Whitson Construction did a great job. He was quick, efficient, respectful and a great value. We will use them again for other similar projects when they come up.

Mr. Whitson was very prompt with all appointments and professional in all aspects. He completed the job in an appropriate amount of time despite less than optimal weather conditions. He explained all the work and consulted with me on any changes needed. I will definitely call him for other jobs.

He is honest and does not price gauge. He was professional, on time and finished the work on the deck in less time then expected. I would definitely hire him again.

Whitson did quality work. He did the work quickly and efficiently while ensuring every detail was done well and according to code. The ramp is safe, usable and enhances our home's looks. We are most grateful to John Whitson for the job he did and already we have recommended him to our neighbors.

He gave me a good price and went out of his way to make sure I was happy. He added lots of small touches that he didn't have to do but made a big difference in the overall look of the project.

John makes every effort in doing a job right. From the beginning he was very honest in the cost of the job and tried to make sure we were happy with the result. He rebuilt the back deck with new composite material and finished it to look like a new project. He also stained our front porch and made repairs that I requested. I highly recommend him and will use him again in the future.

John Whitson did not use screws to build my deck, he used nails that were too short, the wrong size posts, the rail came loose from house, spindles too far apart, very scary to walk on, which I will not. I need the deck to get out of my garage to go to the back yard. I had carpenters look at it and they told me all I that I have said and that it needed to be rebuilt. I am an older woman and I dont see how anyone can build something like that not caring about a persons life. It eventually will fall if it is left as it is. Now I have to pay more money to get it fixed or rebuilt.
Response from Whitson Construction
"Used all correct materials. built deck to code.was skeptical about taking a job miss white told me a contractor before I quit. felt sorry for her finished contract she was happy with the project. a year later called and said the post was lost. offered to go look at the project .said she did not want me back .already had a carpenter. I cannot please everyone. but my other reviews speak for themselves. I strive to make sure every project I do is to code. correct materials are always used. and every homeowner is satisfied with the project. miss white was very difficult to work with. was not happy with anything. wish I had never taken the job. und"

John Whitson is an extremely intelligent, professional, man of his trade. He tore down a deck and rebuilt a much better one. He showed up on time, cleaned up after himself, and kept me informed on the progress of the deck. He is a very hard worker and so kind. I highly recommend him , and will hire him again for future projects.

John came out on time to provide us with an estimate. Once we made our decision to contract the job with John Witson Construction, JOHN showed up each and every day on time as promised, leaving the job site clean each and every day. His attention to detail and genuine concern for our satisfaction is what will bring us back to John for our next project. I highly recommend John Witson construction for any carpentry project that you may have

Mr. Whitson was wonderful to work with. He has immense knowledge and experience, and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and sturdy deck. He also was able to quote very close to the actual price, and it was very reasonable, especially in comparison to others we had requested quotes from. We would hire him again.

John was very professional and work in a timely manner, cleaning the area that he work in very well. John explained everything clearly about building our handicap ramp, and done the job. John was very polite while doing the work. Very satisfied with the job and work ethics. If you need someone to hire to do a building project, I recommend John.

Comment: John was very professional and did an exceptional job on our deck project replacing deteriorated deck boards, steps, stringers and railing. During the project other issues were discovered with rotten ledger boards, beauty band, etc. and he repaired/replaced those at the same time. We were also replacing all railing with another type and he had great suggestions that turned out beautifully. Some of our structures were not straight or level but John has the experience, knowledge and skills to work with this. I was very pleased with precautions taken to protect our home and surrounding property to prevent damage and that debris was removed every day instead of waiting until end of the job. I'm looking forward to John building a large carport for us next year.

Easy to work with, great attitude, great craftsmanship, best price compared to two others, finished product looks fantastic. John is the man, for real. Our deck was 6' x 38' and in desperate need of replacement as it was borderline dangerous to be on. We now have a 7' x 38' deck made with top craftsmanship, new product and we didn't use 5/4 boards and went with 2x6 for decking boards. Wife and I couldn't be any happier about our experience with John.
