J R'S CUSTOM DECKS

In a word FABULOUS. Everyone was very professional, nothing left behind. There was one little oops, I called J R, he came back the same day and fixed. I am a little picky, but the job is now perfect.

JR and his guys are just awesome.  They built the wood arbor, cemented in ground some posts and anchored on stone patio other posts.  It was built and stained/painted all in two days.  JR had special steel brackets made for it as it is freestanding and he wanted to make sure it would be secure.  It came out just gorgeous.  Looks like it was always there as it just fit in perfect with the design of the house.  Now I won't have to close my blinds in the afternoon to block out the sun.  I can enjoy the beautiful back yard all day.  And we can enjoy the shaded part of the patio even on hot summer days.
About 5 years ago, JR redid both of my upper story decks and the support that extends down to the first floor porch.  He did such a great job on them and they are holding up so well, I just had to have him do this project also.  And both my husband and I are glad we
did.  We will always us JR for any decking or arbor projects and we will highly recommend him to friends.

We met with J R and discussed the layout of the deck and he took measurements and made note of the variance in the grade of the ground in the area and provided sketches of the design. We had underground water pipes for our irrigation system and pool plumbing underlying part of the proposed deck and he successfully built the founding piers around them . Within two weeks he was removing the old rotted deck and placing new base posts in cement footing. It was a somewhat difficult configuration with two levels, properly meeting between the house and the concrete pool deck which were not at 90 degree angles. We had to make adjustments while the building was in progress and we managed those changes successfully. It was all completed within a week, cleaned up and we could not be happier with the finished product and have received numerous compliments from friends and family.

We are very pleased with the work that he and crew did on the deck.  He was very prompt in completing this rather large project.  He arrived when he said he would and his crew was very respectful.  The quality of the construction was outstanding.  We have received a lot of compliments on our deck from our neighbors. The color slection he recommended along with the railings matched our trim and brick color very well.  I would highly recommend his services for others seeking a well built deck.

After contacting and receiving estimates from several vendors on Angie's list we chose J. R. Custom decks because his deck design was the best and the estimated cost was several hundred dollars less than his competitors.  He gave an estimate of $6,400 for a 12.6 by 13.6 foot cedar deck with an arbor.  The deck has a chevron pattern with a built in cedar bench on one side.  The deck railings are black metal poles which makes the deck look really nice.  The timeline for completion was 4-5 days.  He was able to construct the deck in 3 work days.  The final cost was the same as the original estimate.  The site was cleaned up well; his two man crew was professional and very efficient.  I would strongly recommend his service to family and friends and would not hesitate to use his services again.

The building of our deck went extremely well.  Excellent work was done.  Work was started early each morning and the workers did not leave to go to other jobs.  That was a big plus for us.

We picked JR because of his reviews on Angies List after getting reviews from other companies that left us feeling uneasy.  JR came out to our home, listened to what we wanted, took measurements and e-mailed us a plan and a price within 2 days.  There was absolutely no pressure to sign and commit on the spot like we had experienced with other deck builders that had come to our home.  The price JR gave us was excellent, and after a couple of revisions, and a plan drawn up by JR for the HOA approval, work started around the 23rd of October.  There was some delays due to injury and rain, but both decks were finished in 7 days, as well as the additional patio trim.  We are delighted with our new decks and they look even better than we had imagined.  We highly recommend JR and would hire him again.

Outstanding! J.R. provided what I needed to get approval from my HOA, got the permit, and got my patio cover built. I couldn't ask for more or better service.

JR came for a site visit and promptly sent an estimate for the work.  He understood exactly what I described and provided an excellent picture with the estimate. JR started work on the day promised.  He was on site each day with his crew and they were all very courteous and worked steadily each day. JR ensured all the work was properly permitted and inspected. The work area was left clean each day and at the end of the project. JR's initial estimate was a firm bid and was exactly what I paid for the work.
I love the new deck and would recommend JR to anyone thinking about this type work.

His company did an outstanding job building it and picked up after themselves. JR helped us decide what kind of deck would best suit what we wanted to do with it and designed it with us ahead of time and gave us an accurate estimate.

It was done quickly and efficiently with excellent building materials.
We decided we wanted more decking later and even though it was a small job, J.R. and his crew  came right back out and got it done
expeditiously.

The crew started on Monday morning and worked to remove the old deck.  They moved forward on only minor delays due to rain.  The project was very smooth and completed very professionally

JR showed up when he stated, performed the job as described and ensured the work was permitted through the city.  THe work was top notch and the end product was better than expected.  I would recommend JR's company to anyone in the market for a deck/patio.

