again for any deck work mat

Wow. this project went surprisingly smoothly.  I attribute this all to Juan and his capable craftsmen. This was a large project, almost a year in the planning before I even contacted Archadeck of Chester County.  Once I contacted Juan Cardona, he responded with complete professionalism. He stayed on budget and ahead of schedule. Whenever there was a hiccup in the plan- (and when is there never a hiccup??), Juan adopted a problem solving approach. I felt like he always strove to keep my best interest in mind. Juan hired workers that displayed excellent craftsmanship as well as professionalism. I feel Juan is trustworthy and capable. I really can't say enough good things about Juan and his crew.   i am already dreaming about the next project that i can use them for.

We started the design process in July 2010. Juan Cardona came to the house to discuss the project and took some measurements. Initially we were looking to have the deck constructed from Cumaru, another Brazilian hardwood and although Juan had never used this material he went out of his way to try to get it for us. Unfortunately the supplier let us down so the deck was ultimately built with IPE. IPE is a relatively expensive Brazilian hard wood. It is dense and durable with an appearance similar to teak, which makes it an excellent material for outside structures like decks. However, it does require special building techniques including pre-drilling and sealing of all cut ends to prevent splitting and checking so it is important to use a contractor that has experience with this material and Juan has built quite a few of them. The design process took some time and for the most part this was my fault for not knowing exactly what I wanted. Sometimes it took a while for him to respond. Juan is very set in his ways and throughout the course of the project we did have a couple of conflicts but we managed to work through them. It took some time to get the material and there were delays due to bad weather so the deck wasn?t completed until early October 2010. The two man crew that did a majority of the work was polite and capable. In the end we got the beautiful deck we had envisioned so we were very pleased with the outcome.