If you enjoy dealing with a old fashioned craftsman, you will enjoy JR.  He is the true professional.  If he says he will call you back,
he does.  He calls, when he is coming over.  It is, what he quotes.  And his work looks really, really fine.  I have seen why this gentleman's company is rated "A".

This company was contracted based on reviews on Angie's list. I contacted two other deck companies but neither was responsive in terms of providing an estimate.
 The owner of the company was the one who gave the estimate and provided the plans for the new deck. We decided to go with Cedar because of its durability although it was somewhat more costly. The crew showed up promptly and worked half days, due to the extreme heat. Nevertheless, they completed the job in approximately 3 days. Unfortunately, it rained during the weekend in the middle of the job which caused quite a bit of muddy mess at the end. Of course, is not the fault of the contractor or crew. In spite of this, they did their best to clean up afterwards and I was quite satisfied with the work. They left no debris, nails or scrap lumber lying around.
I am very pleased with my new deck. I anticipate spending many an afternoon or evening enjoying it in the company of my family and friends. Now to get it stained and waterproofed.

Jose was very professional and called me within a day of receiving my first inquiry.  He e-mailed a rendition immediately and it was exactly what we wanted....PLUS the price was unbelieveably reasonable.  He used top of the line red cedar (which smells so good) and he and another carpenter finished the job in just one long morning!   We feel blessed to have found an honest and hardworking independent businessman in this day and age.  We are just so pleased and the only thing wrong is that we didn't do this years ago..!!

We had JR come out and give us an estimate for a deck to be built at our home. He was nice, helpful and very informative. He sent us the estimate in the time frame he promised.
We emailed him back asking for a change in the drawing and price quote for a different type of material and we have never heard back from him.
We can take a hint and understand that our business just isn't that important because we received no response which is so frustrating. We will try again with a different company.

We called to set up an estimate for a new deck to replace an old deck.  JR was punctual from day 1. We were pleased with his proposal and after the signed agreement he set a start date and an end date.  Each day his team were on time and worked  efficiently.  We are so pleased with the results.  I would highly recommend JR Custon Decks.  No matter whether the job is big or small people will get the best from highly trained people in construction.

JR is the consummate professional.  He showed up when he said he would, was always prompt in returning phone calls, and his final price was exactly what he quoted to us.  He drew up plans to our specifications, made recommendations to us that he thought would improve what we wanted, always gave us options about ways we could do things, but left the decisions to us.  I  am thrilled with the final product.  It actually came out looking better than I thought.  I had to call him back a couple of times for very minor things after the work was completed (and paid) and he was as responsive and courteous to these post job issues as when he was bidding the job.  (And, I want to emphasize the post job issues were very minor--and issues that he had already addressed but I decided I wanted him to do something a little different.)  Again, I want to emphasize how responsive and cordial JR was about meeting my overly perfectionistic requests.  I would recommend him as an A+++ provider.

I contacted JR due to good reviews on Angie's List. He came out promptly to discuss the project, offered good solutions and his price was very reasonable. He provided good references, started on time and finished the work when he said he would. JR communicates well and is very professional. I would certainly recommend JR to anyone looking for a contractor with experience, dedication to his craft and integrity.

PERFECT!

Extremely well

Called JR to query about his services and he got back with me quickly and came over and gave me an estimation.  I changed a few things and he was flexible and did everything the way we wanted it to be done.
It took his crew just one day to complete the project and everything was done to our satisfaction.
We would definitely call upon him again if and when we need more work done.

After contacting about 7 contractors I decide to go with JR because when I spoke to him and explained that I wanted to build a deck along side my property line he was the only person  who told me about the city ordinance and what could happen if I did build along side the property line. I was very grateful for that information because I'm a first time home buyer and have no idea about city ordinances.
JR and his team not only finish the job quickly but  did an amazing job as well. The color of the deck even matches the trim of the house. We wanted to extend our current patio and put a barrier up so that the kids could play on the side of the house and not have access to the back of the house where the pool is. The composite deck is well worth the money because you don't have to worry about any maintenance other than using some soap and water to clean the dirt off. When the work was done they picked up all their trash which was greatly appreciated because the kids run around bare footed sometimes.

When looking for a deck builder I asked my neighbors who had built their beautiful deck.  The gave me J.R.'s name and I looked him up on Angie's List before contacting him.  He had good reviews so I went with him.  At our first meeting I asked him to come up with what he believed to be the best design for the home and property.  He came up with the perfect design.

His team was efficient, fast and obviously skilled in deck building.  It took them only 2 days to complete the job in very hot weather.  They were good at cleaning up the debris when finished.  I am extremely pleased with the design and construction of my beautiful deck.
